Paragraphs & Pommels • 2019 rpg

The GM is known as the Hero, and the PCs are known as the Weapons. The Hero can only bring one Weapon into the dungeon.

Before you begin coercing the Hero, each Weapon must roll a D6 to determine how much time they have to convince why they should be used. Each Weapon rolls and multiplies the result by 10. This gives them a time limit in seconds. 

After you have selected which Weapon you are, you must convince the Hero why you should be chosen. Each Weapon has a restriction, and a number of seconds on the clock. If you mess up, keep going! After everyone has gone, the Hero chooses who to take. They win!
