Vibe Check is an illuminated by LUMEN tabletop role-playing game for 3-6 players inspired by The World Ends With You.
Players take on the roles of Players in the Watcher's Game - a week long challenge with the prize being another shot at life, while another player takes on the role of the Game's Master to introduce complications and consequences the Players must overcome as they fight to survive the Watcher's Game.
Vibe Check features LUMEN's fast paced dice pool system, tailored for action filled combat and paired with plenty of powers and cool abilities.
Players choose one of six Archetype, each with their own unique starting ability, and then customizes and powers up their characters with Tokens and Looks.
- Tokens - physical manifestations of your soul - unleash action and chaos on the battlefield and combo with your fellow for wild effects.
- Looks - clothing and accessories that determines your health and augments your attributes and powers with special tags.
Fight the Pandemonium within the Inversion to earn new Tokens and rewards. Upgrade and buy more powerful gear. Survive the Watcher's Game.
During a typical session, players will complete one or more Missions given to them by the Watchers. Missions center around combat encounters which are fast-paced and action packed. Players are encouraged to get creative in applying their Tokens and powers to create cool combos with other players.
The table can play Missions as standalone combat scenarios or string them together into campaigns over multiple Loops where players explore the Inversion, power up to eventually face the Watchers and uncover the true motivations and secret schemes behind their mysterious Game.
What people are saying about Vibe Check;
"Vibe Check is swimming in style and substance, as you and your friends take on the challenges of The Game. Over the top action, stylistic combat, and a really fun shopping sequence, Vibe Check has it all! I can't wait to see what our crew comes up against next time, because I'm not sure how you're going to beat a chaos kraken made of skyscrapers"
- Spencer Campbell - Gila RPGs
"Vibe Check draws upon its inspirations with a deft hand, but through the process of dimensional alchemy makes it something entirely new and exciting! Vibe Check has an evocative premise, a thrilling combat space open to intuitive interpretation, and the fun time of shopping with your friends. It's a fascinating combination and so fun to play!"
- Jamila R. Nedjadi - Sword Queen Games
"Hey, have you ever wanted to flip kick a concrete demon in the face while your murder of crows beats up a traffic light golem - and then shop for the newest street fashion as a treat? You'll probably want to check out Vibe Check, is all I'm saying!"
- Jon East - Heroes of the Moebius Guild, Empowered
Vibe Check is a part of the Lux Collective currently Itchfunding through August 2021! The money raised during this period will go toward more cool art and extra written content. The full version of the game will release no matter the level of funding, but the more money raised now, the cooler the game will look!
Preordering the game now will get you the final version upon release. Vibe Check is currently planned for a digital only release, with the final version releasing later this summer or early this fall (the exact timing will depend on how much extra art gets funded). Basically, the faster we hit stretch goals, the faster I can pay the artists and the faster the final version gets made!
