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:
