THE TRUENAME

A Solo Wilderness Survival & Monster Hunting Tabletop RPG

Are you ready to earn your true name? In a primal clan that values raw strength, you are an underdog. To finally earn the respect of your people, you must embark on the Proving Quest: a solitary journey into the unforgiving wilds to hunt a legendary beast no one has ever defeated.

The Truename plunges you into a world of primal fantasy and wilderness survival, reminiscent of Princess Mononoke meets Monster Hunter. This tense and deeply personal conflict against the untamed forces of nature demands more than brute force – it demands keen wits, mastery of tracking, and unyielding resilience.

What to Expect:

• Deep Wilderness Survival: Navigate varied biomes, each with unique challenges, resources, and environmental hazards. Manage your food, water, and gear to survive the harsh elements and changing weather.
• Epic Monster Hunting: Your quarry is a single, legendary adversary with unique patterns, weaknesses, and a shifting domain. You won't defeat it with brute strength, but by learning its secrets, crafting essential gear, and exploiting its vulnerabilities.
• Narrative-Driven Gameplay: Every dice roll and every choice you make drives the story forward. Resource management, risk assessment, and narrative prompts will immerse you in your underdog's journey.
• Character Progression: Improve your core skills (Wits, Tracking, Resilience), discover rare components for legendary crafting, and gain minor talents that shape your unique path.
• The Path of the Pacifier: Beyond conquest, a challenging alternative awaits. Can you bond with the legendary beast, proving your worth through connection rather than combat?
• Meaningful Choices: Face difficult dilemmas that reflect your character's internal conflict and philosophy. Will you embrace the traditional ways of your clan, or forge your own path through cunning and understanding?

Your Proving Quest Awaits. Will you defeat the beast, bond with it, or succumb to the untamed wild? Your true name hangs in the balance.
