Traysikel - Ride or Die + PDF

Traysikel - Ride or die! is written as an intense action/survival game with no tolerance to its real antagonists - imperial colonizers.

They have played an unfathomable role in Filipino history as controllers of a culture’s identity. This adventure is all about finding identity and discovering the lengths people will go to erase or preserve it.

 

About Traysikel:

 

In participation with ZineMonth 2023: Traysikel is a dual-pamphlet system-agnostic fantasy motorcycle adventure for 1-4 Players and 1 GM.

Your rebel cabbie must ferry a Babaylan fugitive across the jungle mountain on a tricycle taxi! Battle nightmarish monsters while navigating the island’s violent colonial occupation and its brewing revolution. This fast-paced, point crawl module features tricycle customization and unique travel rules to give a "motorcycle diaries" style journey across a horror/fantasy setting within a fictional Philippines.

Traysikel draws its themes from 400 years of imperial colonialism in an alternate reality where indigenous magic and monsters still dominate the archipelago. 

The STYLE mechanic in Traysikel is a sliding spectrum that allows players to dress their taxi to suggest alliances with either the rebellion or colonial powers. In each leg of their journey, they will encounter the prejudice and benefits that come with the polarized viewpoints of their surroundings. No matter how players try to mitigate their appearance, they will always find themselves at the center of controversy for simply existing as who they are. While I have drawn inspiration from Southeast Asian culture, politics, and folklore, I feel that the social and moral themes tackled in this adventure are universal.

WE DO NOT HOLD ITEMS

Essentially it is the same as above. We adore all of you and strive to give you the best possible customer experience possible but inventory tracking not only for us but for our vendors and partners makes this almost impossible to do now.

We cannot combine pre-orders with existing orders nor combine new orders with existing pre-orders. 

Pre-orders will be exempt from any type of general sale.
