Mile's End

  • Indecisionist Productions (map)

Foretold is a way of playing narrative story games driven by a series of prompts; following in the footsteps of games like For The Queen, Women Are Werewolves and In a Wicked Age, the prompts for the story are determined by drawing cards from a deck. Each iteration of the basic form of Foretold tells a unique story and puts its fingerprints on the standard rules with a few minor variations to them.

This one is Mile's End, described as a Foretold game of Melancholy Nostalgia. It's a contemporary tale of nostalgia and the way
we recall the past as a better place to live. Taking inspiration from The World’s End, the main characters embark on a pub crawl to relive past glories and reconnect with friends they haven’t seen in a long time. As they revisit the pubs they once frequented in their youth, they will relive painful experiences, make peace with their past and maybe even find out that not everything is as it appears to be here.

The cards will determine what pubs we visit, who we run into and what's on our minds. But it's up to us to bring these prompts to life. We also decide when to leave a pub behind, only to see it inevitably change and close down. The game ends with a short epilogue reflecting back on our hometown and the friends left behind.

Themes: melancholy, nostalgia, loss, friendship, memories, changing times.
The x-card will be used to ensure everyone remains comfortable.

Players need to have some TTRPG experience. New players to the system are very welcome, just make sure you're comfortable improvising answers to specific prompts. The GM is very familiar with this game.
