About this title

Synopsis

Join the crew and sharpen your role-play skills with this all-new card game of open-ended questions to create an unforgettable story in just thirty minutes from popular podcaster and Ultimate RPG series author James D’Amato.

Oh Captain, My Captain! is a short form worldbuilding role-playing game (RPG) that explores heroism and the complicated relationships we have with people we admire. It’s approachable for players who have never tried an RPG before and satisfying for players who have been gaming for years. It’s also compact enough to tell unforgettable stories in just thirty minutes.

The game revolves around players drawing from a deck of cards with open-ended questions. Each question players answer helps them learn about their character, their world, their captain, and the complicated relationship they have with a living legend. Players use these answers to make connections between their stories leading up one of three final questions that end the game. Groups can change their final question based on the tone they desire for their experience.

The open-ended nature of the game allows players to explore any genre or story they can imagine, from a swashbuckling pirate adventure to a space opera with the starship crew, or the adventures of a high school football team or even a team of superheroes! No matter what story you want to tell, Oh Captain, My Captain! helps you create an exciting adventure to entertain your whole game group.
