Witches' Path

Witches’ Path

A tarot-driven tabletop roleplaying game of witchcraft, fate, and trials of transformation

Witches’ Path is a narrative-focused, crunch-light tabletop RPG about witches walking a path of trials shaped by fate and choice. Instead of dice, the game uses tarot cards to resolve conflicts, introduce consequences, and guide the direction of the story.

Players take on the roles of witches bound together by shared power, purpose, or peril, telling stories where magic is never free and every choice leaves a mark. The game emphasizes collaborative storytelling, meaningful consequences, and character-driven play over tactical optimization.

How the Game Plays

• Play as witches travelling a defined path made up of trials, dangers, and hard decisions

• Use tarot draws to resolve actions and interpret meaning, not just success or failure

• Create characters collaboratively, establishing shared history, tension, and obligations

• Explore ongoing campaigns or shorter story arcs

• Designed for GM-led group play, with solo play rules included

Roleplaying your character’s flaws, fears, and weaknesses is mechanically rewarded, encouraging stories of transformation rather than power escalation.

Tarot as a Core Mechanic

Tarot cards are used as the primary resolution system, replacing dice entirely. Each draw determines both outcome and narrative direction, ensuring that success, failure, and complications all move the story forward.

You’ll need a standard 78-card tarot deck. No memorization of tarot meanings is required—the system provides clear guidance while leaving room for interpretation and thematic play.

The World & Tone

Witches’ Path is set along a remote, liminal journey where witches walk between the seen and unseen. Ley lines twist beneath the earth, old spirits linger in ruin, and magic reshapes both the world and those who wield it.

Power comes at a cost. Spells scar the soul, bend fate, and demand sacrifice. Along the path, witches confront trials that test loyalty, belief, survival, and what they are willing to surrender for what they desire.

The setting is intentionally flexible, allowing each group to shape their own world, mysteries, and themes.
