Hoax: The GMless TTRPG of Fabricated Evidence¸ Fast Talking¸ and Fallacies in Logic
A group of scientists were tasked with making a great scientific discovery.
Due to a countless acts of gross incompetence the scientists didn't find evidence that was even close to proving their theory.
However¸ that is not the story that these characters told their advisors.
The aforementioned scientists decided to con their advisors into believing that they truly did achieve their unachieved goals in progressing science.
This case¸ hereafter referred to as Hoax: The GMless Roleplaying Game¸ describes how the characters attempted to deceive their advisors into believing the hoax¸ as well as what factors decided their success or failure.
Hoax: The Gmless Roleplaying Game of Fabricated Evidence¸ Fast Talking¸ and Fallacies in Logic is an absurdly comedic game about determining whether a team of fraudulent scientists can convince their advisors of a ridiculous finding. This improvised story is supplemented by a card game competition between the players representing the dueling scientific and advisory teams¸ the results of which determine whether the hoax is believed or not. Hoax can be played with as little as two players and completed in under two haywire hours.
