Unfamiliar Ground

Anything but Not Human...

In the vastness of the multiverse life could come in many different shapes and the worlds hosting it are problaby nothing like our Earth. In short, things out here are anything, but Not Human. 

Unfamiliar Ground, but not unimaginable

In this collaborative worldbuilding TTRPG, explore as a group of humans (a.k.a. players) the depths of potentially, well actually very, different worlds and the lives these places might spawn. Create them based onguiding questions and some roll tables, or just make facts up as you go. Only rule: They can be anything but Not Human. Once happy with the world and its inhabitant(s), establish some First Contact with another world, may it be future humans or from one you created earlier. Play out a little scene and enjoy the fragility and obsurdity of worlds colliding in this diplomatic dance. 

To play this simple One-Page worldbuilding TTRPG you just need some fellow humans, some index cards or pieces of paper, pens and one six-sided dice (1D6). Plus some human imagination and some linear time (humans love that stuff).
