Run Raptor Run

Run, Raptor, Run! is a Roleplaying Party Game in which you’ll play raptors racing across the multiverse, avoiding lethal obstacles of all kinds, running through ever-changing and spectacular racetracks that defy the laws of physics.

Run, Raptor, Run! is a Roleplaying Party Game of weird racings, featuring comical velociraptors speeding through an intricate multiverse. 

Players will get the chance to choose among different raptor cards inspired by pop-culture personalities, to face a circuit composed of ever-changing tiles, full of deadly traps and thrilling perils, which will allow them to accumulate magical artifacts in a brutal, cartoonish and ultraviolent race. 

Run, Raptor, Run! is a Roleplaying Party Game for up to 6 players and a Game Master, for fast, nonsensical and hilarious sessions. Get ready to run like there's no tomorrow, and get to the finish line first: but above all, get ready to narrate how you will make it! 

A set composed of two 20-faced dice.

40 Racetrack Tiles to create the ever-changing circuits, divided in 20 Pit Straight Tiles useful to accumulate Sprint Points, helping and hinder other raptors, and gain useful magical Items, and 20 Curve Tiles representing hazardous traps. New Racetrack Tiles are ready to be revealed in the stretch goals! All unlocked stretch goals will be included in the box contents.

6 exhilarating, cartoonish, and marvelously illustrated Metaraptor Cards, each with unique Skills and Edges. But the Raptors are a real horde! New Metaraptor Cards will be unlocked through stretch goals and included in each box.

6 Trophy Cards, to create the racetrack's shape and define the race's Speed.

20 Item Cards, representing the Items you can find - and take for yourself - along the circuit, useful to bring more chaos to the game.  

A GM Screen complete with all the game’s easy and intuitive rules. Don't miss the chance to become part of the audience of this odd race thanks to the Turbo Fan pledge! Become an art on the GM Screen, your portrait will be illustrated by Fransceso Musiani!

A Tracker, for constantly checking how the race is going and what your position is, and tons of Tokens: 
a) Turbo Tokens
b) Bog Down Tokens
c) Wound Tokens
d) Metaraptor Tokens
e) Sprint Points

A complete game on a GM Screen! All the GMs will need are the condensed rules written on the GM Screen.

Playing the role of the sportscaster of the Metaraptors' race, the GM will draw one Racetrack Tile after another, following the directions on the chosen Trophy Card to decide whether it will be a Pit Straight or a Curve.

In each Pit Straight each Metaraptor will be able to Sprint, rolling a D20 to beat the Speed indicated on the Trophy Card (and modified by the Pit Straight Tile) to gain Sprint Points needed to win the race. But all Metaraptors can also Distract another raptor to assign it a Bog Down Token, and even Help another raptor by awarding it a Turbo Token (when the race is already lost, better to let whoever you want win!), and finally take an Item Box, a simple wooden crate that contains one magical artifact.

In each Curve, each Metaraptor will have to overcome an obstacle using its Skills, but its player will have to accurately describe how it will do it, since Skills such as Cosplay and Self-Scare have to be narrated in-game! Roll a D20 but watch out for Turbo Tokens and Bog Downs that can advantage or disadvantage the roll! Those who fail, take 1 Wound, and with 3 Wounds will leave this race and this multiverse forever!

Yet, Dead Metaraptors can still act: they can throw Items by performing a Stand Intervention, a post-mortem action to benefit your favorite still-alive raptor!

Whoever has the most Sprint Points at the end of the number of Tiles indicated on the Trophy Card, wins the race!

What makes Run, Raptor, Run! so special? Well, the peculiarity of this game is that you’ll get the chance to constantly narrate HOW you move along the race track, HOW the magical artifact collected affects your Skills, HOW the other players obstruct the path at your passage, HOW the condition of that specific trait of the multiverse make the things even more complicated.

You’ll have to narrate, as in every RPG, what’s happening around you and how you’ll interact with certain contexts.

Run, Raptor, Run!  is an Italian project that we are developing in two languages: English & Italian. If funded, you will be asked to choose your edition after the conclusion of the campaign, on the pledge manager with a BackerKit survey.

Every game publishing project needs time to grow and to be properly developed. As Mana Project Studio, we want to keep you involved in the stages we will go through before the final fulfilment of this campaign. 

We'll ship anywhere in the World except Russia, and if we succeed, shipping costs will be collected after the Kickstarter Campaign. Shipping costs and applicable V.A.T. will be calculated automatically for you and charged to the pledge manager. You will not pay any shipping during the Kickstarter.

Below is a rough estimate of the costs, which will also depend on your pledge level:

• Europe. ~ 10/15€
• United States. ~ 15/20€
• United Kingdom. ~ 20/30€
• Remote Europe. ~ 30/35€
• Canada. ~ 35/40€
• Rest of the world. ~ 40+€

As soon as possible, we'll set a more accurate shipping costs list, as some changes will be based on achieving some stretch goals, and the cost of logistics worldwide is currently notoriously volatile. Fees will be collected only with the BackerKit survey.

• Studio 2 Publishing - North America - https://studio2publishing.com/
  We will use Studio 2 as usual as a consolidator who will supply products to our partners such as GTS, Alliance, Southern Hobby and many others!

We still seek the best partner for European, UK, and Australian distribution.
