====== Welcome to Questies ======
===== Adventure Awaits. How Will You Rise? =====

Tabletop roleplaying games are collaborative stories where //you// shape the action. Forget complex spreadsheets or memorizing rulebooks—**Questies** is about **bold choices**, **creative problem-solving**, and **telling unforgettable stories**. Whether you’re a space pirate, a dragon barista, or a detective solving crimes in a neon-lit cyberpunk city, the rules bend to //your// imagination.  

Here’s the secret: **You don’t need pages of stats to be the hero**. Instead of tracking every arrow or spell slot, **Questies** uses **Approaches**—//how// you tackle challenges—to keep the story flowing.  

**Every action you take leans into one of six dynamic Approaches:** 

  * **CAREFUL**: Methodical precision. //“I study the trap’s mechanism before disarming it.”//
  * **CLEVER**: Wit over brawn. //“I repurpose the tavern’s stewpot into a makeshift shield!”//
  * **FLASHY**: Style with substance. //“I backflip onto the stage, enthralling the crowd.”//
  * **FORCEFUL**: Unstoppable momentum. //“I shoulder-bash the dungeon door off its hinges.”//
  * **QUICK**: Lightning reflexes. //“I dart between guards before they draw their swords.”//
  * **SNEAKY**: Shadows and subtlety. //“I ‘borrow’ the keyring while ‘accidentally’ spilling wine.”// 

Your hero is defined by **HOW** they act, not **WHAT’S** on their character sheet.

**EXAMPLE**: Breaking into a castle becomes a playground for creativity:  
  * **FORCEFUL**: Smash the gates with a battering ram!  
  * **SNEAKY**: Slip through the sewers undetected.  
  * **CLEVER**: Forge a royal invitation.  
  * **FLASHY**: Pose as flamboyant nobles in a gilded carriage.  
  * **QUICK**: Scale the walls during a guard shift change.  
  * **CAREFUL**: Map the patrol routes for the perfect moment.  

**The Power is Yours:**
  * **No rigid classes**: Mix and match your style. Be a **CLEVER** brawler, a **FLASHY** scholar, or a **SNEAKY** diplomat.  
  * **Fail forward**: Even a bad roll advances the story—maybe you escape the dragon but lose your treasured heirloom.  
  * **Adapt to any setting**: Fantasy, sci-fi, noir—the rules stay simple, so your creativity doesn’t.  

**Optional for Worldbuilders:**
Want more structure?
Enable **Archetypes** (like //Martial//, //Arcane//, or //Primal//) as modular traits. These add flavor to checks (e.g., a //Divine// character might get a bonus when invoking their deity **CAREFULLY**).

**Ready?** Your story begins with a single question:
