Anything Goes PWYW Version
DeScriptors: A Word Game Micro RPG was first released to the public as part of 2015's Wayne Con¸ and it has been featured in several episodes of the popular writers' workshop podcast¸ the Worldbuilder's Anvil¸ hosted by Jefferey Ingram!
Create characters in a minute. Come up with a handful of encounters¸ scenarios¸ or plot twists in five minutes...or even on the fly! Run a full¸ satisfying game in just 1-2 hours! But even within the compact nature of the game¸ the use of adjectives and nouns forces characters to change and grow as they deal with the scenarios they face¸ and therefore a short series of continuous sessions or even a long campaign are fully supported¸ and your characters will evolve!
This roleplaying game and setting fits beautifully on one-page for quick-referencing¸ and we've included a longer-form version (about 3 pages) that provides a more useful layout for player handouts and to include a piece of art by the amazingly talented Rick Hershey to get you in the mood for the gonzo setting! "Anything Goes" -- inspired by the short story "While You Were Gone" -- is best described as "a setting where infinite portals to infinite worlds collide with the Earth¸ played for surprises and laughs." It doesn't necessarily have to be comedic though¸ as the word-game nature of DeScriptors lends itself to the tones and themes that you wish to explore in an incredibly simple¸ tightly balanced package.
If you like what you see here¸ please consider throwing the recommended price at us so we can put that toward the development of DeScriptors: Definitive Edition! This will feature multiple all-new campaign settings¸ variant and optional rules¸ and a game master guide-style FAQ by creator Matthew Bannock and podcast host Jeffery Ingram! Otherwise¸ enjoy this PWYW version as the perfect short-form game¸ convention game¸ or pickup game that you can fit right in your pocket!
