What's New in the Second Edition?

We've reimagined Witasy Express with a renewed focus on narrative immersion and accessibility. This print-friendly edition brings you:

  • New features including character types, NPCs, and consequences
  • Deeper lore to enrich your journey
  • A simplified yet engaging core ruleset

While this print friendly edition 2 version doesn't include illustrations yet, it offers a rich, text-based experience that sparks your imagination. The full, illustrated version is on its way, but we couldn't wait to share this enhanced narrative experience with you.

SO, WHAT IS WITASY EXPRESS?

Witasy Express is a tabletop roleplaying game about exploring and experiencing wondrous sights while boarding a cruise-like train. Uses a standard 52 card deck. For 1+ players.

You are a normal office worker who had enough of work and decided to go on a long vacation until things got better. You went home after working the late night shift at the factory and were about to sleep but you couldn't.

So instead of going straight to bed, you decide to check the news. As soon as you turn on your television set you hear two newscasters talking excitedly about something called the "Witasy Express". 

They talked about how they would travel across continents without any stops or delays because of the amazing technology used by the Witasy corporation. 

After hearing these words, you suddenly realize what you need to do.

You want to travel. 

The core gameplay cycle revolves around a Character (you) traveling around the world with a budget. You’ll face encounters with other people, monsters, species, weird paranormal events, visit wondrous settlements, board a cruise-like train that takes you far from home, and hopefully maybe eventually set yourself up to live out your dreams of traveling.

You will need:
  • A deck of common playing cards (without Jokers)
  • A notebook (physical or digital)
  • A pen
  • Optional: Printer to print the game. (But you will need a password to unlock the printing and you can get that if you email at sparuh.com@gmail.com of dm me)
