This is a short drawing RPG made for the 24-word jam viewed through the eyes of Gondola on his many mundane and awe inspiring adventures as he observes and discovers beautiful and sublime places and things, and forms long lasting memories. 

Gondola is a small bear with no arms. 

Gondola is your inner child.

Gondola is a silent observer.

Gondola does not leave a trace.

Gondola Gondola helps those in need without asking.

Gondola is resourceful in overcoming challenges. 

Gondola keeps going. 


You will need your favorite book, dice, paper and pencil to play 

Essentially, this is a drawing game where you play in rounds of about three steps which you see in the right column. The idea is you take your favorite book, turn to a random page and quickly parse over it to find two random words which will form the basis of what Gondola observes and the challenge he has to overcome, items he discovers, people he might meet, etc. The challenge is overcome by beating its threshold value which is either hard or easy, 6 pts and 3 pts respectively. Using a combination of skills and items Gondola possess, which is up to you at the start or accumulated via previous rounds. For example, if you have a strong nimble Gondo, you might put athletics as a skill and have 2 points, which means you get to roll 2d6, add them up and check to see if it fails, meets, or exceeds the threshold of whatever you're checking to do. If your Gondola possesses a grappling hook, add another 1d6 to that calculation, and so on. Then at the end of this round once you've come up with enough of a complex scenario, Gondola forms a memory which basically translates to you drawing whatever happens. Then you repeat as many times as you like.

This is meant to help improv and coming up with ideas for pictures from imagination, so have fun with it!
