[VISORPG] RULE OF FIVES: An add-on for ViSORPG about Teamwork & Human Relationships (and, maybe, also Giant Robots)

 


DOWNLOAD LINK (VERSION 0.02)


For those who want to play solo, but not too much solo, here there is Rule of Fives (or Ro5s): an Add-on for the VISORPG game that lets you play with a team instead of with just one lonely character. Not that the core manual didn’t allow you making a team, mind you…but here you’ll find more structure, and stuff like that.

Thus, in its 40-ish pages you’ll find…

·        Five game genres which let you play with archetypical 5-member teams: can you see the symmetry here? So you can choose your poison:

Sentai: color coded for your convenience…and with an included mecha!

Mahö Shöjo: Magical Girls fighting against Darkness in the name of Light & Friendship!

Master of the Elements: the adventures of the Master of the Four Elements (and company), trying to save the world from a terrible crisis!

The Great Heist: apply a little of karmic balance by robbing to the rich and give it to the poor. Or something like that.

Pop band: ‘Scooby doo’ meets ‘This is Spinal Tap’. Nuff said.  

 

·         Rules for romancing. Nuff said, again.

·       New Dialogue options: now you may be romantic or even flirt…but expect some eye-rolling responses if you have read the room in a wrong way.

·         Mecha combat rules: because that mecha in the Sentai game isn’t there just to look cool and sell merchandise, y’know.

·       New events: what are the rest of the team members doing when you’re not looking at them? Now you can know it!

[VISORPG] HIGHER RESOLUTION - A troperrific, cliche-laden and convention-filled Add On for VISORPG (but potentially standalone)

 


[Update: The content of this Add-on has been included in the second edition of the 
VISORPG system. So, if you came here only for the tropes, just click in the link below...but if you're interested in the whole deal, you can find the full game here!]

[Another update: Since 01/29/23, there's something that's a lot like a second edition of this tool, even if with a different name. You can find it here!]

[And keeping with the updates: Since 04/18/23, there's even a sequel of that something-like-a-second edition. You can find it here!]

Download link (Ver 0.01)


As if VISORPG wasn’t already full of clichés, tropes and conventions, this Add-on will take it up to eleven! In its 16 landscape-oriented pages, you’ll find a bunch of 10 x 10 tables with tropes and simillar stuff for different genres: Action, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Sci-Fi and Superpowers. Yes, that means that, for use the, you’ll need 2d10 in addition to the usual 2d6. What did you expect? If you want to play with higher resolutions, you must update your hardware!

Also, this Add-on expands the runes tables, following the same principle: 100 results instead of 36 for each table. That means that the chances of getting a ‘Platypus’ result will be greatly diminished. Feature? Bug? The jury is still out on this one.

As things are, this Add-on could be used as an additional Oracle for other solo RPGs. Maybe a somewhat weird Oracle...but who am I to judge?

[VISORPG] OUTLAW EFFECT - TREK WARS, the SciFi Add-On for VISORPG

 


Download link to the PDF  - 0.02 Version

Download link to the Game Setup Tool


As I (not actually) promised, here there is the first Add-On for VISORPG, the Videogame-ish Solo Roleplaying Game. And, if its title wasn’t enough of a hint already, let’s take a look at what’s the theme of this Add-On, and its content:

·         An adaptation of the rules from the VISORPG core manual to play a solo sci-fi RPG experience.

·         Two modes of play, Starship Captain and Space Rogue, inspired by…oh, come on, the title said it all already!

·         Rules for space combat, unknown world probing, loyal crew management and many more. Or, at least, a little more; this Add-On is only 30-ish pages, after all, no a gaming rendition of the Galactic Encyclopedia!

·         An Inspiration Pad Pro table to create a game universe with just one click. Or 25 universes,  if you forget to modify the default application values. Don’t worry, even 25 of them would be created in just a breath.

So, just click on the links at the top (we’re staunch believers in the just-with-one-click philosophy, as it seems) to get the corresponding files!
