Soiled Doves is a short RPG about prostitutes struggling to make enough money to eat aboard an airship the size of the Titanic while a Jack the Ripper-style cannibal stalks and kills them. It is kind of dark.
A player character, referred to as a Dove, is defined by three aspects:
- Youth vs. Experience
- Discretion vs. Wantonness
- Valor vs. Selfishness
It uses a dice pool mechanic that divides 12 dice into each side of an aspect. The dice on one side are d4s and the dice on the other side are d8s (so a character could have 6d8 Youth and 6d4 Experience, or 1d4 Youth and 11d8 Experience, or whatever).
