Showtime!
Showtime! is lyric, solo-RPG about hunting monsters, being glorious and earning coins!
Players take the role of a magnificent Bard, accompanying a Monster Hunter through wondrous adventures!
Here's the catch: hunting monsters is a very competitive business... And your job is to weave the catchiest of tunes about your Hunter's feats, in order to convince audiences to donate some gold to support such noble work! Your stories need not be faithful to how the events actually transpired - as long as they're remarkable and entertaining and leave the people wanting more!
Build up your companion's legend and coffers with each new song - while building up your legend and coffers as well (after all, you are the true star of the show, no matter what the haters say)!

To play Showtime! you will need this rule book; at least one six-sided die (1d6) and one twenty-sided die (1d20); a way to write down your glorious songs and keep track of your journey; and the confidence, style, grace and magnetism of the rockstar we already know you are!!
This book contains rules for one-shots and for campaign play, as well as optional rule variants for multiplayer sessions!

Hi! I'm excited to play this game. Would it be possible to get a version with individual pages instead of spreads? I'd like to print mine and fold it into a booklet. Thanks!
Hey hey!
It would definitely be possible! As a matter of fact, we've just uploaded a new file with individual pages - as well as new black and white versions to make it a little easier on the ink if anyone desires to print it that way!
Thanks for the heads up, and we hope you have fun singing about some epic monster hunter adventures!
Amazing, thank you so much!
Looks interesting
I played this game last night! It's been great company while I've been ill and couchbound.
In typical Catscratcher Studios fashion, the tables give the game replayability and a delightful sense of the unexpected. I really felt like I was the bard and had to think on my feet!
