5-min-e
Scav Hunt 2020, item no. 76: "Richard Garfield originally created Magic: The Gathering as a way to kill time in between Dungeons & Dragons sessions, but since that game has taken off, we need an RPG that can be begun and finished in the time it takes to sideboard a deck! Develop a micro-RPG that can take us from character creation through a satisfying and emotionally cathartic resolution in no more than 5 minutes. [You rolled a nat 20 points]" A little tiny one-player RPG about being an adventurer and keeping a meticulous logbook/journal. One cycle should take about 5 minutes. Created by me for Breck Scav.
