What it is about
ESCAPE FROM THE DROWNED PRISON You regain consciousness in your prison cell as it slowly fills with water. A terrible storm batters the floating fortress where you have been held captive for the past 3 years. You are badly wounded and alone, the other inmates and guards have either fled or perished. You must escape before the prison is swallowed by the deluge. DETAILS: 1-Player YOU WILL NEED: A 6-sided die Coin Pencil/Pen HOW TO PLAY: Players begin by rolling a die to decide character stats: Strength, Perception, Intelligence Agility and Luck. Every scene, players must pass a skill check to proceed. Players must meet the minimum skill value stated. Roll a die to receive a “chance” value that gets added to your character stats to determine success. (Skill Check = Stat + Chance) After a failed skill check, the player must toss a coin to decide the cost of a retry: Heads = Free retry, Tails = lose 1 heart to retry. Should the player lose 3 hearts, it's game over. DEV MESSAGE: Thank you for checking out my game, I hope you enjoy it. This is the first one-page RPG I have made. I had a lot of fun writing it.
