I am new to TTRPG. It seems this information is not included on a lot of descriptions on itch.io. Maybe it’s obvious to most people, but not to me!

How many players does this game support? (please clarify if it includes or excludes the GM)
What is the average play time?

These are reasonable things to ask! There is definitely a 'deep end' of RPGs which assume a lot of 'scaffolding' to already be in place.

I might guess this is best with 2-4 players. Play time is 5 minutes to days of intermittent play. I'm guessing a dedicated play session would last 20 minutes per player.

You didn’t clarify whether 2-4 includes a GM or not, but I’m going to assume it does not. So when you say 2-4 players, I assume you mean 3-5 people.

No GM!
