Part-Time Heroes RPG
 |
Part-Time Heroes is not about great warriors or the mighty wizards mentioned in the songs. So forget about the adventurers immortalized in legends and revered throughout the kingdom.
This role-playing game is about everyday people who¸ for lack of something better to do¸ seek part-time adventures. Some of them act inspired by the old songs¸ and wish the glory¸ fame and fortune of the Full-Time Heroes. Others¸ in turn¸ just look for a quick way to earn more coins.
Part-Time Heroes is a one-page micro RPG that doesn't use any dice. However¸ you will need many coins to play.
Print¸ play and have fun. Flip a coin and pick it up in midair - like those cartoon's swindlers - to determinate your character's success. Buy information¸ bribe guards¸ and sell your enemies' equipment and monster's carcass to evil sorcerers to leave your miserable life behind. Part-Time Heroes RPG was developed as part of One-Page RPG Jam 2021¸ created by James Lennox-Gordon. Complete rules in just one page. Learn how to make actions¸ fight monsters¸ challenge your friends¸ and even how to accumulate coins to advance in your career. Progression table with daily income. Use Milestones to track the story's progress. And it's okay to interrupt the adventure before saving the princess or killing the monster. After all¸ you're just a Part-Time Hero.
