Sprig : The Midsummer Festival TTRPG
A downloadable game
Welcome to the Midsummer Festival! Welcome to Sprig!
Be whisked away into a realm of enchantment and whimsy in Sprig: The Midsummer Festival! Inspired by the timeless charm of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," this game invites players to immerse themselves in a magical festival organized by none other than the mischievous Puck.
As the sun sets on a midsummer's eve, players will find themselves in a mystical forest teeming with fairies, sprites, and all manner of fantastical creatures. The game's core revolves around the festival, a playground of dreams where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Here, you'll interact with beloved characters from the play, engage in delightful mini-games, and unravel a story of love, magic, and revelry.
The festival is Puck's masterpiece, a space where the lines between reality and illusion blur. Players will navigate through a series of challenges and puzzles, each designed to test their wit and willingness to embrace the unexpected. With a blend of strategy and chance, every decision you make influences the unfolding narrative, leading to multiple endings as unpredictable as Puck's own caprices.
This game is not just an exploration of Shakespeare's vision but a celebration of the joy and chaos of festivals. It's an invitation to dance under the moonlight, to forge alliances with woodland spirits, and to lose oneself in the sheer delight of play. Whether you're a bard at heart or a gamer in spirit, this game promises an experience that's as enchanting as the midsummer night itself.
The System
The system is a simple D6 system with mechanics for rerolling dice when it utilizes one of your Fey abilities. There are a handful of minigames that can be played narrative or with the D6 mechanics included and a variety of locations to explore during Sprig.
Last Mentions
There is a print friendly version included and encouraged to download, print out, or provide to others you play with.
This was a short exercise in design and execution of an idea. I do not have major planes to expand on this much more but it's a possibility. There are more through a handful of other Plays (Games) I'd prefer to showcase in some manner but it doesn't mean that there won't be another Act to this one on the horizon.
This game is also pay what you want. Sharing this to your friends, family, and otherwise for free is encouraged. May your Sprig be fruitful, joyous, and unwaveringly delightful.
