Feathered Adventures w/PDF

Feathered Adventures is a diceless tabletop RPG in which you play anthropomorphic birds going on pulp adventures, trying to overcome their flaws to come out on top.

It can be played with or without a GM and requires 3 to 6 players, for short one-shots (1 to 2 hours) requiring very little preparation or slightly longer campaigns.

You'll like this game if you enjoy adventures mixing humor and action, good-humored drama and over the top stories!

Feathered Adventures is diceless and keeps things very simple!

Characters are defined by answering a series of queries about them (for instance, what do they do when they get angry, or who is their best friend outside of the brood). They also each have a specific mechanic to ensure them a total success in their actions: for example, the rich but good-hearted character only fully succeeds in doing something if they sacrifice something costly to do so; otherwise, they can only succeed with a complication, or fail.

On top of this, each adventure type has its own progression rule, which ensures that each type of adventure feels differently both narratively and in terms of rhythm.

Apart from these two mechanical details, the rest of the game is almost entirely concerned with freeform narration!
