Paris Gondo - The Life-Saving Magic of Inventorying (Text-Only Edition) by Kalum from The Rolistes Podcast

"Let's Hire a Graphic Designer" 50% sale​

Purchase NOW, at a reduced price, the text-only very first edition for "Paris Gondo - The Life-Saving Magic" and help me HIRE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

This text-only release is a work-in-progress but it already contains everything you need to spark joy through the SIX STEPS of the play-based GonParis Method.

The sales from this edition will go towards hiring a professional graphic designer to make more legible and visually pleasing versions of the Rule Book, the Play-Aids and Card Decks.

A Simple Effective Play-Based Method To Banish Encumbrance Forever​

This game is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to encumbrance rules and other tropes found in beloved dungeon-crawling games.

It is a GM-less storytelling game for 3 to 6 players, designed to be played in a few hours with polyhedral dice and no preparation.

Players in this game embody Adventurers who, as a group called a Party, have reached the last level of a Dungeon and defeated the Boss who presided over it. Play starts as Adventurers discover Loot you create. The objects you decide your Adventurer carries home makes up what you pack as their Final Inventory.

If Adventurers hold on to possessions that spark joy, they might feel invigorated and satisfied for the rest of their existence, or at least until their next adventure. But letting go of less emotionally charged but useful Belongings might prove to be a deadly mistake for the Party on their Journey Home.

Thanks to the many enthusiasts who already purchased "Paris Gondo - The Life-Saving Magic of Inventorying (Text-Only Edition)", we have reached our crowdfunding goal towards hiring a professional graphic designer!

Meet Our Graphic Designer!​

Francita Soto is a freelance graphic designer from Chile who loves the color pink.

She has extensive experience working on Indie Tabletop Roleplaying Games.

In addition to our project, she is currently working on "Tension: A Queer Cat and Mouse Romp", "Brinkwood: The Blood of Tyrants" and "Red Rook Revolt!"

To find out more about her work, I recommend to check her website as well as "Visual Crit Show", her podcast (in Spanish) about visuals arts and tabletop roleplaying.

Do Not Wait to Get Your Copy of the GonParis Method​

An improved version is on the way BUT do not hesitate to purchase a copy of the current "Paris Gondo - The Life-Saving Magic of Inventorying (Text-Only Edition)"!

As a reminder, the cost of this edition will be deducted from future purchases of the improved one designed by Francita which will feature cover art by Bodie Hartley (and probably more).

Actually, any additional purchase will help us make this new version happen sooner.

Cheers

Kalum
