TEMPORAL ROBES
A card-based Time Travel RPG
About TEMPORAL ROBES
What flavor is it?
Temporal Robes is a card-based time travel role playing game. It is a mixture of card game, rpg & story-based exquisite corpse.
It has a basic health system for players [operators] who encounter combat in their temporal travels, and a democratic take on the role of TM (Time Master), whereby everyone gets a chance to direct the storyline based on the TM card drawn.
How does the TM role differ from traditional DM?
The role of 'Time Master' revolves clockwise. The current TM will be identified by their stewardship of 'the time crystal' (a limited resource). TM cards pertain directly to the role of Time Master, It is the sole responsibility of the Time Master to draw a card and shape the storyline based on the card's prompt phrase, while providing each operator a chance to make an action. Each action will be accompanied by a D12 roll, the result of which will dictate that action's success on a scale of 0-12. After all operators have had a chance to perform an action, the crystal is passed clockwise to the next Time Master, who draws a card.
What about the basic health system?
In the event of 'Health-Hazardous' Actions, TMs may ask Operators for a second D12 roll to calculate damage to they and nearby Operators' health. All operators begin with 100 health points by default.
Who decides the place & time?
Firstly, all players must cast a vote for a Place & Time at the start of a game, this vote is kept secret. Operators can write their Place & Time on their operator sheet, and roll a D12. The highest roll sets the game's beginning Place & Time by that player's choice. All players may now create their Operator based on the chosen Place & Time.
What's the catch?
3 'Temporal Shift' cards in the deck can present themselves at any time, causing a fracture in the timeline, taking all Operators and items on their person from the beginning Place & Time, to the second highest opening roll's Place & Time. After all Operators have had a chance to perform an action in this new environment, and the TM has had a chance to weave the actions into the new timeline, the time crystal is passed on to the next Time Master, who draws a TM card and takes over based on the phrase drawn.
What phrases are on the cards?
The TM cards consist of 52 phrase cards and 3 Temporal Shift cards. Each word or phrase is pulled from the last 100,000 years of human history, though open ended enough to be interpreted in a variety of ways. It is the responsibility of the TM to use them as a compliment to their own imagination. In the future, there may be expansion packs with all new TM cards. Do you have what it takes to be an Operator? Do you have the constitution to be a Time Master?
Included: (55) 'TM' cards with holographic gilt, (1) Black D12, (1) Deck of Operator Sheets, (1) Time Crystal, (2) Pencils*Box can be flipped upside-down and used as a central playing platform.
