she is also a protagonist in our game bonemeal

(i thought Matias was the protagonist?)

she is cheerful and full of life

kinda of a goody two shoes but we love her for it

she is 14 years old when the game takes place

now it's time for some fun and not-so-fun facts!

she loves to read! what a bookworm!

a little bit shy when meeting new people but still willing to lend a hand (let's hope this doesn't give her trouble in the future!)

she uses she/her pronouns

has a sweet tooth, especially for chocolate!

she is an only child but would love to have a younger sister

both of her parents are doctors so they are extremely busy!

she gets bored easily so she likes to go to the forest to find treasures!

she had never find something of value though

The Monster Manual but it's blatantly written by the monsters

Imagine a person who only consumes Batman-related media. That is, they only watch movies and TV shows that have Batman in them, only read books that are novelisations of Batman media, only play licensed Batman video games, and so forth. This is not so absurd an idea; Batman-related media is sufficiently popular, varied and widespread that restricting one's media consumption in this way is completely feasible. However, I trust we can agree that if you actually do this, you will be left with very strange ideas about what popular media looks like.

The next step in this analogy is undestanding that if the only tabletop RPG you're acquainted with is Dungeons & Dragons, you have the same grasp of the tabletop roleplaying hobby as our hypothetical Batman Guy has of popular media.

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

The actual story

Okay so I realize that the first "story" post didn't tell you guys a lot about what our game is about

Let's change that shall we?

SPOILER UNDER HERE!!

Okay, so the game starts with a scene in a forest and a background voice talking about being lonely and doesn't remember much about their life.

The scene cuts short when an alarm clock starts to sound in the background waking you up.

In the first playthrough, you control a young teen called Matias.

Matias goes around their daily life, helping their mom and taking a stroll around town.

After that, Matias and the player decide to go to the forest to think and maybe find some cool mushrooms.

After maybe getting a little too deep in the forest, you start to hear a voice coming from the ground.

When you look down, you see a human skull… well, most of it. And the skull is talking to you.

Before the skull can actually explain why and how it is talking, Matias gets scared about it, kicks it out of panic, and runs away to their house.

The next day, still haunted by the image of a human-talking-skull, Matias decides to go back to the forest to convince themselves that it was some sort of dream or maybe some weird hallucination.

Spoiler! It was not.

After his better judgment, Matias decides to hear the skull out and ends up giving him the nickname of Skelly (there is an option for the player to give the skull a name but is still in development, there is a certain undertale reference if you name the skull sans or papyrus).

Skelly ends up telling Matias that some of his parts (part of the skull and jaw) are missing but that he still can feel them around town.

Skelly ends up asking Matias for help to recover his missing pieces.

And Matias says no.

After some more convincing from the player and Skelly, Matias ends up saying yes and decides to help Skelly out.

After finding a good chunk of his parts scattered around town, Skelly starts to remember some of his life when he was alive and ends up going to the realization that he was probably killed, but he doesn't remember if it was by accident or intentionally.

After finding his jaw, Skelly remembers his age and real name… but with this information, you piece together that Skelly was a kid that disappeared when most of the adult NPC were young, and that means that one of the people you know in your life was the murderer that killed Skelly.

Now with this information, you have to try to find out who the killer is, but before you can start your new quest… Your game crashed and closed.

If you restart the game, you play from the beginning not as Matias but as Isabell!

Relive the same story but as a different protagonist, but remember, you are not Matias anymore.

The people around town will act differently around you because "You" are a different person.

Some NPCs that helped you as Matias could be your enemies as Isabell and vice versa.

While Skelly is sitting in the forest, confused about what happened and why he doesn't remember his name anymore… but he does remember Matias and their little adventure and is very confused about why there is somebody that is certainly NOT Matias picking him up from the ground.

The player has to work with Skelly and Isabell/Matias to solve the mystery again and try to figure out why the world started again.

All of this while interacting with unique NPCs and finding a bunch of references to games we love around town and the forest!

If you wish to help us make our game real, please consider buying us a kofi!

When we get a demo for the game, we plan to release a Kickstarter to make a full game.

Please join us on this adventure!

Given how much of feline play and social behaviour are imitative in character, I feel like it shouldn't come as a surprise to gamers that their cats want to roll the shiny math rocks, too. Like, you demonstrated that this is a form of play and let them watch you do it. They're participating!
