is a single-player RPG about perception, These character pieces help establish your past, present,
truth, and fate.
To play you’ll need 1d6 (one six sided die),
and a journal.
Your character is the of a 32-episode
mecha anime. During these 32 episodes, your
will slowly come to realize that reality is
not what it seems. They have plot armor, which is the
ability to survive any and all situations they may face due
to being the main character of the story.
However, your will, unknowingly, die at
the end of episode 32.
You can choose any setting for your 32-episodes as long
as they contain the following:
• Mecha known as
• Mecha fighting or conflict
• unimaginably difficult situations to escape or
overcome without immense luck and/or impossible
skill
• a hot springs episode (optional)
What’s important about creating your is
their mecha show archetype:
• The Reluctant Hero
• An Emotionless Genius
• Completely Inexperienced, Full of Heart
• The Child Prodigy
• For Honor and/or Country
• To End Suffering
• A Foolish Perception of Being A Pilot
These archetypes are not binding, as your character may
hit more than one of these during play. Consider them
optional foundations for which to build off of, as well as
potential moments in your character’s story.
You begin on Episode 1. Pick an arbitrary, awesome
sounding “star date” to track time with, and title your
episode. For example:
Your first episode must include the following plot points:
• How you became a pilot
• Your expectations for the future
• What greater conflict you’re enlisted in facing
• How you feel about said conflict
• Your relationship with your
and future, and solidify your character archetype. If, during
the game, you run out of motivations or ideas on how to
continue, come back to these pieces for inspiration.
Your character is chronicling the episode after it
happened, so use the past tense. This is the case for every
episode .
Once you feel that you’ve covered the episode fully, roll
1d6. Take the result, and add that number to your current
episode number. If you rolled a 4 and you were on
episode 1, you are now on episode 5. If you’re on episode
5 and you roll a 6, you are now on episode 11.
Once you know what episode your next journal entry is
about, roll your 1d6 once for each of the following
sections to decide what impossible happening your
went through.
1d6 Result Impossible Happening
1 Blacked out in the middle of an unwinnable battle
2 Transformed into a new, powerful form
3 Went berserk and slayed friend and foe alike
4 Melded with their
5 Used the power of love
6 Came back from the dead
1d6 Result Impossible Happening
1 Summoned a new weapon
2 Temporarily transformed
3 Took over control of itself
4 Spoke to the
5 Learned a new, ultimate ability
6 Is a piece of GOD
While chronicling each episode tell the story of whatever
time skips might happen. This can be due to episode
jumps, or even by moving the “star date” forward by
choice. Episode 32 can take place ten years after episode
1, or ten days.
Once you finish chronicling an episode, use your 1d6 and
roll for each section again to choose the prompt for your
next episode. You can interpret the prompts in any way
that make sense to you. Each one of these situations
brings your closer to realizing that they
are an invincible, impossible being. When they become
sure of this truth, and in what context, is up to you.
Upon reaching episode 32, the format changes slightly.
Instead of just chronicling the past, you’ll also include the
present situation your is in. The situation
that will, unbeknownst to them, will be their last.
Once you have completed the episode, the game is over.
