How to Host a God
A downloadable game
In a dark corner of the city, a tiny spore of an ancient god germinates into a small, colorful mushroom. Today they are small, but soon they shall grow large again.
A person of below average status walks the streets. Today they are weak, but soon they shall grow powerful.
The Mushroom God and the Human Host will soon find themselves inextricably linked as they both grow in power together. A host is a finite vessel, and endless growth is not sustainable. This will not end well.
ABOUT THE GAME
This is a storytelling game for two players. Through three acts (plus a prelude and an epilogue), you will tell the story of how a Mushroom God and a Human Host come together, grow, and eventually come apart.
You will use a standard deck of cards (jokers removed) and the mechanics described in this document to narrate the story. Your actions will shape the tale.
This is a horror game, and may touch upon dark subjects including physical transformation, loss of identity or individuality, cults, dreams and prophecy. There is no sexual content or explicit violence.
