You are cursed.

Anyone who reads this must play this game or bad things will happen. Trust me because, I didn’t finish playing, and IF YOU’RE READING THIS I’M DEAD!

This is a Legacy Solo Tabletop Roleplaying / Journaling Game about someone (YOU) who has been cursed to play a game with a mysterious Entity.

Solo Journalling - Record Your Tale

In Don't Play This Game you will encounter events. This events may seem mundane, or be horrendously cursed - it is all part of the Entities game.

Record these events. Write down what happens to you. To your friends. To your possessions. Record in your journal your story and your descent.

Crafting - Make Real World Artifacts

In Don't Play This Game we want this to feel real. If you encounter an evil icon in the game - go and make it. If you witness an event, paint it.

Go and take photos of the haunting locations the events occur in or record soundscapes of the areas you visit in your tale.

Create a scrapbook that can be like no other.

Legacy - Pass On Your Curse

Once your time us up and the Entity has won, take your scrapbook and find another unfortunate soul to gift it to.

This person now carries the curse. They can examine your scrapbook, learn your story, and pick up where the journey ends.

Or if you are feeling particularly cursed, you can take on another role and carry the story on yourself in a new guise.

How to Play

DON'T PLAY THIS GAME

The game is simple - when you begin playing, a strange Event will happen to you. You record it in your journal. What happened? How’d it make you feel? What effect did it have on you?

Sometimes words, sometimes photos, painting, artifacts, voice notes - whatever the Entity asks. Once an Event is completed the Entity will select another.

This repeats and your story unfolds until either you complete the game and are free. Or you lose.

When you have lost your story is over. But the legacy is not. Pass your journal and artifacts to another player who will become cursed, and pick up the story from where you failed.
