Inspirisles is an award-winning tabletop RPG, made in collaboration with the Deaf community, promoting storytelling, empathy and Deaf awareness.
Play as teens gifted extraordinary powers and meet famous characters and fearsome creatures from Celtic folklore, working together to heal and ailing land and restore a fractured kingdom.
Inspirisles will help you learn British and American sign language as you cast spells, solve puzzles, and battle monsters.
With Inspirisles, we are especially encouraging parents, educators and tabletop roleplaying beginners to invest in our game. Many of us have fond memories of 80s fantasy classics such as The NeverEnding Story & Labyrinth. Inspirisles aims to capture some of that nostalgic magic and transport its older participants back to a more carefree and imaginative time.
Inspirisles features a unique system we have called Shaping. It allows participants to engage with Deaf culture and learn sign language (ASL & BSL included). It also forms the fun dice mechanics at the heart of the game, where your Pendragons will wield the elements to fight Disbelief (a negative force) and heal the World Tree.
Inspirisles encourages teamwork at every turn. Only by Shaping can the party overcome the tests of the game. Belief Barriers are non-combative tests where our Pendragons must think up ways their elements can solve puzzles. Disbelief Battles are combative tests, where our Pendragons must pit their elements against a dangerous opponent in a duel.
Beyond Shaping, Inspirisles offers everything enthusiasts have come to expect from a modern TTRPG. Alongside the natural benefits of roleplaying, we have wholesome character creation, a simple but engaging 3d6 dice mechanic, an intuitive guide for planning and running sessions, exhaustive story prompts, robust safety tools, and disability inclusion throughout.
