Reunion (TTRPG)

A game about tired adventurers learning to carry on.

The dragon is defeated, the relic is recovered, the heroes are home!

But retiring from a life of danger and excitement isn't easy. Saving the world from the forces of evil doesn't exactly prepare you for saving your roof from the forces of improperly assembled guttering.

Even though adventures come to an end, the adventuring party is eternal... right?

Introduction

Reunion is a Tabletop Role-Playing Game for two or more players about the happily-ever-after of a adventuring party's campaign. You play as old friends and adventuring companions who have since gone their separate ways, as you try to keep up with each other's lives and muddle through your own.

Using inspiring card-based prompts and a GMless storytelling system, you'll watch your friends grow, and grow apart, all while trying to cling to the shared past that holds you together. For anyone who has ever watched a campaign come to an end, and wished that they could live in that fictional world for just a little while longer... Reunion promises to let you try. 

So call up a friend or two, sit them down with a drink and a deck of cards... and play together, for old times' sake.
