Torn

You are dead… but you do not know it yet. You wake up with no memory of who you were. Artifacts and documents will help you will learn who you were. Then you will tear yourself apart to learn what happened to you.  

Torn is a rules light table top role playing system rooted heavily in media, character development, and narrative improvisation. Players learn the system while playing, for a seamless experience of mystery and unease. Artifacts are used to construct memories, learn who they were, how they died, and what comes next. 

A PDF rulebook on how to run a Torn game includes two pre-made one-shot scenarios. The Lighthouse finds players discovering how they died while grappling with parasitical  mushrooms, shipwrecks, and seagulls. In The University players uncover an unholy pact, ghost trappers, demonic cats, and the university's notorious multi-CULTural day. Over 80 printable artifacts are included in the PDF along with instructions on printing the media for gameplay.
