FEATHERED ADVENTURES is a diceless tabletop RPG in which you play anthropomorphic birds going on pulp adventures¸ trying to overcome their flaws to come out on top.
It can be played with or without a GM and requires 3 to 6 players¸ for short one-shots (1 to 2 hours) requiring very little preparation or slightly longer campaigns.

FEATHERED ADVENTURES is diceless and keeps things very simple!
Characters are defined by answering a series of queries about them (for instance¸ what do they do when they get angry¸ or who is their best friend outside of the brood). They also each have a specific mechanic to ensure them a total success in their actions: for example¸ the rich but good-hearted character only fully succeeds in doing something if they sacrifice something costly to do so; otherwise¸ they can only succeed with a complication¸ or fail.
On top of this¸ each adventure type has its own progression rule¸ which ensures that each type of adventure feels differently both narratively and in terms of rhythm.
Apart from these two mechanical details¸ the rest of the game is almost entirely concerned with freeform narration!
