Olivia Hill Rule
NO FASCISTS
If you’re a fascist, you’re not welcome to play this game. It’s against the rules. If you’re reading this and thinking, “You just call everyone you disagree with a fascist,” then you’re probably a fascist, or incapable of drawing inferences from context and acknowledging a dangerous political climate that causes the oppressed to be hyperbolic. Don’t play this game. Heal yourself. Grow. Learn. Watch some Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood or something.

I saw this after playing village witch and thought that this would be a really interesting spin on it! I love the tarot card prompts and the character creation ideas (love the idea of a Do Not Resurrect!) and I can't wait to play!
I hope you enjoy it! Village Witch is one of my favorite games and I loved making this version of it.
Note: I have the Olivia Hill rule on this game and am adding it to all of my games because Fascists cannot help but out themselves. Thank you for making yourself known in my comments so that I can report, block, and ban you. Next
"If you’re a fascist, you’re not welcome to play this game." It's hard to take you seriously when you include some mindless, virtue signalling bullshit like that in the rules. It literally changes nothing, it's just you saying "OOOH I HATE FASCISTS, LOOK HOW GREAT I AM!" Yeah, no shit you hate fascists. Doesn't stop anyone from playing, doesn't do anything for the game. It's just silly, why even bother? Hell, all that "rule" might do is make fascists play the game out of spite.

Did you read the rule?
Reading the rule explains the rule.
