Have you ever wanted to play a tabletop RPG where you could bring anime characters and worlds to life? Have you ever wanted to mix the wild characteristics of an action-filled shonen beat-em-up with the characters of a dating sim, all taking place in the smoggy unlit streets of a crime thriller? In ISEKAI, you can have all that and more, with your friends by your side to experience the ride!
You are an agent of the Inter-Series Expedition to Keep Anime Interesting (ISEKAI) organization. When your anime ended, you were recruited to be sent into other ongoing shows to fix their problems behind the scenes, and in a world of seemingly infinite new shows, there’s a lot that needs fixing. Characters cut from the final script are trying to claw their way back to relevancy. The Creators are sneaking in poorly written self-insert characters. Even rogue characters from old shows are stealing the protagonists’ spotlight, trying to relive their fame.
You’ll have to leverage all the tools, tropes, and powers you had from your old show, slowly acclimating to being out of the spotlight as you move up in the organization. You’ll commandeer gear you find in the field, making you more effective. As you grow in power, so will your assignments and the risks they carry.
ISEKAI agents such as yourself have to be wary when entering a new show. You are usually on a deadline and if you take too long, a squad from another organization might have to step in and take drastic measures. The Censorship Bureau might send in a BURN squad to take the whole show off the air. You should also keep tabs on when you’re live and when you’re off-screen. When you’re offscreen, you can let loose with your powers without much thought, but while you’re live, you risk not only stealing the show from the protagonists, but if you die, it’s canon and permanent.
