Show HN: Mirage – a social, lighthearted, storytelling-focused roleplaying game

This is a little hobby project I'm working on, and I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Mirage is a lighthearted, social, easy to learn roleplaying game, focused on storytelling, improvisation, imagination and creativity. Your goal is to make up and play out a fun story. You will go on adventures, complete quests, find treasure, slay dragons, and gain awesome powers.

Mirage is made for the people who, like me, enjoy the social/creative aspects of Dungeons and Dragons, but don’t like the countless arguments over the intricate rules, the painfully slow combat encounters, and all the tedious arithmetics.

It’s perfect for people who want to get started with roleplaying but have no experience, and it’s great for getting your non-gamer friends or kids into RPGs. It’s great for improvisers and storytellers who want to focus on playing a fun long-form improv game, without the rules getting in the way.

It’s rules are very simple, but deep and interesting enough for the experienced players to play over a long period of time.

You can play it in-person or over discord. It's super fun, and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Wow, this looks really cool! I love the idea of a distillation of DnD down to just the fun bits at the core.

I enjoyed skimming some of the adventures, but I'd really like to see a play-by-play account of an example scenario. It would be great to see the procedure of gameplay, and the GM and each player's thoughts and decisions, to solidify how Mirage works in practice.
