Description

From publisher blurb:

From publisher blurb:

The comic book role-playing game that replaces dice rolls with doodles!

Draw your heroic feats... BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!

Play is fast and frenetic. Players act simultaneously! Lay down your panels, create comic book pages and let the Editor (Games Master) decide from your drawings what happens next.

How Does It Work?

Actions of any form that have dramatic consequences are created through rapidly made doodles. If you want to take mulitple actions, you can, you just need to draw them in time. 1 minute is the typical drawing time, so artistic skill is not required and rarely possible. This is a game of visual communication, not artistic skill.

Risk comes in the form of running out of drawing time, panels that conflict with other players and change the context of the story and the intention of your actions, and the fact that what happens is decreed by how the Editor interprets your doodles, with limited clues.

The game is fast play (all players create their actions at the same time, the only waiting is for the Editor to interpret everyone's panels), has minimal maths and characters can be made in 5 minutes.
