WIELD
A downloadable game
WIELD is a micro-TTRPG about being a sentient magical item that is built for one person in a larger group. Someone playing a WIELD is playing a game within a game, meant to be simple enough to learn in a minute and yet compatible with a group of people playing any sort of fantastic pen-and-paper roleplaying game. The WIELD interacts with their WIELDER and the world they are playing in purely through roleplay, but confer mechanical bonuses to their WIELDER that should easily translate to any of the most popular systems.
I came up with WIELD in order to fill a niche that seems to pop up quite frequently when you're running games with friends; someone has heard about how much fun their friends are having, and is interested in sitting in on a game, but they don't have any experience and the game has already progressed to the point where jumping in would be *extra* confusing. WIELD is for those people, which is why I call it a Guest-Star Game.
The game includes the basic rules and three classes of WIELD (The Sharp, the Blunt, and the Charming), so print it out in it's entire, four-page glory and hand it to anyone curious about what you get up to at night. Grab it for free, and if they have a good time, grab it again and throw me a couple bucks. Happy hammering!
