PANOPTIC

PANOPTIC (“all-seeing”) is a freeform GMless roleplaying game.

By freeform, we mean it lacks a predefined structure. Its ultralight rules encourage unrestrained creative freedom.

By GMless, we mean Panoptic does not need a Director or Game Master. Collaborative storytelling drives the narrative.

These characteristics make Panoptic ideal for one-shot sessions that feel like ’80s B movies. Players should suspend their disbelief and take the absurd and unforeseen as the rule rather than the exception.

This game relies on improvisation and creativity to drive fun and storytelling. Like all games, Panoptic requires focus and energy. Please put aside your shyness, your worries and your cellphones.

This is the ideal RPG system for game masters suffering from burnout or players looking to practice storytelling.
