The Singularity Bell

Time-Travel. Sabotage. Bribery.

A one-page tabletop roleplaying game designed for a fast-paced mission to prevent all future holidays from becoming a thing of the past!

What is The Singularity Bell?

The Singularity Bell is a rules-lite game where players take on the roles of specialized operatives sent to Victorian London to prevent the Development of a curious Christmas Ornament, The Singularity Bell. Despite looking like an ordinary ornament, its true purpose is to make holidays—all holidays, not just Christmas—an unknown event. Nobody will remember celebrating Easter, July 4th, Australia Day… nothing. It’s up to you to stop those pesky time-travelling scientists destroying fun.

This game is perfect for:

• One-Shot Mission: Save the holidays in a single, intense session.
• Minimal Rules: Everything you need fits on one sheet, allowing for quick setup.

Features

• 1d6 Core Mechanic: Simple dice rolls determine success or failure.
• Tech Points (TP): Your vital resource. Spend TP for Advantage on rolls, or save them to patch up a damaged system or an injured crewmate.
• Expertise and Flaws: Define your character by their core Expertise (Systems, Combat, Interaction) and their crippling Flaw, ensuring unique challenges.

“Who cares about saying Happy Holidays over Merry Christmas? If we fail, nobody will be saying either!”
