TRAVEL NOT ADVISED
A downloadable TTRPG
TRAVEL NOT ADVISED is a tabletop roleplaying game that allows you and your friends to create your own stories within and interpretations of the excellent isolation-horror genre. With 2-6 players and one Documentarian or DM, together you will trespass into unknown and mysterious places and draw the ire of the supernatural MONSTER that dwells there. The game is setting-agnostic, meaning that any setting you can dream of will work thrillingly well with the rules and guidelines I’ve set out here.
I love horror, the structure and feel and balance of it. I also love games that allow you to make genres your own! Inspired by the amazing podcast The White Vault, I took it upon myself to create a modular framework that would allow any group of friends to take full advantage of the wondrously fun and frightening genre that is isolation-horror - no writing experience needed.
The 37-page long, painstakingly laid-out book you'll be buying contains the rules and materials necessary for one-shot play! Included with the book are EIGHT, count em EIGHT unique and fun playbooks, THREE post-death playbooks called PATRONS, a unique and satisfyingly mean dice engine, and a super cool and creepy cyberpunk adventure that you and your friends can drop straight into, no prep needed! There are TWO versions of the main pdf in here, one of them in full color and the other in printable black and white, for those of you who either like printers or are colorblind!
Depending on how this edition is received, I'd love to run a kickstarter (or something similar) to get a high-quality physical edition of the full game released! The full game includes another two PATRONS whose mechanics don't quite work in oneshots, as well as a WEALTH of mechanics that are COMPLETELY absent in this version of the game which enable campaign-length play! (For example, all the playbooks will have EIGHT moves to choose from instead of just two!) If that's something you're interested in, please let me know either here or @200ProofGames on twitter! Also, if you either don't have the money for this game or just don't wanna buy it, grab yourself a community copy! Every time someone buys a copy, I'll add another community copy to the pile! There's some minor visual issues that happened during exporting for the color version - I'll get around to fixing that soon!

Big fan of The White Vault, so when I saw the title of this I picked up one of the community copies. Rules look very light and interesting so far. When I eventually run this I'll come back and leave a proper review.
Awesome! Hope you have a great time! If you have any questions or anything just shoot me a dm on twitter
I have been looking at this since development and all I can say is that it's a masterpiece.
I usually don't give much stock to genres such as horror and survival but this game... I want to play it SO BADLY!!!!!!
IT'S FINALLY FREAKING OUT OH SHIT!!!!
