I'm really interested in trying this out! I've never played a GM-less game before though so it's a little intimidating. 


One question I do have though. Is there any plans to add combat to the playbooks? Obviously persona as a genre is based very heavily around the RPG elements, so having a tabletop game based on it being mostly centered around rp makes complete sense. But persona also has combat and I would love to see it included in some way. Especially for players who may be more inclined towards combat over rolepla.

Thanks for commenting!

There are no plans to add traditional dice combat to Stand Up.  The belonging outside belonging system and Stand up don't use dice at all, so everything is resolved through roleplay and collaborative storytelling.

However, that doesn't mean you can't be in combat!  I tried to make your Mask Moves, the things you can use in the Reversal (the "metaverse"), empowering in situations where you feel like fighting is the answer.

You can play the game without getting into a fight at all or get into lots of fights, in and out of the the Reversal.  It all depends on what you and your group feels right for your story.  Fundamentally, though, adding a combat system is antithetical to the core system of the game, so it will never be added.

As for the GM-less aspect, I'm currently working on an update that will give new players to GM-less tabletop games some more help starting out, especially if you're used to games like D&D.  I'm not sure when it will come out, but keep an eye out if that's something you think would help you play.

I hope this answered your question in a helpful way!

Thank you very much for the reply!!
I've never heard of the belonging outside belonging system before so I wasn't aware that it wasn't a combat based system.
That's really good to know! 
I'll look into it as much as I can.
I know one of the players I usually play TTRPG games with is big into combat, which is the main reason I asked.

having something set up for newbie GM-less game players would definitely be helpful! I'm sure for lots of people~
