I decided to try to get this done.
"Yes, But..." will be universal comedy GM-less rule system. “Yes, But…” is a game about succeeding while failing spectacularly. It is best played with four or more players with a twisted sense of humor.
You’ll get a free setting, set in A Very Large Cave, and can come up with others by yourself. You’ll find some setting ideas by the end of the booklet.
How does it work and what’s different?
In many RPGs, a character is defined by his or her strengths. Players try to do something, roll and see if they succeed. In “Yes, But…” characters are defined by their weaknesses. Yes, you always succeed at your attempted action somehow, but the amount of hilarious fallout and weird consequences depends on your ineptitude at given task.
Races to play:
