A(nother) dialogue & social interaction tool for solo-roleplaying

(Just click that image above to get the PDF. Or this link, if you prefer that. I'm not judging)


Current version: 0.01b: (Scroll to the end of the page for the changes)

Pending errata: None at this moment!


KEEP TALKING!  (the oh-so-imaginatively-named evolution of the LET'S TALK and KEEPING CONTACT solo-rpg tools) will let you manage dialogues and social relationships in your solo games. And you only need one thing: this document. And a D10  die. Two things! This document and a D10 die. And five printed cards. Three things! This document, a D10 die and five printed cards. And a an almost fanatical devotion to the Po...no, wait, I think I went off of the rails.

Anyway. In KEEP TALKING!, you'll find:

- A Dialogue System inspired by dialogue-trees from videogames.

- Four different Dialogue types, each one with different available goals: ask for help, start romances, defend your convictions, or just chit-chat with a friend, among others!

- Five different approaches for each Dialogue type, each one with five different potential reactions from NPCs.  

- NPC Traits (Role/Attitude/Mood/Memories) that describe your relationship with NPCs, both long-term and short term.

>>It’s Monday morning.

 >>Today’s classes will start soon.

 >>You are now at the main gate of your High School.

 >>What do you do?

DOKOSOKO HIGHSCHOOL is a tabletop solo-RPG engine that lets you play Visual Novel style games. In its core manual, you'll find...

  • A default setting with 12 pre.-made NPCs, and both city and school maps. Sorta. Kinda.
  • Rules for playing the game based on eleven commands: MOVE, TALK, EXAMINE, REST, ACTION, CHALLENGE, INVOKE, TAGGING, REACT, UPDATE and ENDURE.
  • Social rules that let you turn Strangers into Acquaintances, forge Bonds, engage in Rivalries, start Romances, and more.
  • Dialogue rules covering heated arguments, polite conversations, friendly talks and intimate moments.
  • A Resources Appendix document with tables, rules summaries, sheets and cards.

But that's not all, because in addition of the core game, you can also get the following DLCs (fear not, they're as free as the game itself)
  • VANILLA+ MODE: new NPC roles, rules for creating them (nope, those rules were NOT in the core manual), and more!
  • CLIQUES&COMRADES: rules for managing NPC-NPC relationships and Factions!
