"The Sound of War is the Sound of Silence..."

You are a veteran of war—a soldier whose memories blur between honor and trauma. In Veteran Day, you’ll experience the emotional journey of a soldier, reflecting on bravery, brotherhood, patriotism, survival, and the haunting memories of battle. Through journal entries and simple dice rolls, you will shape the story of your character, navigating the scars left by war and the uncertain path toward peace.

What is This Game?

Veteran Day is a solo or multiplayer journaling RPG focused on the emotional aftermath of war. With just a six-sided die, your journal, and your imagination, you will:

  • Live the Veteran's Experience: Reflect on your struggles with bravery, brotherhood, and patriotism as you navigate the challenges of a soldier's life.
  • Roll for Fate: Use a d6 to resolve challenges, determining success or failure in moments of survival, honor, and haunting memory.
  • Progress Through War: Track your Peace and War points to define your journey, culminating in a final roll to determine whether you overcome the horrors of war or succumb to them.
  • Help or Compete with Others: In multiplayer mode, work with a partner to face shared trials, supporting each other or vying for your own peace.

Key Features:

  • Immersive Storytelling: Record your character’s reflections, decisions, and memories, creating a unique and deeply personal narrative each time you play.
  • Minimalist Rules, Maximum Impact: Use only one d6 to resolve your journey, making this a quick, accessible RPG with deep emotional resonance.
  • Replayable & Dynamic: Each playthrough presents new prompts and challenges, ensuring that every game is different. Your choices will lead to varied endings, giving you a story worth revisiting.
  • Solo & Multiplayer: Play alone to experience the internal struggle of a soldier, or join forces with a friend in multiplayer mode, combining dice rolls and abilities to face shared challenges.

How to Play:

  1. Create Your Veteran: Define your character’s backstory, name, appearance, abilities, and the effects of their experiences.
  2. Roll for Prompts: Each day, roll a d6 to determine your journal entry prompt—Bravery, Brotherhood, Patriotism, Survival, Honor, or Haunting Memory.
  3. Write Your Story: Reflect on each experience and make decisions based on the roll. Every action may lead to peace or war.
  4. Final Roll: At the end of six entries, compare your Peace and War points. The outcome of your final roll determines whether you find inner peace or are consumed by the pain of war.
