Two Sides to the Coin - (Osprey Roleplaying) by Rebecca Blake (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

A roleplaying game of teamwork and treachery where the need to cooperate is second only to achieving your own ulterior motives.

Think you know roleplaying? Think again! Welcome to Two Sides to the Coin, a cooperative roleplaying game with only one winner.

Designed for one-shot games or short, linked stories, Two Sides to the Coin throws players into tense situations, from high-stakes heists and murder investigations to deep-space rescue missions and peace negotiations between warring nations. Players will have to work together to achieve a shared objective... but must also strive to achieve their own personal goals - individual gain, revenge, perhaps even outright sabotage! While teamwork and cooperation will be vital in achieving the overall goal, manipulation, misdirection, and deceit will be needed in order to come out ahead.

With a variety of scenarios that can be run straight away, as well as advice for Narrators looking to create new scenarios in varied settings, Two Sides to the Coin offers a novel roleplaying experience, focused on roleplaying rather than dice-rolling.

Work together to achieve your common goal, but don't forget to achieve your own ulterior motives along the way... by any means necessary!
