About the game
What you do in a play session
Temple Punks is a solo role‑playing roll‑and‑write game that blends dice, writing, and character decisions. In about 20‑30 minutes, you create a hero, choose abilities, and each turn roll four dice—two white and two black—to trigger actions between two boards. White dice activate movements, spells, attacks, or resource gathering, while black dice cause monsters to roam the ruins, forcing you to dodge or confront foes. The goal is to deliver predetermined artifacts and defeat two specific monsters, all while managing action points and selecting the most strategic actions. The paper‑and‑pen mechanic lets you record the unfolding story, crafting a unique narrative each playthrough. With high replayability thanks to deep character creation, Temple Punks offers a short, dynamic solo experience. Though it lacks physical components, its printable nature and lack of pieces make it accessible and adaptable to any setting. It’s perfect for fans of solo challenges, improvisation, and fantasy in a quick, engaging format.
