Wordroot

Instead of rolling dice, describe an action in words. The number of letters in those words determine an outcome pulled from a simple table. Interpret that result as fiction.

The system doesn't attempt to simulate actions. Rather, it exists to surprise you, create complications, and provide storytelling prompts.

Setting and genre-agnostic, Wordroot is particularly suited to solo RPGs, journaling games, writing exercises, and exploring worlds and characters.
