Hi Tummy Boy, good work on the really cool game, played and had a blast!
I organise the role playing events for a boardgame cafe and would love to print a copy for in the library, please get in touch and let me know if this would be a problem and I'll remove it straight away.
Hey there! I'm a little free library lady. Would you be cool if I printed out some copies of this and included it (with dice!) in little free libraries? I have these cards I had printed up that I write in where to find you. Thanks in advance!
Hi Jacob! I'm writing a bit of chapter content for a compilation of micro-TTRPGs for the classroom and would love to remix YASP (with full accreditation). How may I contact you to discuss permissions?
I just ran a session of this with my wife and some friends. It ended up being a "Zany Rom-Com in the Subway" starring three cousins on their way to a ball in their Regency-style subterranean society of alternate-universe NYC. HP ended up reflecting both physical health and pride. My wife doesn't have much experience with TTRPGs, and she took to the game's mechanics immediately and had a great time. A+ would play again.
Greetings! I downloaded this for free and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so much that I'm now returning to purchase it! I now host daily games of this on startplaying.games and run it when I've got players absent from my d&d table and I've had wonderful responses from every player I've encountered so far. You've created a fantastic system that is as versatile as it is simple. Thanks so much. I'd love to have you come play it some time! https://startplaying.games/adventure/clepzj0r7000108l6hlxl5g5i
Maybe even make it a charity event where proceeds go to a good cause?
I got "You Awaken in a Strange Place" for free on Pay What You Like several weeks ago, and have been dying to play it. Last weekend, I finally got to play it with my wife and nieces, and we had so much fun that I decided to go back and buy it again, this time paying money for it. If you're looking for a zero-prep TTRPG that isn't D&D, check it out!
I ran this with my parents, and my sister and brother in law today. I've never DMed anything and my parents have never played an rpg, my sister is a DnD newbie (as am I) and it was the most fun I've had with that specific group of people in ages! it went so far off the rails we couldn't even see them any longer, and I just had to leave a note saying thank you! I'm so glad this exists.
Don't know if you'd still want a response this late, but I've been playing it with five people and it's been very successful! We get the fourth player to give either a Genre or Adjective wildcard to the setting generation, and just play as per usual with the additional skill verbs.
This was tremendously fun! We were a bunch of stoner prog rock aliens fighting to win a battle of the bands at a festival designed to celebrate those silly mythical "Hoomans" - it was a blast!
Thanks for making it, definitely recommending it to everyone I know for a fun one-off RPG experience!
Played this with my friend group after y'all first streamed it a while back. We were miners mining Stank at the bottom of the Deepest Hole In The World, and we eventually overthrew the Foreman of the Stank Pits.
5/5 Would rope my friend who's the best out of all of us at improv into GMing this again.
My friends and I played a while ago and we were rebel space pirates trying to steal the secret herb & spice blend from Galactic Overlord Colonel Sanders and his henchmen the Spice Girls!

High school teacher here. Very excited to use this with my students to develop team building skills!

I looked here to find the rules after playing a session with you, nice coincidence seeing your comment!
Everybody should definitely check out his startplaying account, he's a great DM, 10/10!

Looks like a fun way to BS a real quick game session. May have to give this a try.
Quick question: Players get 10 HP, but I don't know what HP are used for. Doesn't seem to be a way to lose them.
This is currently my group's regular game! Easy to set up, fun to play, wild to adventure in, and alarmingly flexible for different scenarios :D
Does anyone think that it would be possible to play this with more than four people?

I added an era inspiration setup for my fourth player. But I'm a costume designer and so I knew that would help me add flavor!
i’m so glad this is on itch now! thank you for writing this game, it is so much fun to play :)

Can't wait to make a dumb story with my friends!

Pure chaos, so much fun.
