U26 Experiment – Tabletop RPG of Shared Identity & Emergent Narrative

Who This Appeals To

Tabletop RPG players who want something genuinely experimental — a game where every player embodies a different facet of a single character's psyche, fighting for control over their actions as the world ends. Perfect for groups who love narrative-driven play, emergent storytelling, and games that don't require a GM to prepare a story in advance.

• Set in "The Cradle" — an enclosed habitat where human clones have stratified into five social groups: Dominants, Submissives, Nihilists, the Beautiful, and the Matriarchs
• Story Prompt generator creates fully emergent narratives — no pre-written story needed
• Campaign length scales with player count: exactly as many sessions as players, plus one
• Each session has a different Narrator, distributing GM duties across the group
• Takes minutes to prepare: collective Brainstorming phase, then dive in
• 100 pages, 6×9 format, full-color interior, softcover
• Includes PDF

What You'll Experience

Imagine arguing with your fellow players — not as rival characters, but as competing voices inside one person's head — as doom approaches and every decision feels urgent. The rotating Narrator role means everyone gets a turn shaping the world, and the Story Prompt system ensures no two campaigns ever unfold the same way. U26 Experiment is the kind of game that makes you rethink what a tabletop RPG can be.

Common Questions

Do I need a dedicated GM? No — the Narrator role rotates each session, so no single player carries the full GM burden.

How long is a campaign? Exactly as many sessions as there are players, plus one final session — built-in pacing by design.
