While the ghostly story telling game What We Possess is the focus of the Kickstarter, Zoetrope's 2nd Edition, Death Didn't Take, is also having its soft launch on that project!
In this zany time travel TTRPG that runs on cards, you and your friends take on the role of time travel rent-a-cops, trying to solve time crimes. While players have their Actions, Gear, Time, and Weapon cards to rely on for informing their roleplaying choices and actions, Story Leaders are not left in the dust!
This is a game system that can run with zero preparation, even for the person running the game, thanks to Event cards!
These square cards have an Inciting Incident that can give you what the mission is for the session, but they also have a bunch of additional information you can use to inform details such as what time we're going to, where in the world we're going to, names for NPCs your players might run into, pop culture touchpoints that might relate or be used, weird Zoetrope canon events, but they also have something that any game can use...
Does it feel like the game is getting a slow point? Does it seem like the mission is being completed a little too easily?
Flip an Events card and choose one of the three Events to have suddenly happen to complicate things!
These are also great to use in response to weird actions your players might take, to see how the world might react.
So if time travel shenanigans sound fun to you, now is a great time to hop over to the What We Possess kickstarter today and pledge for a copy of ZOETROPE, or get both games together in a discount bundle! Each game is just $25, or grabbing both gets you them at $40.
