Back in December, I mentioned a little Kickstarter by the name of Korg, which was a TTRPG that you could play by yourself/fit in your wallet.
Well, guess what just came in the mail, reader!
Like I mentioned in the article, Korg is a very barebones TTRPG experience. Your quest is simple: you’re an adventurer with 20HP that can retire once you obtain 50GP. And like other forms of art agonizingly imitating life, retirement might just as well be a pipe dream.
Using Korg’s two plastic cards, you pick from four dungeons, roll a D6, and try to defeat whatever threat attributed to the number you roll up.
Or, you know, die trying. Which I did in the handful of rounds I played. And yeah, Korg can be a pretty quick TTRPG experience, especially if your dice app hates you. (Also, use a dice app if you’re on the go.)
But while having about as much narrative as a nutrition label, I can’t say that Korg isn’t a fun way to pass the time. Yes, stuff is left up to chance, but you also need to balance buying items verses risking losing items/not building up your retirement fund.
And again, the idea of playing a TTRPG by yourself is as interesting as playing one without a DM.
Oh, speaking of…
(Missed the Kickstarter? You can also buy Korg here!)
