I was browsing through my ridiculous number of ttrpg bundles for something I might want to run for my friends, and let out a literal GASP of delight upon seeing this, because I immediately knew in my heart that I absolutely have to make either a hack or supplement to mash this up with my #1 favorite indie video game of all time Self-Checkout Unlimited. ((...I hope that's okay?))
Edit: omfg I just realized I can make playbooks out of the [SPOILER REDACTED] you get at the end of the game........
well gosh, don't let me stop you! that sounds amazing, and I'm so glad to hear YAH inspired you like that :) if you do end up making something, please feel free to get in my face about it — I love that people are creating things for this fever dream of mine and I'd be happy to link to it on the game page 💚
Absolutely love this concept, I'm going to run this with some friends tonight. My only question is, from the Encore, what does it mean to "take opportunities to facilitate the bad end"?
Oh hell yeah, that's so awesome!!! I hope you and your table have a good time :)) And good question! That was some language that I'm planning on making clearer in the update later this summer.
Here's the scoop: When The Encore enters The Loop, they receive a vision of something that will go wrong if the party doesn't change their course. As long as the Encore isn't actively doing things to stop that event from still happening, they remain in The Loop.
At first, it might sound counterintuitive to purposefully lead the party into a bad situation, but the Encore is a big risk vs reward playbook — the closer you can barrel towards a bad situation, the better chances you have of diverting course at the last possible second and saving everyone.
