If I Were You - A Conversation Before the End

If I Were You is a two-player conversational tabletop roleplaying game played entirely through dialogue.

There are no dice, no stats, and no shared objective. A fragile connection forms between two people who should not be able to speak. You may not understand why the connection exists, only that it does.

You will never meet.

The conversation will not last forever.

But you will be changed

Play begins with a single question.

From there, the game unfolds through natural conversation, shaped by prompts, interruptions, and sudden endings. Cards are tools that shift tone, introduce pressure, or end the exchange entirely.

When the signal ends, the game ends.

This game is inspired by For the Queen, The Time We Have, 6 Minutes of Power Remaining and You Know Me

This is a quiet, intimate game about misalignment, projection, hesitation, and uncertainty.

It is not about solving a problem or reaching agreement. It is about what happens when two people try to understand each other while standing in very different places.

Every session is unrepeatable. Every conversation leaves something behind.

This game is for players who enjoy:
