Has anyone tried outBen Gray’sSwapnoteRPGyet? Talk about thinking outside the box! Go brush up on that spark of genius and then come back here.

It might be a little daunting to give this project a spin, especially if you are completely unfamiliar with traditional pen-and-paper role-playing games. To that end, Ben whipped up a brief tutorial video and shared some sample rules and dungeon maps (in the gallery below) to get you off the ground. Hopefully, these clarifications will encourage more people to take a chance.

Actually, I think the real reason Ben made this video was to show off his dice collection. Speaking of dice, you best be playing theSwapnoteRPG in a local setting, because I can totally see playing via SpotPass as inviting the same wholesome tactics as a round ofBattleShips. Yep, I totally rolled a 20! Don’t believe me? Let me send you a photo of my die with the 20 facing up!
