This is the first TTRPG independently published by Eric Oakland. Launching on Kickstarter February 1st during ZineQuest, this project aims to create the fastest way to spark the love of role play in the next generation.

Imagine Anything, Play Anywhere.

Let’s go to Roomino! TTRPG takes players to an infinite labyrinth of finite spaces. With bottomless backpacks and magic shape-changing gum, they zoom through room-after-room to explore fantastical places, find magic power badges, befriend whimsical creatures, and gather tons of imaginary treats. 

Explore ROOMS is a rules-lite TTRPG for when players can’t gather at, or sit still at, a gaming table. Play while on a walk, at the pool, in a hammock, and before bed. Each session starts fresh with only what players can remember, so there’s no bookkeeping, or preparation, and common tools like dice or paper are opt-in and can be swapped for rock-paper-scissors or energetic actions.

Tess (8), “You should try it out…” June (6), “CUZ IT’S FUN! Even though I said I wasn’t going to play.”
Anywhere we found boredom, Explore ROOMS were there to entertain and delight my kids.
