Summary

A solo journaling one-page RPG where you play as an intern of the Multiversal Library Network.

Full Description

Travel the multiversal library system via word association

"Reference Hopping" is a solo journaling one-page RPG where you play as an intern of the Multiversal Library Network. Since today's most urgent tasks are distributed across 15 different branch locations, you'll need to travel between them via reference hopping.

What you need to play: The PDF, a dictionary

How it works:
Each branch library is associated with a dictionary word, or logonym. You can travel to another branch location if the two logonyms:

Begin with the same letter
Are anagrams of each other
Are synonyms or antonyms
Rhyme or are homonyms
* Have the same number of letters

If your target logonym doesn't meet any of these five conditions, you'll need to come up with other words to serve as stepping\-stones to reach your destination — preferably without destabilizing the spacetime continuum.

Once you've reached your destination, the task list and associated library information serve as prompts for a story in the form of an incident report (a fillable incident report template is included).
