Twisted Roots

A role-playing game where your personality is your class!

“Prove thyself worthy by navigating twisted and tangled roots and ye shall inherit mine kingdom. Should'st thee stumble and fail thou shall sow its ruin.”

The current Monarch of The Kingdom of Twisted Roots is dying. With no obvious heir, the Dying Monarch (DM) is in search of a worthy successor. But who has what it takes to become the Destined Monarch?

Together Candidates must navigate a series of increasingly critical and difficult Royal Crises within the Kingdom, delegated to them by the DM. They must use their Traits, wit and creativity to succeed whilst completing their own Secret Goals to prove themselves the superior choice as the next Monarch.

Twisted Roots is a rules-loose TableTop Role Play game that encourages improvisation and collaborative Storytelling between Players and DM, with role-play-centric mechanics.

The Game has a cyclical nature allowing for immediate replayability as the Destined DM becomes the new Dying Monarch, allowing the story of the Kingdom of Twisted Roots’ generations to continue, with new Candidates and a new Crisis to overcome.

Twisted Roots was made during the 2023 Global Game Jam.
