Summary

Wordroot is a solo, dice-less storytelling system where written language becomes the randomizer.

Full Description

Instead of rolling dice, describe an action in words. The number of letters in those words determine an outcome pulled from a simple table. Interpret that result as fiction.

The system doesn't attempt to simulate actions. Rather, it exists to surprise you, create complications, and provide storytelling prompts.

Setting and genre-agnostic, Wordroot is particularly suited to solo RPGs, journaling games, writing exercises, and exploring worlds and characters.
