"Experiencing visions of a mythical land throughout childhood, you are guided to a kingdom ruled by the fae. Responsible for a pact made long ago by your ancestors, Arthur & Guinevere Pendragon, you must now earn Belief and the respect of their gods to secure your ticket back home."
INSPIRISLES is a completely original all ages Tabletop RPG promoting storytelling, empathy and Deaf awareness with an emphasis on cooperation.
Learn British and American sign language as you cast spells, solve puzzles and battle monsters!
INSPIRISLES features a unique system we have called Shaping. It allows participants to engage with Deaf culture and learn sign language (ASL and BSL included). It also forms the dice mechanic at the heart of the game, where you wield the elements to fight back Disbelief.
A rules-light roleplaying experience!
For the most fun, we recommend running the game with five players. One player volunteers to be the Grail Guide (GG), whilst the others form a party of Pendragons. It’s the Guide’s role to describe the Islands, plan the Questing Days (adventures) and give voice to the many characters and creatures the Pendragons will meet. We recommend the role to an adult or confident storyteller. Sessions typically run 2-3 hours and can feature anything from a series of intense battles to a relaxing afternoon of downtime.
Play as teens gifted extraordinary powers!
You play Pendragons, the descendents of Arthur and Guinevere. Sent to the Inspirisles, you must fight a dark energy known as Disbelief to restore their World Tree. By learning Shaping, a language allowing you to harness the elements, you will bring peace back to a crumbling kingdom.
Work together to heal an ailing land and restore a fractured kingdom!
INSPIRISLES encourages teamwork at every turn. Only by Shaping can the party overcome the tests of our game. Belief Barriers are non-combative tests where our Pendragons must think up ways their elements can solve puzzles. Disbelief Battles are combative tests, where our Pendragons must pit their elements against a dangerous opponent.
Great for any age!
Beyond Shaping, Inspirisles offers everything enthusiasts have come to expect from a modern RPG. Alongside the natural benefits of roleplaying, we have wholesome character creation, a simple but engaging 3d6 rolling mechanic, an intuitive guide for planning and running sessions, exhaustive story prompts, robust safety tools and disability inclusion throughout.
Video tutorials!
INSPIRISLES launches with video tutorials covering all sign language material. They have been lovingly produced and performed by my Deaf colleagues Rajnie Kaur and Katy White. Find the link to these on page 39 of our game. As well as our video tutorials, all sign language and Deaf awareness elements have been consulted on by professionals.
