5-min-e

This was incredibly helpful for me when trying to understand how to make my own game. It's so simple and yet VERY effective - how do you get people to imagine? Thank you so much for sharing this.

Dear yenofven, I made a Notion template so people can play your RPG and have a logbook directly at hand. Please tell me, if this is okay for you or if I should delete it: https://melaeckenfels.notion.site/5-min-e-solo-RPG-2bbd72639a984e1ca3ac12d117c0c...

I love this so much! Is it ok if I translate it in Italian? 

I've played this twice now and I really like it! It's such a simple, easy to use system that leaves a lot of room for creativity, and the type of prompts give lends to really good storytelling. It's also just super fun and convenient to pick up and play for a few minutes. 

I actually really enjoy the time constraint and letting it dictate my writing. It adds a sense of urgency and eliminates overthinking and it's just (chef's kiss). Perfect for the adventurer who doesn't always have time or energy to play longer games.

THANK YOU for this game !!! Great and inspiring.

Here's my log (dice: a mage from the seaside / haunted / a pack of rabid beasts / I leave the battle with more strength than before / hunger I have to find diner)

"I was so sure about myself, my capacity to swim, my body, swift and aquatic.

It was such a long time since my last crossing, a foolish errand that costed F's death.

I knew that I would, some day, have to cope with that memory.  And here I am, onto the sand, exhausted.

I had met them, all of them, those from the Sharkhood. And it was all I could do to outswim them.

Swifter, more muscular, they were too damned fit for the ocean. I was only a Sherene, a stupid see mage.

What makes them sick and violent is still unclear to me.  But as soon as I reached the surface, I sang, and they all obeyed.

And here I am now, stronger than ever, all of them my allies.

Are they cured? I don’t think so.

Are they useful?

Let’s check it right away : 'I’m hungry. Starfish would be great'."

Wow. Really cool. I like quick games but before writing I was thinking "5 min... it will be too long." But, as I watched the five minutes go by, I thought "No, I have to write faster!"

So here is the logbook of my sweet druid (with dice results in bold) 

Logbook. Druid from the forest. Amorous.

This helly mage was here. Again. They're still so much powerful. They're now gone but I'm so tired. My body hurts.
They come in the forest each month. I still don't know why.
But I like them. A lot. Maybe too much.
I don't know what to think about these feelings.
Because, I like the way we fight each other.
It's like a battle but... often at a distance. I set traps. They cast spells to detect them.
Most of the time, we don't even meet. We fight across the forest.
But I'm getting older each year.
And it's like they're getting younger, becoming faster and more powerful...
I'm afraid the day will come when I won't be able to fight like this anymore.
I like this kind of battle.
But their magic is affecting me. I like not being alone once a month.
More often, it would be unbearable. Less often, too.
Once a month is perfect. As long as I'm able to continue to

[The danger returns. I can hear them]

Thanks for this cool writing game. 5 minutes is just perfect! I guess this game needs some variants (without conflicts/battle; maybe with some sorts of "daily ordinary quests)

Take care ♥
