Everyone Is John - Random Starting Scenarios



Staying productive, just a little something I worked on. Hopefully someone can find this useful.

The way my ttrpg group plays Everyone is John is when the round ends, the winner becomes the GM. So to help ease less-experienced GMs into the role, I have created this Random Starting Scenarios table!

I use games like Everyone is John for warming up my creativity for other projects, look for more supplements in the future!

You can find the pdf download at DriveThruRPG for free.

"Everyone Is John" Character Concepts

 Everyone Is John is a fun, free, and simple TTRPG that allows for faster beer-and-pretzel roleplay experiences. For the GM, Everyone Is John is the ultimate flex for improving your improvisational skills. I highly recommend using this game as a tool for new and aspiring GMs/DMs to test their mettle.


The players play as different "voices" that vie for control of John. The key foundation to a fun and engaging session is for a fun and unique "voice". Below are some ideas for "voice" characters, use and abuse them as you feel:

THE FROGMAN
Obsession (Level 2): Hop around like a frog trying to get people to kiss him so that he can turn back into a Prince. Eat some flies just for effect.
Skills: Garner Symphony & Frog Tongue

THE CHEF
Obsession (Level 2): Create unique and "masterful" culinary experiences. More than just eating food (a Level 1 obsession), your idea of unique and masterful can be made from anything from trash to exotic meats.
Skills: Cooking & Scrounging

THE STRANDED SEA CAPTAIN
Obsession (Level 2): I MUST RETURN MY "BOAT" TO THE SEA! Boat is variable defined, we are crazy after-all.
Skills: Pilot Craft & Drink Rum

THE ALIEN
Obsession (Level 2): As an alien ambassador, you MUST be taken to one of Earth's "leaders". Leader is variably defined depending on the situation.
Skills: Intimidation & Gather Data

THE CANDIDATE
Obsession (Level 3): Become President (by other means necessary).
Skills: Lying & Freshen Yourself (we have to be TV pretty after all)


On another note, it has been 6 years since I've done anything with this blog and I guess we can see if I can keep up the momentum this time. Best to you, reader!
