Infrequent physical or emotional harm. Show Notes This week, Fiona is playing Koriko: A Magical Year - A solo journaling game with novice witches, urban exploration, and teenage drama. Written by Jack Harrison and published by Mousehole Press, Koriko is a bubbling cauldron of simple rules and writing prompts, stirred together to produce the story of a teenage witch spending a year away from home in an unfamiliar city. Using the book, a deck of tarot cards and a teetering tower of dice, the player will explore the city, work to improve their witch’s fortunes and meet some of the weird and wonderful residents who live there.
