Description
HB&P is an old-school RPG game that uses an 80s/90s style of design and concept. Your decisions will determine the ending of each adventure you take. Every story has different and random components, what it means that the stories will vary from game to game.
Even though HB&P is an 80s/90s style game, we have taken the liberty of saving you from having to read the boring endless story paragraphs.
The Game
Here is how we begin. You, the player, will generate a character from a series of available classes which enters a medieval fantasy world. There are 8 different classes to choose from: Warrior, Wizard, Rogue, Bard, Necromancer, Priest, Hunter and Assassin.
This world is made up of stories. These stories are completely replayable, since they are based on player's decisions, their character, their skills and items. To add to this, all the stories have a procedural component that generates new options, different places, encounters, characters, traps, combats or random loot, even if you replay the same story with the same character! Some stories may also change their storyline each time you play them again, and making different choices and decisions will lead you to different endings in each game. You will not play two identical adventures.
Two game modes
You will be able to enjoy two game modes: Free play and Campaign.
In the Free mode, the adventures can be completed in the order you chose, and each time you play one of them you can choose between 6 different difficulty modes. You can adjust the difficulty of the game to your liking individually for each adventure. In campaign mode you will have to overcome 5 randomly generated stories in the given order with increasing difficulty. Failing a single story will end your campaign!
Progression
The character will earn experience points and be able to level up, so in the next adventure your character will be stronger. There is no proper level system and your character will improve the characteristics that you want, to the limit that you desire. This will allow you to configure your character as you wish. For example, it is possible to get a Warrior-Wizard if you manage to obtain enough value in a certain characteristic, and you find the appropriate spells or items.
Open to suggestions
Although there is a road map, this game is open to any suggestions from the players and the community in hopes of making improvements wherever needed.
HEROES OF BOOK & PAPER is a game for those who once enjoyed reading gamebooks and still let their imagination run wild.
