Chrono Illogical

Chrono Illogical is an 18 card, tabletop roleplaying game about unwilling time travelers, sent to a random time to fix a problem they know nothing about, and trying not to mess up the time line further before they can return home. The game requires 1 to 5 players that takes about 1-2 hours. The game is GM-less and requires the players to build a communal narrative through imagination, role playing, answering card prompts, and dice rolling. Each player will need a set of 7 polyhedral dice, a character sheet, and a pencil.

---GAME SUMMARY---

Far in the ruined future, desperate scientists searched for a way to fix their ruined civilization. They discovered an imperfect form of time travel. Points in the past could be identified as instances in the timeline that had become corrupted. The problem was they could not send one of their own. Scientists could only send random individuals from the past in an attempt to uncover and fix the problem. This process of sending unknown travelers to solve a problem they know nothing about in an unfamiliar time became known as Chrono Illogical. The risks are high but this process was the only hope to save the future and restore the past.

---WHY YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD AND PLAY---

If you are a person who likes weird, interesting, and unique TTRPGs,  then you will enjoy Chrono Illogical. The mechanics use a twist on the Powered by the Apocalypse where the 7-9 result on your 2d6 is the perfect result. Roll too low and you start to reveal that you are from a different time. Roll too high and you raise suspicions potentially endangering the time line. Every time and city you travel to is a unique arrangement of 18 cards that have prompts for your character to engage with. With a modular map, there are innumerable places for your travelers to explore.  The arrangement of the prompts and the variety of travelers you can make will provide you will countless misadventures through time. 

If you want to support an indie TTRPG designer who makes small games, then I am grateful. To make bigger games with more art takes support.

---SPECIAL THANKS---

I'd like to thank ButtonShy for providing the 18 card ttrpg contest that I originally designed this for. This game did not win but made the top 10. Regardless, I had so much fun making this game and thought y'all should be able to play it too. If you are a board, card, ttrpg designer, keep an eye out for their contests because they are always interesting prompts in game design. Limitations can truly breed creativity and I feel like Chrono Illogical is a great example of that.
