Everything Everywhere

One-Shot RPG

Your experience of the universe is incomplete. It is but a single state of a nearly infinite superimposition of quantum-entanglement, where everything happens and all things are possible. Each decision you make branches your life into ever increasingly divergent realities, some better and some far worse. Interaction between these realities is impossible, except for some…verse jumpers. These individuals are in fact the worst versions of themselves. By making every wrong decision in their life, they are thus in close proximity to a multitude of better selves in better realities. By verse jumping, they can adopt the skills of their alternate selves, materialize objects from other realities, and even move their consciousness between dimensions. Because everything exists everywhere, a verse-jumper’s only limit is what they can imagine.

Character creation in this game takes a different spin: players are encouraged to create characters adjacent to their real life personalities, but can only give them weaknesses and no strengths. After all, it is being the worst version of yourself that enables one to verse jump. This enables players to interact with aspects of themselves they don’t like, giving weight behind whimsical fun, and allows them to acquire strengths over the course of the game, instead of starting in a balanced place.

There are no skills, players simply think up what they want to borrow from an infinite number of versions of themselves, and through defined parameters, the GM determines what occurs and what complicates the story. But each verse-jump leads a player closer to the decision point, where their character has fully comprehended what the multiverse means: that nothing matters. How the characters grapple with this existential threat is at the heart of a game of Everything Everywhere, and becomes the throughline that carries a silly romp of make believe to its monumental conclusion.

Game incoming, stay tuned!

This is a work in progress and not yet in a playable state. It is inspired by the film Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, and will likely launch further from this point through additional development.
