In my quest for ever-easier RPG introductions, I present:

  • Choose-Your-Own-Trial is a CYOA[^1] where you're in jail, then on-trial. It introduces the system and gives you a tiny character sheet.
  • Induction at the Temple of Beasts is a mini lore-dump in a short story (set after the trial).
  • Another CYOA follows, where you hunt an albino basilisk who's definitely not Moby Dick.
  • The 'Halfshots' are tiny modules which take about two hours to run.

Everything was made to be printed (so you can score through HP boxes with a pencil) but reading should be fine.

[^1]: A 'Choose-Your-Own-Adventure' book was a short book disguised as a long one, popular in the twentieth century. You make a choice at each paragraph to have the hero fight or flee or whatever by selecting the next paragraph you jump to.
