Materials


To play Pocket party, you need to read through this SRD (hey! you are already doing that!), understand the basics of the game, and gather at least 2 friends.

Once your group is gathered, you will also need at least:

  • One four-sided die (d4)
  • One six-sided die (d6)
  • One eight-sided die (d8)
  • A way to track fear counters going up: dice, tokens, paper…
  • Stuff to take notes, like pen and paper (please don’t bring your laptop)
  • Material to make the cards listed below: blank cards, post-it notes, cut-out paper. As long as you can draw from a stack at random
  • Stuff to write on the cards

Card Collection


Here is a quick checklist of the cards needed to prepare the game. We recommend reading through the SRD first to understand what they are:

Hero cards set (1 per Player)

  • 3 character cards
  • 3 fate cards
  • 1 backpack card
  • 1 Avatar card per pocket world (or 1 for all, write small!)
  • 1 spark card

Trouble cards set

  • 3 fear cards, one of each
  • 1 shadow card
  • 1 crisis card
  • 1 tension card

Unless we are really bad at math (very likely tho), you need 9-12 blank cards per Players (plus or minus extra Avatar cards) and 6 blank cards for the Guide!
