FAST DRAW, the roleplaying initiation engine

ADD TO WISHLIST >

+----------------- Welcome to FAST DRAW, the free demo of our initiation engine project. -----------------+

Our goal is to present a strong, working, open, initiation-minded, newbie players-oriented roleplaying game.

An initiation game where the active play starts after FIVE MINUTES.

Five REAL minutes to be roleplaying for real. Not twenty.

Without using pre-generated characters or loads of archetypes to choose from.

But including both rules explanations and character creation.

FIVE MINUTES to turn a newbie into a roleplayer.

Yes. THAT quick.

Because we all know the very first contact with TT RPG can become a time-taking dramatic fumble:

- Already wanted to give someone a roleplaying initiation on a 5-minutes notice instead of a half-hour?

- Ever dreamt of being able to answer to someone who expressed an interest in our hobby by a "Cool, do you have 300 secondes?" instead of a "Cool, just let me check the character creation system in the 400-page rulebook".

- Thought about turning hordes of disbelievers into avid roleplayers instead of having them walk away in fear?

- Already hoped that the pre-generated characters you brought could satisfy players tastes?

Here's our answer to these questions.

We wanted an initiation roleplaying system especially designed for that friend who says: "Oh I love this serie/manga/comic/movie/book so much. If only I could find a way to live these stories better." 

Not another new game to take players out of your favorite game systems. But instead a real engine to show newbies that roleplaying is not that difficult and that hundreds of pages of rules are not mandatory.

What was our plan?

After we wrote CARTOMANCY RPG, several persons asked us to create a kinda "roleplaying boardgame". They meant a roleplaying system which brevity of rules and clarity of character design could allow IMMEDIATE PLAY. Something akin to starting to roleplay 3 or 4 minutes only after someone expressed an interest into our hobbby.

Our solution was not to erase the initiation session problems by using pre-rolled characters, by choosing between three dozens archetypes, or by lying and stating that "once you're accustomed to it, the character generation takes less than a half-hour".

To achieve this purpose, we kept the clever tricks we designed into CARTOMANCY (btw, check the free demo to get your own opinion), we've thrown away the unnecessary burden (which amounts to a few side-rules) and we naturally ended up with a dream becomed true:

A game which allows a roleplaying start in nothing more than FIVE MINUTES of real human time (no kidding).

All in a 8-page free demo.

Enjoy Y'all!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
