A short, absurd, SciFi with a rules-light system.
Gameplay Premise: This game begins in a freeze-frame with each player in the midst of a wacky randomized situation which they will have rolled for. Players must then introduce themselves by saying, “yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.” After everyone is introduced, the game master will then flash everyone back to a random starting location, and the meta-goal is for players to figure out how they end up in their wacky situations in time for their story's climax. They must do this by setting it up in as natural of a way as possible as they play.
Plot Premise: You’re at a medieval convention in the year 8032 on the planet Earth. Humans, aliens, and robots have all gathered at real castle ruins to cosplay as knights, wizards, and dragons and share their love for the ancient time period. Your goal at this convention is to get the autograph of Chester Stretch, the famous actor of a long-running medieval-fantasy show that’s been on the air for 408 years.
System: This game is more focused on roleplay than game mechanics. All you will need to know is how to roll skill checks for Strength, Wisdom, Charisma, and Dexterity. Constitution and Intelligence have been removed for simplicity sake, but feel free to bring them back and edit rules as you wish.
