It can be played in any genre and even adapted to use characters from an existing campaign—it's a great way to zoom in on a tense, pre-battle scene from a game in another system. Inspired by competitive fencing, each round players choose in secret to thrust, feint, or parry. The moves are arranged in a rock-paper-scissors triangle, where thrust beats feint, feint beats parry, and parry beats thrust, scoring one point for the victor. These moves do not, however, translate to the bloody jabs of a sword. Instead, they help structure the narration that follows: thrusts resolve to vicious insults or imperious gestures, feints into provocative bait that incites opponents into emotional vulnerability, while parries resolve as cunning repartees. When one player reaches 9 points, their opponent is defeated, and the loser is forced—in a shameful outburst of emotion—to use their weapon and strike the blow that begins the ensuing battle!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorytelling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanical victory provides inspiration and structure for the narration that follows.

Together, all of the players will come up with a broad setting, and then define the settlement that their characters are living in and working to help grow. Then, each player privately creates other locations in the world using the holy grail of indie tabletop RPG tech, the blank notecard. These are then shuffled and spread out face down on the table as a map of unknown locations for the players to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the world build, each player creates a character. Characters in No Stone Unturned are made up of stats, moods, skills, and sentiments. Each of these get everyone on the table on the same page as to who each character is, what they're good at doing, and what they care about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the game plays out in a cycle of adventure and downtime. On adventures, you'll be exploring the locations on the map you've built out. These locations are full of other burgeoning societies, wildlife, and unstable ecosystems. Any careless move can have drastic impacts on what already lives in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt any point on the adventure, a character might perform an action that endangers them or the world around them. That's when you roll dice and bring in those stats, moods, and sentiments that you built in character creation to determine the outcome and add details to the world around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn downtime, the players reckon with the consequences of their adventure and try to make use of whatever they found by addressing their wounds, making plans to repair any collateral damage they did to the world, and taking time to reflect on how they are feeling.
