There Used to be Magic, Once

Directed by Christine Brooks

The old stories say that there used to be magic, once. It is no longer safe to discuss this openly. There is a guide who claims to know their way to an ancient source. A small group of travellers is following the guide, each for reasons of their own. But can they trust the guide?

Join our players for a liveplay of There Used to be Magic, Once — a relationship-focused fantasy role-playing game that explores themes of trust, power and longing.

There Used to be Magic, Once uses the Descended From the Queen system.
