A role-playing game system built to help teams practise thinking under pressure.
Players create characters, respond to unfolding crises, and make decisions with incomplete information. The insight comes from the discussion.
The system is a stripped-down version of D&D and other TTRPGs. If you've played D&D, you'll recognise the bones. If you haven't, you can learn the entire system in ten minutes. It scales from a quick lunchtime exercise to a full-day strategic simulation.
The Long Game Project's facilitated client exercises run on this system, including two conference games delivered for ALLFED.
