What it is about

A belated entry to the 24 Hour TTRPG Jam hosted by Not A Vampire Studios. Written on my phone during a lazy morning, hacked together from three significantly more influential systems; Diedream, Bivius, and Caltrop Core. I hope you find some value in this thing! For now, it exists only as a screenshot of my notes app and in this handy code block: A dice-less resolution system based on the works of Alfred Valley (Diedream), Riccardo Fregi (Bivius), and Lex Kim Borrow (Caltrop Core). You only need basic addition skills to play. *** Scratchpad is for freeform/story games. When you face uncertainty... 1. Envision three outcomes: Worst, Mixed, and Ideal. The scope and specifics depend on fictional positioning. 2. Choose a random 3-digit number, then find its digital root by adding all its digits together until you're left with a single digit (1-9). Consult the results table below. 1-3: Worst / 4-6: Mixed / 7-9: Ideal The rolled path is now canonical. Repeat ad infinitum.
