      <p>
        <b>musi supa pona</b> <i>(toki pona for "simple table game")</i> is a simplistic tabletop
        role playing game (TTRPG) inspired by 5th edition Dungeons &amp; Dragons. The game
        aims to abstract much of the features of a TTRPG in order to give more power to
        the game master and their storytelling as opposed to complex game mechanics as
        seen in other entertaining, but difficult to pick up, tabletop games.
        The side effect of the game's simplicity is that game masters have a lot more work
        to do in creating content for their players - <b>this is intentional</b>, and if that
        doesn't sound like your thing then musi supa pona is not the game for you.
      </p>

      <p>
        This manual serves as a guide for both players and game masters alike; due to the
        game's relative simplicity it is possible to contain all information about the game
        into one document. Additional information and resources can be found at

        One of the key aspects of musi supa pona, as with many TTRPGs, is the character.
        The game character is the way in which the real world player interacts with the
        internal world of the game, and as such, great importance is put into the
        character in musi supa pona.

      <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-1">
        <p>
          The most important part of a character is their in-game stats. These are used
          to determine various parts of the game using dice rolls. Each statistic is a
          positive or negative number which represents how a d20<sup><a id="fnr.1" class="footref"
              href="#fn.1">1</a></sup>'s
          output will be modified (similar to DnD). The statistics are as follows:
        </p>

        <ul class="org-ul">
          <li><b>Strength</b>: A character's physical capabilites.</li>
          <li><b>Intelligence</b>: A character's ability to be observant of the world around them
            and interpret and work with complex ideas.</li>
          <li><b>Speed</b>: A character's agility of movement.</li>
          <li><b>Defence</b>: A character's ability to deal with injury.</li>
          <li><b>Charisma</b>: A character's ability to manipulate or otherwise convince those
            around them.</li>

        <div class="outline-text-4" id="text-2-1-1">
          <p>
            Each statistic is calculated by rolling a d20 and 2d6.
            The sum of the 2d6 is subtracted from the d20, allowing for a maximum stat of +18
            and a minimum of -11.
          </p>

          <p>
            This should be calculated before a session begins, when the character is created.
            It may only be done once in the creation of a character, and you cannot reroll
            unless given permission by the game master.

            Every item has a weight in grams, and the maximum quantity that a character can

            character's <b>Defence</b> statistic.
          </p>

          <p>
            If the character's health reaches 0 as a result of damage, the player must roll
            3d20 as disaster rolls. If the sum of the rolls is more than 30, the character's health is increased
            to 1 and the character is unable to attack or defend themselves unless their
            health increases (if the character's health is 1 for other reasons, this rule
            does not apply). If the sum is less than 30, the character dies and can no longer
            be used in the current session (the game master can decide how to proceed in future

      <p>
        The game loop of musi supa pona is simple, and largely the same as Dungeons and
        Dragons.
      </p>

      <ol class="org-ol">
        <li>The game master describes the scenario in which the characters are found.</li>
        <li>The game master will ask one player (by convention, the one to their left, but it
          doesn't matter) what they are going to do. If the player desires to perform an <b>action</b>,
          the dice are rolled, and the game master describes the result of the action.</li>
        <li>The game master repeats this for every player at the table, then repeats the
          whole thing again.</li>

      <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-1">
        <p>
          Actions are any thing that a character can do that involves one of their statistics.
          Unlike Dungeons and Dragons, musi supa pona does not feature sub-statistics in the form
          of skills<sup><a id="fnr.3" class="footref" href="#fn.3">3</a></sup>
          and only the base ones are used. For each action, the game master will
          declare which skill is involved and a d20 is rolled, adding the modifier listed
          on the character sheet to the result. Without telling the player, the
          game master will determine the minimum (or maximum) result needed for the action
          to be successful.

    <div id="outline-container-org2084bd3" class="outline-3">

      <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-2">
        <p>
          A core part of gameplay is battle, when the characters are confronted with
          enemies to defeat. Battle works as follows:
        </p>

        <ol class="org-ol">
          <li>Every character's player rolls a d6, and the game master rolls a d6
            for every NPC involved. This determines the turn order (from lowest to highest).
            If two participants roll the same number, the one with the greatest <b>Speed</b>
            statistic goes first (NPCs have no speed statistic and so for this purpose
            it is 0).</li>
          <li>On their turn, each player (or NPC, controlled by the game master) picks
            which enemy their character is going to attack. Their turn can alternatively
            be used to perform a non-battle action (such as using an item to heal a friend).</li>
          <li>If attacking, both the character's player and the enemy's controller (i.e. the
            game master) roll a d6 dice. The attack is successful if the attacker's result
            is greater than the defender's result. If the defender's result is exactly twice
            that of the attacker, then the defender gets an extra turn just after the
            attacker's turn.</li>
          <li>This repeats for every player and NPC until either there are no more enemies or
            all the player characters have died.</li>
        </ol>

        <p>
          The effect of the attack is determined by the equipment the character has
          (and ultimately, the game master).

      <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-3">
        <p>
          It is assumed that all characters will move between actions at the same speed, for
          simplicity and to reduce the amount of calculation required from the game master.
          If the game master wishes to implement a more specific movement system, they are

          <li><b>Short Rest</b>: The player does not get a turn in the next round of actions. Instead,

          The way in which the passage of time is handled and how it interacts with rest
          is up to the game master; they may choose to have a day/night cycle with

          You should create some content for your next session or campaign. It may be useful
          to include:
        </p>

        <ul class="org-ul">
          <li>Details about places in the in-game world (e.g. towns, villages, forests)</li>
          <li>A preset list of common items in the in-game world (weapons, armor, etc.)</li>
          <li>A preset list of common creatures, their actions, their attacks and their
            health points</li>
          <li>Some prepared dungeons, quests and adventures</li>
        </ul>

        <p>
          If you don't want to come up with all of this yourself, you can borrow content and
          ideas from other musi supa pona game masters or other TTRPGs. Alternatively, you
          may want to consider playing a less abstract TTRPG.
