Fish Out of Water


The mermaids have been studying and their teacher feels they are ready to head to land to explore. On the next full moon, they'll swim up and will work together to accomplish their personal goals.
Fish Out of Water is the lighthearted game of mermaid field trips to land, a new roleplaying game for all mermaids and humans. The world is full of interesting things they've never seen or experienced and they are eager to try it all. They've got talents and magic and a curiosity that can't be stopped.

But visiting land won't be easy. Mermaids don't have cell phones, money, or experience with elevators. But dogs, museums, dance clubs, and other dry land activities await them and they are eager to test their skills. Work together to achieve their goals and learn new skills before they need to go home.
With the magic of the full moon, they have three days to come to land, dry off their tails into legs, and achieve their goals.
Each mermaid has swum from a different water biome: polar, benthic, reef, and more. Their home waters affect the magic they know, their body size and shape, and their innate abilities. The more adventures they go on, the more they learn and the closer they get to being accepted by adult mermaid society.
The Harbormaster - Challenges the mermaids as they try to achieve their goals and portrays all the Normal City People (NPCs) who live on land. They encourage the mermaids to work together, keep track of the time, and set the difficulty for success and outcomes of not completing their goals.
