A downloadable disaster

Download NowName your own price

You were an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, until you suddenly and unexpectedly died! It might have been heroic, or a twist of cosmic fate, but for whatever reason you were singled out by the Gods of a new world to become one of its heroes.

There is only one problem: this world is not finished. The Gods are still ironing out the rules of physics, magic, and human behaviour, but they want you to go ahead and start dealing with monsters and villains while they work the kinks out! This will be an adventure filled with magic, adventure, and life-altering glitches and exploits. Are you ready for an early access isekai?

This simple two-page RPG is designed primarily for one-shots or very short campaigns, with a group of people who probably just want to goof around for a bit but could maybe wring some drama out of things if they wanted to. 

This RPG is now part of Friv Yeti's Fantasy One-Shot Collection, but for a limited time you can download it for a price of your choosing!

I have a love-hate relationship with isekais, so this seems like a lot of fun! One thing I'm confused by: "After that, each player writes down every Talent that every other player is either Known For or Terrible At on their sheet. They may assign a d10 to one of these; if they do, they must assign a d6 to another one. All other Talents are rated at d8." Could you give an example of this?

Absolutely, and I may look over it to clarify the rulings. 

Let's say we have four people at the table: Alice, Bob, Charlie and Dana. 

Alice decides that she is Known For Swords and Terrible At Barter

Bob decides that he is Known For Music and Terrible At Dark Magic

Charlie decides that they are Known For Light Magic and Terrible At Fishing

Finally, Dana decides that she is Known For Acrobatics and Terrible At Flirting.

Now, back around to Alice! She currently has Swords d12 and Barter d4. She looks over the other options,  and decides to take Fishing d10. To balance it out, she takes Dark Magic d6. 

Alice's Talents are now:
Swords d12, Fishing d10, Music d8, Light Magic d8, Acrobatics d8, Flirting d8, Dark Magic d6, Barter d6

If Alice decides later that she wants to do some bureaucracy, well, the gods haven't implemented bureaucracy so it falls under non-existent things.
