Z˙HERO 🇬🇧
A downloadable game
Z˙HERO is a generic system for role-playing with your friends, fast, with minimal preparation and no need to remember tons of rules. But that returns a fulfilling gaming experience like that of the most complex and heralded titles.
➡️ It’s for you if you are taking your first steps in the world of role-playing games, because it will allow you to experience what a RPG is like by learning just a few rules.
➡️ It’s for you if you usually play the classics (D&D, Vampires, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk...) and you want to get out of your comfort zone trying a new setting, but you do not have time (or desire) to learn a new manual with hundreds of pages.
➡️ It’s for you that you have so many stories to tell and you would like a unique tool to be able to tell them all.
➡️ It’s for you if you love adventure and want to try something new!
It will be like playing a classic adventure RPG because:
1️⃣ You can create, customize and grow your character in any way you like
2️⃣ You will fight dangerous enemies in battles to the last breath
3️⃣ You can investigate mysteries, unravel intrigues, declamate tongue and any other idea your fantasy suggests
4️⃣ You can pick up oneshot or long campaigns, or turn a oneshot into a campaign with minimal effort
It will be different from the usual D&D because:
1️⃣ You will only have a few pages of rules to learn
2️⃣ If even a sudden rule, no one will have to complain
3️⃣ You will not have dozens of skills to combine to create pg power (but you can give free rein to your imagination)
4️⃣ You can set your adventure wherever you want, give the narration the tone you want and lead the story to unexplored shores (even improvising - indeed, improvisation is one of the few rules)

Hello, may I ask who is the artist for this game?
Hello, for now, I have created all the images using AI and my skills with software such as GIMP.
In the future, I would like to commission an artist to create unique and eye-catching graphics, but I don't currently have the funds for that.
