An open-source tabletop exercise game system by The Long Game Project

InsightRPG

The rules for running your own exercises

A role-playing game system designed for one purpose: helping teams practise thinking under pressure.

Players create characters, respond to unfolding crises, and make decisions with incomplete information. The game is the vehicle; the insight comes from the discussion.

The system is built on the foundations of DnD and other TTRPGs, stripped down. 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.
