# Medley tags: #game/rpg/medley ![[Medley (cover).jpg]] **Medley** is a "no-prep" tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) that embraces minimalism. It's designed for those who prefer to jump right into the action without getting bogged down in extensive character creation, world-building, or pre-game planning. The core mechanic revolves around rolling a handful of d6s and interpreting the results to shape the narrative. The die pool is rolled and the highest number rolled sets the outcome: - 6: Success. - 4-5: Mix - 1-3: Hard consequences. This streamlined approach keeps the focus on improvisation and collaborative storytelling. While **Medley** is particularly well-suited for one-shots, it can also be adapted for short campaigns, offering a flexible framework for spontaneous role-playing sessions. The game also suggests using a "deck of Recall," a deck of cards with words on them, to spark creativity and inspire new ideas during gameplay. ## References - [Medley by Deep Light Games - itch.io](https://deep-light-games.itch.io/medley) - [Medley - Deep Light Games | DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/478826/medley)
