This is a simple, lighthearted roleplaying game for two people designed to make it as easy as possible to improvise your first adventure completely from scratch, with no preparation. Also available in solo and play-by-post modes.
Your goal is to improvise a short, self-contained mini-adventure that is resolved within a single scene. You can complete your first adventure in 20 minutes! Then, if you like where the story is going, you can string a series of these mini-adventures into longer quests and campaigns.
No prep required! You will discover the story as you go, and be surprised by the direction it takes.
Three Versions
- Quick Quest — The default version for two players (in person or over voice chat). One player narrates, the other plays the hero.
- Solo — Play by yourself. You are both the narrator and the hero, improvising a story one scene at a time.
- Play-by-Post — Play with a friend asynchronously via text messages. Perfect for playing at your own pace throughout the day.
This game is perfect for:
- Beginners who are looking for a fast and easy way to start playing, without having to commit to a long-term campaign or learn an overwhelming system. You can complete your first adventure in 20 minutes!
- Experienced players looking for a minimalistic rules-lite system focused on storytelling, improvisation, and roleplay.
- People who struggle with "paradox of choice" and "analysis paralysis" — you read many rulesets and supplements, but can't choose one. You're looking for a simple game to help you get started.
