What it is about
Whozits & Whatzits is a solo TTRPG where you play as a merfolk living in an undersea community. Fascinated by humans, you create your own museum storing all human artifacts. What is this flat black box? Could it be a shell cracker? And this tiny soft bucket with strings? Perhaps it’s a bowl? Building your museum isn't easy, but with the help of your community, you're confident that you can fill your museum one day. Mechanically, you do so by sketching or photographing real-life items around you, then give them a name and describe their purpose from your merfolk’s perspective. What might a merfolk think a shoe is for? Or a cup? What about a bed? Your goal is to collect 100 different human artifacts to fill your museum, forging friendships and possibly love along the way! What you need to play: A way to record your game 1d4, 1d6, and 1d20 dice Items from your surroundings This game is inspired by: Little Mermaid, Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley 《人魚博物館》是一款單人TRPG遊戲。你將扮演一名對人類世界感到莫大興趣的人魚,最喜歡收集人類遺留的物件。這個扁平的黑盒子難道是開殼器?嗯,這個軟綿綿,自帶一根繩索的迷你器皿可能是一個碗?現在是時候建設屬於你的博物館,來展示你的珍藏吧! 建設你的博物館並不容易,但擁有來自深海社群的幫助,你對於收集填滿所有藏館頗有信心。在遊戲中,以現實世界手邊的物件代表每一個在遊戲中搜尋到的人類製品。為物件拍照片或是畫出物件作為記錄,然後以人魚的角度為其命名,並形容物件的用途。人魚會認為鞋子有哪種作用?一個杯子?一張床呢? 你的目標是:收集100個不同的人類物件。在過程中,更可能與深海住民們建立深厚的關係! 遊戲所需: 記錄遊戲的工具 一顆四面骰子,一顆六面骰子,和一顆二十面骰子 手邊各種不同物件 此遊戲受到《小美人魚》,《牧場物語》,和《星露谷》啓發。
