Sankofa
A Ghanaian narrative RPG about exile, responsibility and rebuilding a community.
The situation
A raid has left Kobiri damaged. Osei, the king whose laws drove people into exile, has been removed. Kuukua is sent to find those people because the village needs their skills to recover.
What the player does
Travel beyond Kobiri, meet people who left and understand what happened to them. Take on practical tasks, learn from specialists and bring useful skills and resources back to the community.
Return is not forgiveness
Koro returns to work at the forge. Adoma helps through planting visits. Biney remains with the people who need her elsewhere. Rebuilding Kobiri means accepting that help can take different forms.
Skills with a purpose
Forging, growing, medicine, stonework, woodworking, defence and travel connect practical work to the story of recovery.
Who it is for
Sankofa is for players who enjoy narrative RPGs, character relationships and the practical work of helping a community recover.
Publishing conversation
I’m looking for a partner to help bring Sankofa through its remaining development, testing and release work, and connect it with players who will care about its story. I can share the current deck, playable evidence and production plan in a direct conversation.
