Halloween game preparation

It's only 9 days to Halloween so it's high time to prepare a special game to celebrate it. Watching recently the Walking Dead season two and reading through Beedo's awesome blog I've decided to playtest my game Cossacks & Tartars. It'll be game of zombie-survival set in the territory of modern Ukraine. What is unusual - it'll be a solo game with my girlfriend, so a lot retainers will be involved, but that's not a problem since she'll be playing a noblewomen. Think of zombie cossacks and tartars, scythian liches and renegate alchemist-satanist roaming the vast steppes of Ukraine.

Spell Casting: Clerics cast divine spells from a specific list, as per the Cleric Advancement table. Clerics of specific gods might have entirely different sets of spells as designed by the Referee. Each day, the Cleric prays for a certain set of spells, choosing any spells from the standard list. Once a spell is cast, it cannot be cast again until the next day, unless the Cleric can prepare the spell more than once.

Animal totem: Every shaman Turing his rites of initiation chooses animal which Best reflects his nanture the totem animal. By doing so, shaman gains some ablilities which reflects those of his totem.
