+----------------- Welcome to FAST DRAW, the free demo of our initiation engine project. -----------------+
Our goal is to present a strong, working, open, initiation-minded, newbie players-oriented roleplaying game.
An initiation game where the active play starts after FIVE MINUTES.
Five REAL minutes to be roleplaying for real. Not twenty.
Without using pre-generated characters or loads of archetypes to choose from.
But including both rules explanations and character creation.
FIVE MINUTES to turn a newbie into a roleplayer.
Yes. THAT quick.
Because we all know the very first contact with TT RPG can become a time-taking dramatic fumble:
- Already wanted to give someone a roleplaying initiation on a 5-minutes notice instead of a half-hour?
- Ever dreamt of being able to answer to someone who expressed an interest in our hobby by a "Cool, do you have 300 secondes?" instead of a "Cool, just let me check the character creation system in the 400-page rulebook".
- Thought about turning hordes of disbelievers into avid roleplayers instead of having them walk away in fear?
- Already hoped that the pre-generated characters you brought could satisfy players tastes?
Here's our answer to these questions.
We wanted an initiation roleplaying system especially designed for that friend who says: "Oh I love this serie/manga/comic/movie/book so much. If only I could find a way to live these stories better."
Not another new game to take players out of your favorite game systems. But instead a real engine to show newbies that roleplaying is not that difficult and that hundreds of pages of rules are not mandatory.
What was our plan?
After we wrote CARTOMANCY RPG, several persons asked us to create a kinda "roleplaying boardgame". They meant a roleplaying system which brevity of rules and clarity of character design could allow IMMEDIATE PLAY. Something akin to starting to roleplay 3 or 4 minutes only after someone expressed an interest into our hobbby.
Our solution was not to erase the initiation session problems by using pre-rolled characters, by choosing between three dozens archetypes, or by lying and stating that "once you're accustomed to it, the character generation takes less than a half-hour".
To achieve this purpose, we kept the clever tricks we designed into CARTOMANCY (btw, check the free demo to get your own opinion), we've thrown away the unnecessary burden (which amounts to a few side-rules) and we naturally ended up with a dream becomed true:
A game which allows a roleplaying start in nothing more than FIVE MINUTES of real human time (no kidding).
All in a 8-page free demo.
Enjoy Y'all!
