The tavern, finally somewhere safe back in the civilised world. The raucous crowd sing along to a familiar tune and ale flows like water. This feels right. Then, you see her. The most enchanting creature your eyes have ever beheld. She smiles at you, and resumes chatting to a soldier. When you retire to your bed, you are surprised, but not disappointed, when she slips through your door and locks it behind her.

How to Play CaliaQuest

To play, all you need is a D20 die, physical or digital, and a pen and paper, or digital notepad or app. This is a classic tabletop roleplaying game, so if you’re familiar with Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder, you’ll find it simple to follow.

If not, the game works by giving you challenges to pass with die rolls several times in each chapter. When prompted, you’ll roll a D20 – a 20-sided die, and the result will determine your outcome, and where you travel next.

You start with 10 WP, that’s willpower or will points. Lose them all, and you lose your mind to whatever devious and dangerous hypnotic creature you’re facing. Make it to the end, and you’ll be rewarded. Fail, and you can try again, maybe finding a different path this time!

You’ll need that pen and paper to keep track of them, and the D20 to make checks as you’re accosted by monstrous creatures!

There are six chapters in total, including the one on this page, and with many branching paths, it will take multiple playthroughs to see everything the game has to offer!
