Tank Wars

You’re the Hypertanks, a team of war machines imprinted with copies of human minds, and heroes of the Human Arachnoid War.

You are part of a parade celebrating the War’s end. Everything is going well, until ominous shapes form in the sky…

Tonally, this will be like an early 90s arcade shooter meets action-adventure cartoon.

Is it a Plane!? is an RPG that replaces dice rolls with rapid doodles in limited time! Whenever you do something that would normally require getting some dice out, you instead must doodle what you are attempting to do. Nobody has the time for artistic skill, so stick figures are all you need. And although you cannot tell the Editor (GM) exactly what you’ve drawn, you can point out any stats you are using from your character sheet, and indicate any elements of a scene that have already been described as clues to help them interpret your panels.

Multiple players can doodle at the same time, and work together placing Panels (laminated pieces of card) onto two pages to create overlapping scenes. Panels vary in size and Power, and based on the Editor’s interpretations, the Power is distributed to either weaken or strengthen the Situations you face, create or remove Situations, and increase or reduce Pressure that you face.

You will also need a valid UKGE Entry ticket to attend this event.
