What it is about

Why make the climb? Is it for the view from the peak? Or is it for the journey and what you learn in attempting it? Summit is a solo TTRPG of climbing, of exploration, and of discovery. With the help of a standard deck of playing cards, you'll make a journey never made before, attempting the heights of a mountain unique to your character. There's no mapped-out route: you'll discover the quirks and dangers, as well as the wonders, of the mountain as you journey ever upwards. Your character, too, will be discovered as you reach for the clouds. Each night at camp you'll encounter a figure from their life, be they close friends or half-forgotten acquaintances. You'll learn about them, how they know your character, and you'll learn who you're playing as, bit by bit, want by want, memory by memory. Step by step, you'll grow closer to your final goal: the Summit itself. Not everyone will make it to the top. But after all, isn't it about the journey, not the destination? Summit is designed to be a relaxed but rewarding experience, over the course of which you develop your character and their surroundings. As such, it would be ideal as a means to develop a character you plan to play for another TTRPG. With its card-based mechanics, there are literally millions of potential games, so no two will ever be the same. Will you make the climb?
