Expanded Houses
In the core book, your mage character is sorted into one of 5 houses. This doesn’t add much mechanically or content wise, but the houses do add atmosphere and a roleplay element. Expanded Houses adds 14 prompts to each house, delivering a total of 70 new prompts to vary gameplay. Each set of prompts is split in two. One set is for your character’s early years at Brackroot Academy, and the second set is for your character’s later years, when things always seem to get worse. Scroll down to the team section to see the list of fantastic writers that contributed to this section!

The Lost Houses
Formerly banned from campus, House of None and House of Divines are being reinstated. They’ll bring an additional 28 prompts themed in their images.
- House of None is an alchemy and science-based house banned from campus for breaking the space-time continuum and corrupting the timeline. Only students who live there know how to find it.
- House of Divines, a demonic and vampiric house, is under the campus cemetery and chapel. They’ve been known to perform blood magic and if rumors are to be believed, even worse acts on campus. None of the faculty understand how the house was reinstated.

Cunning Cults
There are many sects gunning for power on campus. Those who hold the knowledge, shape the future. This small expansion includes 5 extremist groups your character may be asked or forced to join.
New third-year events
During the third year of every Tangled Blessings game, there is an alumni ball where something terrible happens. Echoes of Lost Electives includes new horrifying events to interrupt the dance and influence the organizations throughout campus and beyond.
Twisted Endings
To end Tangled Blessings, you and your Rival face off in a final exam. The exam has 16 possible outcomes that until now would lead to only 3 possible endings. Twisted Endings adds 16 dark and delicious outcomes that lean heavily into the magic and horror of the academy, featuring robust and potentially deadly scenarios for your mages to weather. All of the new endings support both solo and two-player Tangled Blessings games.
