First Edition

Intense drama.

Hilarious comedy.

And you are the sole protagonist.

First Edition is the game of personal storytelling for one player and one GM. Incorporating new rules by GUMSHOE One-2-One and DramaSystem designer Robin D. Laws, First Edition features an accessible framework for creating compelling solo protagonist narratives.

This core rulebook also includes eleven innovative RPG adventures and protagonist characters by Robin D. Laws and Wade Rockett, Sarah Saltiel and Ruth Tillman:

• Addison’s Shadow: A young girl comes of age, haunted by a shadowy being and visions of her family’s destruction.
• Earth Again: Deceit abounds as Earth’s last humans hurtle through space.
• Entreaty and Entanglement: A whipsmart young Regency woman’s prospects take an unexpected turn when she accompanies her sister for a season in the socially bubbling spa town of Bath.

• Way Station: The arrival of a telepath on her space station abruptly shifts a hard-won sense of balance for resourceful mechanic Adi.
• Without You: A vampire and his mortal love reckon with secrets, sickness, and immortality.
