Reality Code Jumper

Reality Code Jumper is a Quantum Leap-inspired, barcode-powered, reality-jumping RPG for one player and one GM.
THE PREMISE
Experimental physicists at an extra-governmental agency discover that everyday objects contain ‘codes’ that lead to new realities.
Using experimental tech, a Jumper ‘jumps’ into one of these realities, but something goes wrong. They’re trapped in a stranger’s body in a strange world.
The agency contacts the Jumper and tells them their only hope of ever returning home is to right a wrong in this reality. And if they can’t, they’ll be lost forever…

This is a fun, charming, and quick game. I've experienced it as both a player and a GM. As a GM, the barcode generation system immediately gives you the bones of a fun and quirky one-shot, but can also spin up ideas you could adapt to a larger campaign.
As a player, it's a curious (and hilarious) sensation to be dropped into the body of a character and to try to figure out who you are (without revealing that you don't know who you are). This creates a story with high stakes but low pressure on the player to know the rules or lore.
Thanks for playing the game and for the very generous feedback. It's so nice to hear from people like you who are enjoying the game both as a player and a GM.
