versus:Colossus

 When the Threat reached earth, we weren’t ready. How could we ever be ready for something like that? Ready or not, my friends and I did our best to fight it off. And we did pretty well for first-timers, if I say so myself. But that was just a taste of the violence to come. It’s just us versus the end of the world. No one else can stop the attack. No one else even knows it’s happening.

Versus:Colossus is a tabletop RPG inspired by shows like Planet With and SSSS.Gridman. It can be used to tell any kind of story involving repeated, escalating attacks by a threat which can only be stopped by the heroes and their special transformations (battle armor, magical girl outfits, ghost forms, etc.).

Our playtesting sessions took about 2 hours each, and we expect the ongoing campaign to last around 10-12 sessions total, modeling a season of anime.

The gameplay is inspired by Dungeon World and Fate Accelerated Edition.

Versus:Colossus was designed by Michael Stroud for The Last RPG Jam.
