World of Norphorda

A cozy roleplaying game with solo players and beginners in mind.

Introduction

Explore the big world of Norphorda, the one where three big red moons are lighting up the night sky, where things are just very different from our own world. This is a world where you can build your own cozy home, go for adventures and explore. The game is customizable enough but still has guidelines so you don't feel lost!

 Yes, I call it "guidelines" and not "rules" since YOU can modify it to work for you, and this is a beginner-friendly game so you don't have to worry if you are "doing it right" since this game is all about having fun and... yeah I think you get the deal!

How to play

This game takes place in northern Norphorda and you're waking up after sleeping for a while. Where did you wake up? Why are you where you are? Why did you sleep for so long? Let the prompts and two common d6 dice guide you on your journey.

Explore the forest nearby. What do you find in between the trees that guide you further on your journey?

Find a place to build your home. Or perhaps you'll find a home ready to be yours? Is someone out there who wants to trade their home for something special you have?

Who are the mystical creatures who are hiding in the old ruins? And beyond the little village of fishermen? Why are some beings dancing in a... cemetery?! Find friends and even enemies within the game.

Before you can start your journey though, you will build a character. Don't worry, it's not very complicated. You will have character sheets that prompt you with the creation process and they're easy to use.

You will also choose 2-3 NPCs (secondary characters) that you will connect with and who live alongside you in Norphorda. Remember that this is meant as a solo RPG, but if you prefer multi-play or co-op you can just skip these NPCs, or maybe your GM (game master) will create NPCs you can use within this game. There are example NPCs to choose from, to make this easier.

Demo

The demo for this game is calculated to be ready at the beginning of 2024. I'm just working on this game alongside many other projects and I'm also in University so it takes its time. You can follow the process on this page and on the link to the guidebook above.
