Totes!

Two worlds. Two heroes. Two sets of luggage. 

Totes! Is a short-session storytelling RPG designed for two players (although it can be expanded to accommodate more). Sessions can be as short as 20 minutes. Across sessions, you share the duties of being Game Master (GM) or playing an adventurer, taking it in turns.

Uniquely to Totes!, your adventurers live in separate worlds (which can have separate setting styles, themes, time periods or genres) unknowingly connected through their luggage. World A is contained within, and directly affected by, the luggage of Character B; and World B is contained within the luggage of Character A.

This means that items added to or taken from your character’s luggage have important implications for the story of your co-player’s character. Through playing multiple sessions of Totes!, you will explore these changes and undertake exciting adventures through the landscapes of your respective worlds.

For a quick intro and example of play, you can find a one-hour Actual Play recording here or included below as a downloadable mp3. 

This game was made in a week as part of the TGI (Tiny Game Idea) Friday series!
