A downloadable rpg

You have just died but you don't know it yet all you remember is stumbling upon this bar out of nowhere. Inside the Bartender strikes up a conversation with you. He invites you to play a little game, He will try to guess what kind of person you are all you have to do is agree or disagree with him by expounding on what he says or by 
refuting what the bartender says.

The bartender will try to gauge and see if you had a good life from the time you were born until the time of your death. At the end of the game, the Bartender will give you a drink, what that drink is though depends on what the bartender thinks, whether he thinks you deserve another life, deserve to go back and fix your life , deserve to eternally rest, or deserves to be punished.



Wayward barkeep is my attempt on making a simple RPG about listening and player agency. This game heavily relies on the players agency with the help of the GM.

Mechanically this is a game about Listening and Empathy. Currently as some parts of the Visitors memory are blurred or hard to remember it is up to the Bartender to help the Visitor remember what his/her past may be. It explores the idea 

On the other side of the coin, it also the duty of the Bartender to judge what the visitor receives, he acts as the Gate keeper to the next life.

It teaches the players to unroot an idea of a person whichever time, place, dimension they may come from, with the help from another person without compromising the person the player has in mind.

[Currently Development is in progress will upload the first draft of the pdf soon!]
