Beholden

This is a game about harsh mistreatment of a man chasing his dream.

What “Beholden” is:

- A diceless solo RPG.

- An entry in the April 2011 Ronnies, using the terms “chains” and “queen”.

- A (_____) of Ben Lehman’s game “Beloved”. Choose your preferred term from the list: recontextualization; inversion; retelling; pastiche; critique.  The draft of Beloved that Beholden is based on can be found here: http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forge/index.php?topic1271.0

- A direct response to Beloved, and a dialogue starter.

What it is not:

- Original.  I wrote it, but it would not exist without Ben’s game.

- An “expansion” or “mod”.  Beholden is fully self-contained.

- A challenge to the value of the source game.
