Hit Point

You and your fellow adventurers barely survived your last venture into a dangerous ruin, deep in the wilderness. Now, packed with treasures and severely wounded, you have almost reached civilized lands. You see the kobolds too late. Scrawny little creatures, armed with nothing but rusty daggers; but dangerous nonetheless, in your current state. They attack on sight and one stabs you in the shoulder. You lose 1 hp...

Hit Point is a GM-less micro-rpg that let's you and a group of friends explore the emotional impact of the most simple stat change imaginable in a fantasy roleplaying game: the loss of a single point of hp.

Instead of steaming ahead with a focus on the tactics of combat, this short storygame invites you to slow down time and put the spotlight on the inner world of the character that was hit, in the split-seconds after it happens.

Two pages of game text, half an hour of play, a couple of seconds in the fiction.
