Last month I saw a reference to the "You Cannot Play This TTRPG Jam":

This is a game jam for games that do not exist. They won't ever exist. They will never be playable. They will suggest a game, create a space in which it seems like a game could exist, but where there is none. It might make someone wish that it were an actual, real, game, and may even inspire them to create one, but will never itself be a game.

That sounds like fun! I thought. So I put together a quickie.

A heap of numbers in the Optima font, apparently lying scattered on the ground.

Prepare your character for sci-fi roleplaying!

In the Aeonic ruleset, it is not, strictly speaking, possible to die during character generation.

(And now you know what classic TTRPG I am riffing on. Well, one of them. The title is a nod to Æon, which I mentioned a few weeks ago.)

I hope it is amusing. And by all means take a look at the other 98 jam entries as well. People had lot of fun with this idea.
