Hey there! I've been developing the GUTS+ RPG system for a while now, and I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in trying it out here!

This is a general "escape the room" scenario that has the potential to open up into a larger adventure if you want to keep playing with your characters. It involves portals and future tech and things that I don't really want to get too deep into in case someone is interested in playing! The hook line is as follows:

You awaken in a pitch black room. You feel a wall against your back and a dull pain on the back of your head. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, all you are able to see is a single pinprick of light off to your right.


All the rules and everything you need to play are available for free here: guts.plus/rules/players-handbook

I'm also willing to answer any questions you have about the scenario and the GUTS+ system itself, so if you're at all interested, please feel free to ask away!

Looks pretty straightforward, I'll bite!

I'm assuming we start off in a modern setting?

Awesome! Yeah, it's a modern setting to start off, and there's no real restriction on character creation, either, other than "human".

@Mae I'm not sure if we're gonna get another person. Would you mind starting by yourself? Or would you want to try waiting a little bit longer?

@anyone else reading this, If you're interested, let me know!

@Alamantus I don't mind starting by myself, however I might need a few days as I'm launching a project and a 1x1 right now. Shall we wait a coulple of days and then jump in?

You could also try popping up a thread in the General Interest check section to rustle up a few more players, but I'm happy either way.

@Mae Cool, if you don't mind waiting, then I don't mind giving it more time!

That's a good idea, too, I'll throw a post in there!

Haven't heard of the GUTS+ system before, but I'd be interested in trying it out, if you'll have me.

@Vertigo I haven't advertised it very far outside my very small internet ring yet, so I wouldn't expect anyone to have heard of it yet. But I'm glad you're interested, and I'd love to have you!

We'll probably start in a couple more days (Sunday maybe?) because @Mae has something they're working on right now.

@Alamantus Are the pool of 3 quality points only to be used on the standard qualities (gumption, slyness ect) or are they to be split between all our starting qualities?

For those interested my character's a peppy, upbeat wannabe photographer with the custom qualities: Perceptiveness, Charm and Showmanship.

@Alamantus @Mae If you're still taking people, I'd be interested in playing a female, all-around nice girl from a small town.

Ohh, it's a system of your own making? Sorry, I missed that part-- sort of new to Tabletop still, so I thought it was a well-known thing and I was just out of the loop, haha.

That's pretty cool, I'm even more excited to test it out!

Not entirely sure what I plan to play yet. I'm tempted to adapt a character I didn't get to play much in regular RP into the format, though he's high school aged, so not sure if he's too young. Might come up with someone older instead - or age him up. Ah, choices.

Yeah, they can be split among all of your starting qualities. You'll just have more low-level qualities if you split it too far :)

@rush99999 and @Dusksong yep! But I won't be able to take more people after you two.

@Vertigo yep! It’s my own system I've been developing for a while. Glad you're still interested in trying it out! :D High school might be a little young, but it would still be ok if you didn't want to age him up. :)

@all I know I said I'd start Sunday (today), but I suddenly had a thing to do all day, so I'm gonna start tomorrow instead! Sorry about that!
