20 Strong

A modular solo adventure system built around a pool of 20 dice. Players progress through a shuffled deck of unique challenge cards—enemies, scenarios, or specific tasks—and resolve each by rolling a mix of 17 fixed dice with varied hit probabilities and three adjustable stat dice. Challenges require a target number of successes to clear; success grants rewards and failure deals damage and advances to the next card. Players track HP, Strategy (which governs rerolls and items), and Recovery (which determines how many dice return after a challenge), forcing decisions about how many dice to commit and when to conserve resources. Decks use the same core rules but introduce different mechanics and themes, culminating in a final boss if the deck is survived.
