Never Stop Smiling is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic eight-page mini-RPG. An unknown cataclysm tore apart the Earth and decimated humanity. "Cursed lands" and "wild places" have subsumed the world.
The Happy Place is one of the walled cities housing the remnants of mankind. There it is literally the law to Never Stop Smiling. Players explore the dystopian society of The Happy Place and mysteries of the broken world they live in.
Characters can usually never die, only be lost to madness. If a character dies, they will mysteriously resurrect off-screen and return to the story. However, the ressurection is flawed, leaving behind a disturbing resonance of instability. The mysteries of the world can also be too much for the mind to bear. Eventually, the instability will become a permanent madness.
Uses a simple yet deep 2d6 system, tuned for the wild nature of the setting.
This is an expanded Special Edition playtest, based on the original one-page experimental release.
