Arch\Nemesis

A poker-based one-page TTRPG of superpowered rivalry by Orestis V

Clashing ideologies, crossed destinies or just bucket-fulls worth of bad blood, you always knew it would come down to this. Yin and yang, locked up together in a single location, with the pressure climbing up and the clock ticking down. Secret powers will be revealed, plots and counter-plots will come to fruition, old wounds will bleed again. No reason to hold back; in the end only one, if any, will walk out…

The players create a pair of superpowered rivals, destined for one last decisive battle. Then they draw cards to form a winning hand in Texas hold’em fashion, narrating the fight as it unfolds. When the final card hits the table, the one with the best hand wins… but a heavy toll might still be extracted by the loser!

Created for the One-Page RPG Jam 2022.
