Forget
A downloadable game
1+ players | 30+ minutes
We are one, and we are an experience. From the first cries and lights and sounds to our dying day, we are the feelers and keepers of our experience.
This is a fairly sad one, if you let it be that. Play alone, or if you'd prefer, with trusted friends, as you work through the development of key memories in a fictional life, and watch as those same memories are altered, damaged, and misplaced as life goes on.
Content Warning
This RPG concerns the development of memory, how it adjusts over time, and how it is lost. It can bring up thoughts and images of conflict, grief, trauma, and medical causes of loss of self. Be careful with yourself.

This game is GREAT for developing new characters. A new OC I was working on feels much more fleshed out now, and I hit a lot of poignant moments. All in all, I spent a solid 5 hours (on-and-off) writing detailed entries for each round, and played 12 rounds total.
However, I did run into some mechanical issues, mostly with the "add all previous rounds to your total".
With age, I dropped that completely. My character aged according to straight 2d6. When I added the round#, I aged too quickly in the beginning, and then in my 40s, I hit the 12 year age limit per round every single round. I tried rolling over the extra years (ex: roll a 7 + 8 rounds = 15 - 12 = age 3 years), but then I was aging too slowly. Just using the straight number provided a more balanced experience.
With the "emotion/who", I encountered the same problem of frequently getting a total number over 12. In this case, rolling over the extras was a great solution, although the current chart has no option if you roll over to a 1. (I just rerolled then.)
1d6+round# worked perfect for the form/change/forget mechanic.
Thank you so much! I encountered the same- so I will likely do a little update soon to help with that! I am glad you enjoyed the process.
