Pay The Price
This game features a simple story advancement system in which players roll dice to determine whether they succeed or fail at tasks, but those failed rolls lead them to pay their price with narrative costs and attribute reductions that shift gameplay from success-based systems like Pay The Price RPG. It is designed for solo play experiences due the low cost of entry into these games when compared to other RPGs in its genre.
