Important role‘S Marisha Ray and Honey Heist Creator Grant Howitt has collaborated with Free RPG Day to create a new one-page board role-playing game. Title A familiar problemLight games will be available at friendly local game store on June 25th. The premiere will have a session with RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Heidy N Closet, and aired on June 23.
Free RPG Day is an international event held annually to celebrate TTRPGs. The aim is to bring new and old players together to explore different games and strengthen their communities. Smaller games and quick-start demos of larger modules are common, but Howitt’s involvement here is notable. His Honey Heist is one of the most popular – and most viral – single-page games ever created. The Team in Critical Roles is already running Honey Heist through three different videos in 2017, further pushing this gem into the mainstream of the TTRPG hobby.
According to Thursday’s news, A familiar problem puts the player in the role of familiar “thin and stressed” people – the companions of sentient animals, the magic of sorcerers – trying to keep up with a group of adventurers.
To promote Free RPG Day, Crucial Role will air a premiere on June 23. Adventure, titled A Familiar Issue: Sprinkle’s Incredible Journey!will be set in the world of Exandria. Joining Heidi at the table will be Critical Role founders Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer and Travis Willingham as well as Dimension 20Isabella Roland. Marisha Ray will act as the game controller.
A Familiar Issue: Sprinkle’s Incredible Journey! go live at 7pm PDT on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTubewith video-on-demand versions and podcasts to follow.
