knapsack
Play this game with 1-2 people and record their journey by leaving various imagined triketes behind as they travel from home (a physical address or a place you've called out), packing new truths in the process, collecting them along the way for proof of your wild tales. The goal is to leave one identity while arriving at another through story telling; there are two files provided: printed and plain text format with front-and-back pages combined into an easy printable page or on a single sheet formatted as you prefer (elements can be adjusted easily based upon playtest feedback). This game was created for the 2022 One Page RPG Jam. It is inspired by video games, Keri Smith's How to Be An Explorer of The World and my recent cross-country moves; it explores identity transformation through travel experiences with a focus on consolation or recognition from new relationships formed along the way (if playing solo). I appreciate any feedback for further adjustments based upon playtest notes.
