A Solo RPG by Dusky Creative
Part of DriveThruRPG’s fourth-annual game jam! PocketQuest 2025 Theme is Dreams & Nightmares! PocketQuest 2025 submissions are at most 25 pages (including covers) and act as standalone games.
Workforce right-sizing. Laid off. Made redundant. Fired.
Whatever they want to call it, you don’t have a job anymore. It wouldn’t be so bad, if it weren’t for all of these pesky bills you need to pay. And your sanity. Stress can do terrible things to a mind.
Dream Job is a solo RPG about searching for a job. Journal events as your character navigates a corporate nightmare to find the right job for them. But take heart! There is always hope.
Abilities are determined by rolling three six-sided dice, and choosing two of them to total for your value. The remaining dice goes into the bank as your starting Savings. Of course, you want your abilities and your savings to both be high, so the difficult choices have already begun!
Gameplay involves using a pair of six-sided dice to resolve the challenges facing your character each day. Based on your abilities, you’ll want to roll equal to or lower than that ability’s value.
When you end up in a sticky situation, there’s always Hope. An expendable, fleeting resource, Hope can be used to grow as a person, nudge your luck in the right direction, or even find a little extra cash in a desperate moment.
A game generally takes two to four hours to complete. With over twenty different random encounters to roll, seven endings, and six different epilogues, there’s plenty to keep you entertained across multiple play-throughs.
I hope you enjoy Dream Job, and that you find your real dream job!
Dream Job is available through DriveThruRPG in Print and PDF.
