​

"You wake on the shore of a river. Try as you might you can't remember anything but your name. At least you aren't the only one, there are others that washed up on the same shore. As you and your new companions venture into the forest beyond, some of your memories begin to return to you. Small memories at first but everything becomes more clear as you continue on. Will you embrace these memories and who you once were, or will you reject them in favor of who you have become?"

Lethe (pronounced “liːθi:” or “Lee-Thee”) is a TTRPG for 1-6 players and 1 GM that poses this question to its players. The characters are a group of individuals in an odd and dreamlike world. They wake up on the shore of a river knowing only their name and are tasked with finding who they used to be and how much of that person they want to be going forward. Unlike most systems, the GM creates the character backstories and their stats, skills, and abilities.
