I Got Bonked on the Head and When I Woke Up My Friends and I were Forced to Draw Something Together: Drawfee InspiredRPG

(Drawn in five minutes using a mouse)

I Got Bonked on the Head and When I Woke Up My Friends and I were Forced to Draw Something Together is a game where you and up to three other friends draw a prompt together on a single piece of paper (or other medium). While drawing, you will be distracted and have to complete certain silly tasks. When the game is finished, you will have a work of art made up of the art of your friends. You can then frame this and fondly remember the times you created together.

What you need:

1. 2-4 people, including yourself

2. Something to do art on, called a Medium from here on out (i.e., big piece of paper, canvas, a wall, dry erase board, etc.)

3. Stuff to do art with, called Materials from here on out (i.e., pencils, markers, paint and brushes, spray paint, etc.)

i. Ideally, the materials you get will be able to be used on the medium from number 2

4. A deck of cards, including the two jokers

5. Cells phones, or some method of digitally or physically communicating with the other players that isn’t talking (i.e., chat program, paper notes, etc.)

i. Note: This is true even if you are playing in person

6. A countdown timer or some kind

This idea started because in the video Drawing Suggestion Grab Bag from July 12th, 2022, everyone jokes about the creation of a Drawfee TTRPG. I heard that and, since I like making games, it got my brain thinking.

I did not think the thinking would go anywhere. I was wrong. On the night of July 13th, twenty-four hours after watching that video, I was hit with inspiration. My brain overflowed and I filled five pages of a notebook trying to brainstorm this game.

Now, it is July 15th, 4:30pm, and I am in a Panera Bread creating this project file on Itch.io. I've been planning on uploading other games here soon, but this project came together so fast I didn't even realize I was finished. All of the art was done within 30 minutes while sitting at that Panera Bread. Enjoy!
