Balahi
A downloadable game
Somewhere outside of everything real there is the island of Balahi and it calls continuously to the people of Earth. Whether they are escaping a life that is too content, or needing to lay down a burden from their past that has them stuck, or perhaps just needing a little adventure a person turns a corner and finds themselves on a beautiful beach, quite far from home. And Balahi and its shining resort town of Sea Glimpse welcomes them warmly...
All visitors called to Balahi share a common tongue, whether they be from Earth’s past, present or its future. In Sea Glimpse they meet, share the stories of their lives, perhaps share romance, or find themselves in conflict when their differences prove too difficult to overcome.
And sometimes fellow free spirits band together to explore the uncharted expanses of their new home, full of danger and secrets…
Balahi is a one-page RPG system for 2+ players. Any human from any time period may find themselves called to the shores of Balahi. Play as a historical figure like Cleopatra or Abraham Lincoln, or a lesser known person, or even play as yourself!
This is my first attempt at designing a tabletop RPG. Please let me know what you think!

I really like how your game mechanics gently steer away from violence and death to imply, but not enforce a more peaceful, vacation vibe. The skill system being split between Professional, Hobby, Area of Knowledge, Fighting and Seemingly Useless categories is a really nice touch to discourage one-trick pony characters. Now I kinda want to play as Julius Caesar in flip-flops and a sun hat!
If you get a chance to check out one of my jam submissions and tell me what you think, I would appreciate it!
