How to Read This Book

Replay Section
A replay is a written-out
transcript of a group playing
the
Konosuba TRPG

The players are the game’s
creators themselves! You’d do
well to learn from them!
Er... I

m not sure we should
really be taking cues from
them...

Pleased to meet you, everyone, and hello to those of you whom I’ve met
before.
I’m Akira Ohata, a game designer for this book.
At the time of writing, I’m headed for Kadokawa’s conference room in
Iidabashi, Tokyo.
Why, you ask? To record a replay.
A replay is a written transcript of people playing a tabletop role-playing
game. Since Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (or just
Konosuba) is becoming a TRPG, we’ve decided to put a replay into the
rule book so you can use it as a reference.
I may not need to explain this to those reading, but Konosuba is a
mega-popular media project spanning novels, manga, anime, and
computer games. On top of that, the creator himself is participating
as a player!
The other players joining him are also famous novelists!
…To be honest with you, I’m pretty nervous.
Bracing myself, I open the conference-room door, greet everyone with
a cheerful hello, and then…
“Whoa, it’s the real Ohata-sensei!”
“I never thought I’d be able to meet him in person like this!!”
…Huh?
“We’re actually tabletop RPG buddies, and we play together all the
time!”
“We play Arianrhod RPG, too!”
“I always read the replays you’re in, Ohata-san.”
…Wh-what?!
“I’ve been a fan since before Bennett was even wearing armor!”

* * *
Bennett, incidentally, was a player character who appeared in a replay
for a tabletop role-playing game called Arianrhod.
If anyone’s interested, you can probably find the e-book if you do an
internet search for Arianrhod Replay.
That aside…I certainly did not expect the players to fawn over me the
first chance they got. (laughs)
With that, allow me to introduce the players who gave me such a
warm reception.
Natsume Akatsuki
He’s primarily known for the novel series Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This
Wonderful World!. In other words, he’s the progenitor of Konosuba TRPG.
He also wrote the manga Kemono Michi (illustrated by Mattakumo-suke
and Yumeuta).
Blitz/Kiva
This author is primarily known for the novel series Paying to Win
in a VRMMO. They wrote the manga Grand Lingerie (illustrated by
Elel Yozakura).
Tappei Nagatsuki
He’s primarily known for the novel series Re:ZERO: -Starting Life in Another
World- (Re:ZERO for short).
Teren Mikami
This author is primarily known for the novel series Yuusha Isagi no
Maoutan. They wrote the manga Otomebare (illustrated by Rouka).
Lastly, I, Akira Ohata, will be serving as the GM.
Akira Ohata
He’s primarily known for his game design work on Tsurugi no Ma-
chi no Ihoujin TRPG. He’s also worked on the listings and descriptions
for several other tabletop role-playing games and has appeared in
numerous replays. His standout character is, as mentioned previously,
Bennett, who appeared in the Arianrhod TRPG replay series.
These are the five members of the group we’ll be playing with.

■PREVIEW
The adventurers embark on their first-ever excursion.
After accepting a quest from the Adventurers Guild, they set off to
cull some Giant Toads.
However, a conspiracy lurks in the shadows behind this seemingly
innocuous job.
What awaits them on their first adventure?
Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! TRPG
“Fortune on This First Adventure”
GM: …And that’s the preview of the scenario we’ll be playing today!
All: (whistling)
Akatsuki: We’re slaying some Giant Toads, huh?
GM: That’s right. This will be all your characters’ first adventure. And we’ll
be starting off with everyone having already grouped up to form a party.
Mikami: Sounds good.
Nagatsuki: I’ve already had a look at the data, too. Some real good stuff
I already want to get. (laughs)
Blitz/Kiva: Ditto! (laughs)
GM: Wow, you two must love digging into the details of games, huh?
(laughs)
CHARACTER CREATION
First, we print out the character sheets in the rule book to create
the player characters.
GM: There are two ways to create a character in Konosuba TRPG. The first
is to use a ready-made sample character to get started right away. The
second is to construct your own character with whatever stats and in-
formation you want. I’d recommend the quick start approach if you’re
in a hurry, but those who want to take their time building the perfect
character will want to go for construction.
Blitz/Kiva: I want to make my own! (everyone laughs)
Replay Section
1111
Akatsuki: There’s all this good info here, so I’d like to try out a bunch of
things for myself.
Nagatsuki: Yes, absolutely. I can’t wait to see how much of what I’m
dreaming up is possible in Konosuba TRPG. (laughs)
GM: Then let’s create your characters from scratch.
Blitz/Kiva: I can’t wait!
After that, we examine what classes, skills, and other things are avail-
able and create the players’ characters.
For more about character creation in Konosuba TRPG, please consult
Konosuba TRPG

This page will explain the process you go through
when creating a character from scratch. The play-
ers in the replay followed this process to create
their characters.
Choose a Race
Player characters (sometimes referred to as PCs)
in Konosuba TRPG will choose from one of the
following three races: Reincarnated Person, Native
Inhabitant, and Crimson Magic Clan Member.
▼Base ability scores
Choose a race to determine your base ability
scores and fill these out in the appropriate column
on your character sheet.
▼Bonus points
You get five bonus points to allocate to your base
ability scores. After allocating them, determine
each base ability score’s ability bonus by dividing
the ability score by three and rounding down. Fill
these out in the appropriate column on your char-
acter sheet. (Example: A base ability score of 9, 10,
or 11 would yield an ability bonus of 3.)
Choose a Class
Choose any one of the twelve classes. Some
options include: Warrior, Priest, Wizard, Thief,
Adventurer, Archer, and Rune Knight.
Choose Skills
Select which skills you want your character to have.
▼Racial skills
Acquire one skill from those provided by your cho-
sen race. It must be labeled as Timing: On creation.
▼General skills
Acquire two general skills at level 1.
▼Class skills
Acquire 5 levels’ worth of skills from your class
skills. During character creation, no single skill can
be above level 2.
Determining Your Final Stats
Your chosen class and skills may provide increas-
es to certain ability bonuses. Fill these out in the
appropriate columns on your character sheet.
This will determine your ability scores, which you
should also fill out in the appropriate column.
Acquiring Items
Characters possess 500 KE in spending money
upon creation. Before beginning the game, pur-
chase any weapons, armor, and other items neces-
sary for adventuring from the item lists.
Secondary Ability Scores
Determine your secondary ability scores, used
mostly for combat, from your ability scores and
your equipment:
▼Maximum Hit Points (HP)
Max HP = Base Strength Ability Score + Class’s
Starting HP + Any Modifiers from Skills
▼Maximum Magic Points (MP)
Max MP = Base Mind Ability Score + Class’s Start-
ing MP + Any Modifiers from Skills
▼Action Points
Action Points = Agility Ability Score + Perception
Ability Score + Any Action Point Modifiers from
Equipment + Any Modifiers from Skills
▼Movement
Movement = Strength Ability Score + 5 + Any
Movement Modifiers from Equipment + Any Mod-
ifiers from Skills
Blessings
Blessings are powers that will let you stand against
fate—or make it your ally. Main characters in sto-
ries will always have Blessings.
On creation, a player character has five Blessings.
Deciding on a Background
Your character’s Background includes their name,
age, and gender, as well as past accomplishments
or adventuring goals.
▼Life Path
A character’s Life Path represents their personal
history. It comprises their Origin, Circumstances,
and Goals. You can determine each of them by us-
ing the corresponding lists, either picking entries
randomly or by choice.
•Origin: Describes things like where your character
is from
• Circumstance: What kind of circumstances your
character was in
• Goal: What your character’s objective is
For character origins, there is a separate list for
each race.
▼Name, gender, age
Players may decide their character’s name, gender,
and age at will. Figuring out their external appear-
ance will also be useful.

ACQUIRING CHEATS
GM: Now I’d like to confirm something with everyone.
Blitz/Kiva: What is it?
GM: I’ve put together a certain game mechanic that will let us recreate
the original work more faithfully.
All: Oooh!
GM: This game actually has an optional rule.
Blitz/Kiva: What kind of optional rule?
GM: In order to replicate the original world of Konosuba, there are…
cheats, of a kind, available to you.
All: Cheats?!
Nagatsuki: You mean the stuff that’s always in isekai stories? Like be-
coming invincible by using modern knowledge, or coming back from
the dead when killed?!
GM: Yes, exactly that. There’s even a Return by Death option here.
Nagatsuki: I want to use that!
Return by Death is the name of the special ability the main character
of Re:ZERO has.
GM: However, these options all pretty much break the game balance…
Mikami: How so?
GM: While cheats can power up your characters with unique skills and
strong items, if I pit you against an enemy made to counter them, I could
accidentally wipe the party… It’s perfectly possible.
Akatsuki: I…I see…
Mikami: So that’s what you meant.
GM: Still, they’re useful options for making things more like Konosuba,
so I’d like you to responsibly decide for yourselves whether you want to
use them.
Akatsuki: Let’s use them!
GM: All right, then. Each of you can choose one.
CHARACTER SELF-INTRODUCTIONS
Eventually, we finish making everyone’s characters. I’ve decided to have
each player introduce their character.

CLARION HEAT GILBERT
Player: Natsume Akatsuki
GM: Let’s start with Akatsuki-sensei’s
character.
Akatsuki: Okay. My character’s
name is Clarion Heat Gilbert. He’s
a Priest from the Axis sect, and his
race is Native Inhabitant—born and
raised in this world.
GM: Oh, a Native Inhabitant, huh?
Akatsuki (hereafter “Gilbert”):
He’s seventeen years old. His Origin
is Secret Agent. Despite being born
the sixth son of an aristocratic fami-
ly, he was told to investigate the Eris
Church and ended up infiltrating it.
Even now, he adventures in order to
take the church down.
GM: He’d be fine making an enemy
of the Eris sect—the largest religion
in the world, huh?
Gilbert: His Circumstance says he
has a “best friend,” apparently, so he’s
someone in this party’s best friend.
(laughs)
GM: Wonderful. We’ll decide who
will be your best friend once charac-
ter introductions are done.
Gilbert: His Goal is defeat the De-
mon King. He received a divine rev-
elation while trying to prevent the
Church of Eris from distributing rice
to the poor.
Mikami: …The Eris Church didn’t
do anything wrong, did they?
Gilbert: Well, I believe they’re evil.
Character Level: 1
Race: Native Inhabitant
Class: Priest
Life Path:
Origin: Secret Agent
Circumstance: Best Friend Goal: Demon King
Cheat: Villainous Energy
A Native Inhabitant Priest. Descended from
nobles but became a follower of the Axis sect,
which worships the goddess Aqua. Now works
against the largest religion, the Church of Eris, in
various ways. Has a scary face and few friends.

Now that I’ve received divine guidance, I’m going on a journey to fell the
Demon King, spreading terrible rumors about the Church of Eris as I go.
Mikami: What did you choose for your cheat?
Gilbert: I went with Villainous Energy, so I have a super-scary face.
(laughs)
GM: His face is so scary, he can cause an opponent to fumble a check
once per scenario.
Blitz/Kiva: That’s strong! Can’t wait to see it.
GM: In exchange, he has to pay twice the going rate for any items he
purchases, since people want to avoid him.
Nagatsuki: Ahh, because he can’t get merchants to sell to him. (laughs)
Gilbert: And his Circumstance is Best Friend even though he has no
friends.
GM: I see—I get it. (laughs)
CHIHO SUZUKI
Player: Blitz/Kiva
GM: Then let’s move on to Blitz/Kiva’s character introduction.
Blitz/Kiva: Okay. My character’s name is Chiho Suzuki. She’s a seven-
teen-year-old girl reincarnated into this world from modern-day Japan.
Her class is Adventurer.
GM: Thank you—it’s easier to explain to the readers what an isekai story
is like when one of the players is a Reincarnated Person. (laughs)
Blitz/Kiva (hereafter “Chiho”): The cool thing is that the Adventurer
class can have skills from other classes!
Nagatsuki: That’s a pretty attractive prospect!
Gilbert: But it must have a drawback, right? (laughs)
GM: As a bonus, the Adventurer class has the Additional Blessings skill by
default, which gives them one extra Blessing!
All: Oooh!! (laughs)
Chiho: My Circumstance is Sickly, and because of her illness, she tended
to shut herself in. She liked watching videos on the Internet, but she hap-
pened to go out one day for a walk while watching one on her smart-
phone. And then, just as expected, she gets hit by a truck and reincarnat-
ed. That’s why her Origin is Video.
GM: Don’t walk while looking at your smartphone, kids! (laughs)
Replay Section

Chiho: And then the goddess
Aqua gave her new life. After Chiho
praised her name up and down,
Aqua made her physically stronger,
too, and now she’s really healthy.
(laughs)
Gilbert: Ahh, Aqua would probably
do that. (laughs)
Chiho: Her cheat is Sacred Trea-
sure Holder: Weapon. With Aqua in
a good mood after all the brown-
nosing, Chiho was given the giant,
powerful sword named Clarent. It’s
a great sword with the adjustments
in Sacred Treasure Holder: Weapon
applied to it. Chiho’s Goal is Quest—
she was told to use the sword to
defeat the Demon King.
Nagatsuki: Aqua’s certainly asking
a lot of someone who only recently
became hale and hearty!
Chiho: Chiho doesn’t think it’s a lot.
Also, her sword is so big that she
can’t carry it, so it’s hooked to her
waist with a chain.
GM: The main disadvantage is that
without the Sacred Treasure, Chiho
gets −2d6 on all checks, so it makes
sense.
Chiho: That’s why it never leaves
her side. She has a lot of skills from
other classes, too. I want to show
everyone how good the Adventurer
class is.
GM: Excellent. Thank you.

OTOHIME MITARAI
Player: Tappei Nagatsuki
GM: Mr. Nagatsuki, would you mind introducing your character now?
Nagatsuki: Yes, my PC’s name is Otohime Mitarai.
GM: …And he’s male?
Nagatsuki (hereafter Otohime): Yes, he’s a nineteen-year-old Reincar-
nated Person Warrior. His parents named him Otohime, even though it’s
a feminine name, purely because they liked how it sounded.
GM: Ah, so one of those I named you after a character names.
Otohime: Yes. Despite his moniker, he’s tall and good-looking. He thinks
carefully about everything, in purposeful contrast to his parents, who
decided their child’s name so arbitrarily. He always considers every angle.
Chiho: Let’s not give our children cheap names, shall we? (laughs)
Otohime: His Origin is Truck. While always excessively cautious, one
day, he spotted a girl walking with her eyes down on her smartphone…
(everyone laughs)
Chiho: You mean my Chiho?!
Otohime: Is that all right?
Chiho: Of course!
Otohime: It was the only shocking thing that had ever happened to him
in his life. And then to top it all off, he died. The whole thing was kind of
traumatizing for him.
GM: I would think dying once is enough.
Otohime: His Circumstance is Goddess’s Secret. He was given the cheat
Return by Death from the goddess Aqua, but he really, really doesn’t
want to die. The downside of it is that if he uses it, he loses a Blessing.
Gilbert: To think the writer of Re:ZERO would refuse the ability to come
back to life… (laughs)
GM: You can return from death, but you still don’t want to die. I get it.
Otohime: He has no actual Goal—other than surviving!
GM: I sense he has a strong will. Moving on…
TEMIREN
Player: Teren Mikami
GM: Mikami, would you introduce your character please?
Replay Section

Mikami: All right… My name is
Temiren! Daughter of the greatest
bathhouse owner of the Crimson
Magic Clan!!
Gilbert: Someone from the Crim-
son Magic Clan, huh? And named
Temiren… (laughs)
Chiho: Sounds like a name I’ve
heard somewhere before.
Mikami (hereafter Temiren): She’s
a sixteen-year-old girl whose class
is Wizard. Her Origin is Spell-Caster,
so she was likely trying to become
a higher-class Arch-wizard while
studying as a Wizard.
GM: I see, I see.
Temiren: I grew incredibly bored
of the stagnant lives of the Crimson
Magic Clan. And somewhere along
the way, I encountered shoujo man-
ga.
GM: Shoujo manga?!
Temiren: Well, my Circumstance is
Quiet Life. Now Temiren is totally ad-
dicted to shoujo manga and adores
them. (laughs)
Otohime: So while she was bored
of her humdrum existence, she
found shoujo manga and got ad-
dicted to all the thrills in them.
Temiren: She idolizes that sort of ro-
mance—and then she abruptly met
a certain man with a mean-looking
face. (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: I see!
Temiren: In shoujo manga, no char-
acter with such a frightening visage

is actually a bad person! It’s common sense!
GM: I guess that does happen pretty often in shoujo manga.
Temiren: And since that happened, I’d like to say that I invited Gilbert on
an adventure.
Gilbert: Sure, let’s go with that.
Temiren: My Goal is Friendship. It’s still not clear whether Temiren’s
meeting with Gilbert will turn into something more, though.
Gilbert: It’s right out of a shoujo manga. (laughs)
Temiren: Her cheat is Destructive Magic Power. She can trigger magic
that’s specialized in destruction. Once per scenario, I can get +10d6 to
the damage of a magic attack.
Gilbert: That’s some firepower…
Temiren: In exchange, the magic attack costs twice as much. It drains a
lot of MP.
GM: Thank you. Since we’ve finished our self-introductions, let’s move
on.
CHOOSING LIFESTYLES
GM: Now it’s time to decide on your Lifestyles.
Otohime: Lifestyles?
GM: It’s a rule where each character chooses a standard of living, and
they’re given starting money in accordance with what they do.
Temiren: Question! If we live together, does that reduce our cost of liv-
ing?!
GM: Unfortunately, no. (laughs)
Temiren: Oh… I wanted to stay with Chiho and Oto to reduce expen-
ditures.
GM: The rules don’t allow any clever plans to reduce upkeep. (laughs)
Lifestyles can range from living as royalty to residing in a stable. It also
gives modifiers to your HP and MP.
Temiren: I’ll settle for insisting that Gil and I stay in suites then. (laughs)
Gilbert: …To be honest, I want to be staying there as royalty. The Axis
sect values don’t worry about tomorrow until tomorrow comes thinking,
after all.
GM: Talk about a shortsighted philosophy. (laughs)
Temiren: Basically, you can do anything you want, aside from crime.
Gilbert: Still, I’ll tolerate what Temiren wants, since I did get that divine

revelation and everything.
Temiren: My prince and I will live
economy-style. It’s the picture-
perfect scene! How wonderful! ♪
Chiho: I’ll go with economy, too!
Otohime: I’m fine with living simply.
Keeps costs down.
GM: All right. Now that you’ve all
decided on a Lifestyle, let’s move on
to the next thing.
FORMING A PARTY
GM: Now that everyone has
created a character and decided on
a Lifestyle, we’ll be starting in a state
where you’ve already formed your
party. So let’s decide in advance
how everyone met.
Temiren: I was with Gil from the
beginning.
Chiho: And Chiho and Otohime
were together, too.
Otohime: I doubt I’d like it, so let’s
say you’re forcing me to come along
with you.
Chiho: In that case, Otohime and
I probably join up with Gilbert and
Temiren after hearing they’re trying
to defeat the Demon King. We were
told to do the same thing by the
goddess Aqua, so joining forces is
probably for the best.
Otohime: Aqua might have told us
directly, too. Aqua’s sort of hanging
around here now. (everyone laughs)

The players might be able to meet the goddess Aqua herself if she
happens to be hanging around.
Chiho: …W-well, still, we’ll need to save up money to live in this world.
Otohime: That’s right. And the fastest way to do that is manual labor.
Gilbert: On our side, we can say that Temiren is the one who started
following me.
Temiren: A man suddenly showed up with a scary face. I figured he was
my destined soul mate, so…! (laughs)
Gilbert: Temiren, eh? That name is pretty tough to wrap my head around.
I demand to see the one who invented the Crimson Magic Clan’s weird
aesthetics!
All: It was you!! (everyone laughs)
GM: Playing dumb like only the original creator could.
Chiho: …Anyway, lots of stuff is going on, but Chiho and Otohime have
been looking at the job postings! …Does that work, GM?
GM: Yes, that should be fine.
Having gotten the player characters’ backstories hammered out, it’s
time for the GM to do what a GM does.
The setup is all finished. Finally, the adventure will begin, starting with
the Opening Phase.

Opening 1: A Request to Slay Toads
Axel—the town where fledgling adventurers gather.
Among so many others are four particular figures, about to embark on
their first journey…
GM: Time for the Opening Phase. The first Scene will start with you all
heading to the Adventurers Guild in Axel and taking on a quest.
All: Okay!
GM: You’ve already learned the basics of what it means to be adventur-
ers, so your eyes probably go to the job postings on the board pretty
naturally.
Gilbert: Well, it is our daily routine.
Otohime: I run to the quest board, then proceed to ignore any that
involve dungeons. They’re too dangerous—I don’t want to go in dun-
geons! (laughs)
Chiho: Hey, don’t you think you’re being too cautious?
Gilbert: Hmm… Is there a quest meant for a first-level party anywhere?
GM: As you peruse the board, others come and pick quests until you’re
left with just one.
Otohime: Oh. I guess we’ll have to go with that. Must be something
pretty safe—something that didn’t get any other adventurers excited.
Chiho: That’s a bad thing, you know.
GM: Here is the quest.
◆Quest Description
“Slay the Giant Toads”
Type: Eliminate
Limit: 3 days
Reward: 100 KE +
Requirements: None
Details: “Giant Toads have come down from the mountains and are
attacking the farms. Please get rid of them.”
Clear Conditions: Defeat at least 4 Giant Toads (page 280) before the
end of the Climax Phase.
Opening Phase
Konosuba TRPG

Quest Effects: None
Note: Eris is a form of currency. For reference, 1 eris equates to about
1 yen. KE stands for kiloeris, and one of them is worth 1,000 eris.
Otohime: Giant Toads, huh? I wonder how big they actually are. (playing
dumb)
Chiho: They’re toads, so they can’t be larger than a meter or so, right?
(also playing dumb)
They’re pretending, as reincarnated characters, that they don’t know.
The players are familiar with the Konosuba series, so they know what Gi-
ant Toads are like, but their characters don’t.
Otohime: Even so, they’re still attacking farms. And we need to kill
four—won’t that be dangerous?
Chiho: Then I will take three of them.
All: Ooooh! (impressed)
Gilbert: …Will you be okay, Chiho?
Chiho: I’m totally different from the girl I used to be. Now that I’ve been
reborn into a healthy body, I want to use that strength to swing this giant
sword around to my heart’s content.
Otohime: Who’s going to slay the last one?
Chiho: … (looks at Otohime with expectant eyes)
Otohime: Wh-what are you looking at me like that for? Frogs that can
attack farms? That’s way too dangerous!
Chiho: I’m sure a toad or two will be quick work for the one who saved
Chiho.
Otohime: Wait—I didn’t save you! We just got reincarnated instead of
dying.
Chiho: Not only did you save me, but I also got a healthy body after
being reborn.
GM: While you two are discussing that, the Adventurers Guild reception-
ist comes over. “Will you be taking on that request?”
Otohime: We’re carefully considering it.
GM: “It is an urgent quest, so please decide quickly.”
Chiho: It does have a limit of three days, after all.
Otohime: The person who made the request must want a quick reso-

lution, too.
Temiren: (to Gilbert) My prince, my prince!
Gilbert: Are you talking to me?
Temiren: Yes, because you’re my prince, Gil. I’m going to call you that
forever.
Gilbert: I see. I’m probably not used to it yet.
Temiren: You always want to take on those dark, unglamorous quests
that involve the undead and stuff. Let’s go beat up some Giant Toads for
once! Toads!
Gilbert: Toads, eh…? I wasn’t feeling it, but then I got a divine revelation.
In Aqua’s voice: “Thou shalt slay the toads.” (everyone laughs)
Chiho: And if she’s saying so, it’s got to be the truth.
Gilbert: It was divine providence! I accept this request!
Temiren: You’re always so passionate, my prince.
Gilbert: I get on top of a table and declare to all the other adventurers
there: “Hear me, one and all! The goddess Aqua has designated that all
toads are her enemy!”
Chiho: Then we’ll accept the quest. Does the receptionist have any other
words of caution for us?
GM: “Only that we’d like you to resolve this swiftly. I think it’s the perfect
quest for adventurers of your level.”
Temiren: Then let’s all go get rid of those Giant Toads together!
Otohime: If someone’s in need, there’s no choice…I guess…
Chiho: Did you not want to come along, Otohime? We’ll be gone for
three whole days. You might die of starvation in the meantime.
Otohime: Th-that’s right! If I’m with you all, I’ll at least have food to eat!
Gilbert: What kind of gear did Otohime have again?
Otohime: Protective clothing, sorta?
GM: Protective wear brought from modern Japan? In this world, it might
look like metal armor.
Gilbert: In that case, I’ll tell Otohime that toads don’t eat metal.
Otohime: Ahh, I see! That’s a relief!
Temiren: Everyone’s so good at handling Oto.
Gilbert: We’re all on the same page then! We accept.
GM: “Good luck out there!”
Temiren: Bye! We’ll be back soon!

Middle 1: Before Setting Off on the Adventure
The party has accepted a quest from the Adventurers Guild to extermi-
nate some Giant Toads.
However, there’s one thing they absolutely need to do before setting
out.
GM: Now, you’ll be leaving soon, but…
Gilbert: GM, I think there’s something we need to do before that!
GM: Oh? And what would that be?
Gilbert: Can we go shopping?
Otohime: Ohhh, good on you for realizing that! Shopping is crucial. We
should be able to gain an advantage if we pool our money!
Chiho: Always go shopping before an adventure. Especially when
you’re low-level. It’ll raise your survival rate.
Temiren: The round-trip journey will take a day, so we can use the re-
maining two days to take care of the toads. Do we have time for shop-
ping?
Otohime: Are Giant Toads nocturnal? It’s morning now, so if it takes half
a day to get there… I guess it’s not possible to get back on the second
day.
Gilbert: I wonder. You can’t rely on time and geography being consistent
in this world… (laughs)
The original creator said so himself.
GM: Let’s say there’s time to go shopping.
All: Hooray!
GM: (showing them the item lists) These are the items you can buy while
shopping.
Chiho: In that case, I’ll buy two manatite (XS) to recover MP.
Temiren: You use that much MP?
Chiho: When I use Heal, yes.
GM: You could also buy them for someone who uses them a lot.
Middle Phase

Chiho: And I might get Gil’s Bless skill on me at some point.
After discussion, Chiho buys 2 manatite (XS) items. She has the money
for them.
Otohime: …Chiho, there’s no telling if we’ll come back from this alive, so
there’s something I want to tell you while I have the chance.
Chiho: Wh-what is it?
Otohime: Well, back when you got hit by the truck, I tried to…
Chiho: …Ah. I know. (everyone laughs)
Otohime: My heart just skipped a beat!
GM: Chiho doesn’t mind, huh?
Chiho: No, since it’s thanks to that whole ordeal that I’m healthy now.
Otohime: …Otohime’s probably mentioned this numerous times be-
fore.
Temiren: So Oto has been worried about it this whole time, but Chiho
is actually thankful.
Otohime: I can’t believe she went through that and doesn’t care at all. I
hope that doesn’t mean she’ll be careless going forward…
Chiho: Just leave it to Chiho! My Oath Skill will protect you, Otohime. It’ll
give me +1d6 on attack damage.
Oath Skill
While the user’s target is in the same Scene, the user gains 1d6 to all their
attack damage. This effect lasts until the end of the scenario.
This skill allows the user to swear an oath to fight with everything they
have for the sake of one person.
Otohime: I’m guilty for letting you die, so I’m fine with being the tar-
get of your Oath Skill. As long as it doesn’t affect my survival! (everyone
laughs)
GM: Then Chiho’s Oath Skill’s target is now set to Otohime.
Temiren: Urk, now I’m jealous! I grab Gil’s arm and say, “Come over here,
my prince!” and then I pound the wall right next to him!
All: The kabedon! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: Wh-wh-wh-what do you want?!
Temiren: Come on, give me a little something! I’m so jealous of those

Gilbert: I swear, you Crimson Magic Clan people are unbelievable…
Temiren: Come on, come on! Just a little bit…
Gilbert: I smack her! (everyone laughs)
All: You smack her?!
Gilbert: I’ll beat some sense into you myself!
Temiren: …Ow! But…you still were kind enough to show some effort
when I asked you to!
Everyone seems to be getting along.
Gilbert: …Wh-what a disaster.
Chiho: What’s wrong?
Gilbert: As a follower of Axis, I’ve never felt this powerless. My strength
has no effect at all on Temiren. She’s hopeless…
Chiho: Everything you do ends up being a reward for her.
Gilbert: (praying) Lady Aqua, please grant me your aid. Please let this
Crimson Magic Clan Member become a proper person.
Chiho: Bet Lady Aqua’s listening from right behind us. (laughs)
GM: Well, Gilbert doesn’t know Aqua is in town. (laughs)
Otohime: Anyway, if we defeat the Giant Toads, that will satisfy her, right?
Gilbert: Yeah. I will not yield!
GM: Okay. Once you’re done shopping, it’ll be time to set out.
Otohime: Are we going there on foot? I feel like walking would be dan-
gerous. Could injure our knees, or… (muttering)
Gilbert: Well, we don’t have the cash to buy a carriage.
Temiren: You can just leave Oto be.
Chiho: …I guess that’s it—we’re done shopping. (laughs)
GM: Now that you’re finished shopping and you’ve set off for the Giant
Toad extermination, we’ll end the Scene. Or rather, please let me end it.

all is not as it seems.
GM: Next Scene. You’ve arrived at the farm that made the request. It took
you about half a day to get into the mountains from town.
Gilbert: What’s the situation like?
GM: There are animals here, like cows and pigs, but they have tongues
wrapped around their bodies, and they’re being yanked away. You see
Giant Toads, bigger than the livestock, behind them. There are three in
total.
Otohime: They’re that massive?!
Chiho: I didn’t realize Giant Toads would be this giant.
Otohime and Chiho continue this lighthearted role-playing for a bit.
Gilbert: All of them are enemies of the goddess! Kill them! I grab my
mace in one hand and run!
Temiren: Yes, my prince! ♪
Chiho: Yes, my health!
And so the player characters enter combat.
Otohime: Hey, wait! Shouldn’t you all be a little more careful about this?!
Chiho: But we already resolved to act.
Otohime: Don’t you have anything to prepare before facing the Giant
Toads?!
Gilbert: No. I have faith in my divine patron!
Otohime: I see… But those Giant Toads—they’re not just overgrown
amphibians, are they?!
Chiho: I mean, that’s what they look like.
Otohime: No, well, they’re giant, but… This is totally different from what
I pictured. In my mind, they weren’t swallowing cows and pigs whole.
Chiho: Well, you’ll have to broaden your understanding little by little
over the course of this adventure.
Otohime: But these are the first things we fight? Isn’t it usually goblins
or something small?
Gilbert: There’s plenty of enemies in the world besides goblins.
Otohime: This is why I hate isekai! (everyone laughs)

of how to make checks, for the replay. But you were all so smooth about it
that I missed my chance. (laughs)
Chiho: Akatsuki-san (Gilbert) seems to be having fun, so we’re just meet-
ing him halfway. (laughs)
GM: It certainly seems like it. In that case, readers, the procedure for
making checks will be explained on its own page, so please refer to that.
(laughs) Let’s get into battle.
Replay Section
31
In Konosuba TRPG, characters go on adventures
and take a variety of actions with uncertain out-
comes. You roll dice to perform action checks,
which decide if an action succeeds or fails.
■Basic Checks and Opposition Checks
Checks come in two forms: basic checks and op-
position checks.
Basic Checks
Basic checks form one of the fundamental rules of
the game. You use the following process to per-
form them.
▼Declare a check
When a player wishes to do something with an
uncertain outcome, the GM decides what ability
score to use for that check based on the situation.
For example, if a player were trying to lift a heavy
object, the GM would determine that the check
would use Strength. If a player were trying to no-
tice something, they might use Perception.
▼Difficulty decision
For every basic check, the GM sets a difficulty level,
or DL, to represent how challenging success is.
Refer to the Difficulty Level Table on page 205 for
how to measure difficulty.
▼Perform a dice roll
A dice roll is a general term for the act of rolling
one or more dice. For checks, the player rolls 2
six-sided dice (2d6). Certain situations, character
conditions, or skills may allow a player to roll more
dice.
▼Critical
If any two of the dice rolled come up as sixes,
the check automatically succeeds. This is called a
critical, or rolling a critical.
▼Fumble
If any two of the dice rolled come up as ones, the
check automatically fails. This is called a fumble, or
rolling a fumble.
▼Calculating the total score for the check
After rolling, add the designated ability score to
the dice roll. This is the total score for the check,
and it determines how effective the player’s at-
tempt at the action is.
Total Check Score = Ability Score + 2d6
▼Success vs. failure
The GM compares the player’s total check score to
the check’s difficulty level. If the total score is equal
to or exceeds the difficulty level, the player has
passed the check, and the action succeeds. If it’s
less than the difficulty level, the action fails.
Difficulty Level ≤ Total Check Score = Basic Check
Pass
Difficulty Level > Total Check Score = Basic Check
Fail
Other Adjustments
The GM may modify the difficulty level, number of
dice, or the total check score based on the situa-
tion the character is currently in.
■Opposition Checks
An opposition check is used to determine the
results of one character making a basic check
against another character.
▼Action and reaction
When performing an opposition check, the char-
acters are split into an action side and a reaction
side, dubbed actors and reactors.
▼If the reactors cannot make a check
In some cases, those on the reaction side will not
be able to perform a check. If this happens, their
total check score is automatically treated as 0.
▼Victory and defeat
Once the action side and reaction side have both
rolled and determined their total check score,
decide the outcome of the opposition check.
Whichever character has the higher total check
score wins, and that character’s action succeeds.
This is called winning the check, or simply
victory. Otherwise, the character will lose the
check (or be defeated).
▼Reaction priority
If the actor and reactor get the same total check
score, the reactor wins. This is called the rule of
reaction priority. It’s also used when both players
roll a critical.
▼Fumble
If the action side fumbles, the reaction side doesn’t
need to make a check; they automatically win. If
the reaction side fumbles, the action side wins. If
you need a total check score for a character who
has rolled a fumble, use 0.

■BEGINNING COMBAT
GM: All right, we’re entering the first round of combat.
Gilbert: Great! Let’s do it! For Lady Aqua!
About Combat in Konosuba TRPG
Combat in Konosuba TRPG takes place over a series of rounds. During
these rounds, players and NPCs will move, attack, defend, etc. to simulate
battle.
Please refer to the summary for more details.
FIRST ROUND
GM: First, the setup—the three Giant Toads are in a single group. The
group is called an Engagement.
Gilbert: We players understand it, but let’s explain things for the readers,
too.
GM: Yes, that would help me out. (laughs)
Chiho: If they’re all in the same place, that means we can take them all
out with area-of-effect attacks!
Otohime: But if we go into their midst, we’ll then be Engaged and will
have put ourselves in a position where the three Giant Toads can attack
us, too.
GM: That’s right… You really know a lot about this. I planned for your
characters to be placed as a single Engagement in a position five meters
from the three Giant Toads’ Engagement, but…
Otohime: I got left behind, huh? (laughs)
GM: Yes. The others all ran on ahead, so… Let’s have Gilbert be two
meters from the Giant Toads, Temiren and Chiho are five meters away,
and Otohime will be ten meters from them.
Chiho: Changing the combat positions because the players said some-
thing? This really is Konosuba-like.
Gilbert: Yeah, with the GM using rule arbitration when we do something
silly.
GM: Let’s take care of the Setup Process.
Replay Section
33
Replay Section
33
Combat in Konosuba TRPG takes place over a series
of rounds. Here is an explanation of the process
that players will follow during a fight.
Rounds
Combat is divided into rounds.
Each round is made up of 4 different stages: the
Setup Process, followed by multiple Initiative Pro-
cesses and Main Processes, and finally, the Clean-
up Process.
▼Ready
A ready character is one who hasn’t had their Main
Process this round.
▼Spent
A spent character is one who has already had their
Main Process this round.
▼Knocked out
A knocked-out character is unable to continue
combat. Any character who is knocked out cannot
take any actions or make any checks until they are
no longer knocked out.
▼Death
When a knocked-out character fails their death
check, that character dies. Dead characters are re-
moved from the game.
◆Setup Process
The GM should announce the beginning of the
round and confirm which characters are in the
Scene and where. All present characters are now
in a ready state and gain the ability to act during
this round (during their Main Process).
◆Initiative Process
Select the next ready character to act based on
descending order of Action Points. If all characters
are spent, go to the Cleanup Process.
◆Main Process
The character selected during the Initiative Pro-
cess may then take a move action, minor action,
and major action in that order. Once that char-
acter’s Main Process is done, they become spent.
Then the game returns to the Initiative Process.
▼Move action
Move actions are used mainly for exactly that—
movement. There are several types: combat move-
ment, full movement, and withdrawal.
•Combat movement: moving cautiously within
the thick of battle
•Full movement: moving at max speed; sprinting
•Withdrawal: moving to leave an Engagement
▼Minor action
Minor actions mainly comprise preparing for, sup-
porting, or strengthening a major action.
▼Major action
Major actions are usually attacks. Checks can only
be performed as major actions.
◆Cleanup Process
The Cleanup Process is for handling things that
come with the end of a round. Once that’s fin-
ished, if combat has not ended, move to the Setup
Process for the next round.
Reactions
Actions taken in response to major actions, such as
defending against an attack, are called reactions.
Free Actions
Actions that can be taken just by telling the GM
that you wish to do so. These don’t use any other
actions.
You can use one free action per Main Process.

GM: We’re now in the Setup Process for
the first round. Does anyone have a skill
they can use at this time?
All: Not really.
GM: The monsters don’t, either. After
the Setup Process comes the Initiative
Process. During this part, we decide
which ready character—that is, a char-
acter who hasn’t acted yet this round—
will take the next Main Process.
Chiho: The one with the most Action Points is…Gilbert.
Gilbert: Great. Now that I’ve spotted my enemy, I run up to one and at-
tack it. I use a move action to move five meters and battle Giant Toad A. I
don’t do a minor action, and my major action is to attack with my mace.
“God’s strike!” When I add my Dexterity to my mace’s hit modifier, it gives
me a hit check of 3. I’ll roll 2d6 for it and add them up. (rolls dice) I rolled a
4! That brings the total score for my hit check to 7. What a low roll!
Otohime: Does that mean the toad dodged it…?
GM: Its dodge check is 2d6+3. (rolls dice) Whoops. I rolled an 11, so its
total score on the dodge check is 14!
Gilbert: What?! It’s so fast!
GM: The Giant Toad jumps out of the way, then starts dazzling you with
its incredible footwork.
Gilbert: My mace hits the ground and makes a little crater. “This…is no
normal toad!” (laughs)
GM: It sticks out its tongue and wags it as if making fun of you.
Otohime: Gilbert’s the decoy. We’ve got someone about to hit the mon-
sters with magic back here anyway!

Temiren: That’s right. And the Crimson Magic Clan never backs down
from a fight!
GM: The next character to act is Temiren.
Temiren: My name is Temiren! Daughter of the greatest bathhouse
owner in the Crimson Magic Clan. She who idealizes shoujo manga!
Temiren introduces herself in a very Crimson Magic Clan–like way!
Temiren: If I choose this area (points) for Magic Blast, I can hit all three
Giant Toads, right? My major action will be Freeze Gust.
Otohime: Can’t you choose up to four targets for Magic Blast? You could
hit Gil, too, if you wanted.
Temiren: I would never do that!
Otohime: But isn’t that how it usually goes? You get Gil wrapped up in it,
hurt him, and then nurse him back to health.
Temiren: Oh, maybe that would work! …What should I do? What am I
supposed to do?! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: …I believe in you, Temiren!
Temiren: Got it! I would never try and gain my prince’s affection with a
charade like that! (rolls dice) I rolled well. My hit check is 21.
GM: They’re probably not dodging that. (rolls dice) …Okay, definitely
not.
All three Giant Toads performed their own dodge checks, but none of
them could beat Temiren’s total score of 21.
Temiren: (rolls dice) It does 17 ice magic damage! And it gives them the
dazed debuff.
GM: Their Magic Defense is 2, so each of them takes 15 damage, plus the
dazed debuff.
Temiren: Now that they’re dazed, they’ll be zoning out, looking into
space.
Otohime: And while they’re befuddled, I charge in, since I have the same
number of Action Points as them!
GM: Yes—player characters always go first in the case of a tie with an
enemy’s Action Points.
Konosuba TRPG

Otohime: I use my move action and my minor action to do a full move-
ment and engage Giant Toad A. I’ve weighed the advantages and dis-
advantages of attacking now, and the advantages just barely win out…
Though, there’s no guarantee I won’t trip and die! “Leave this to me!” I say,
attacking Giant Toad A! (rolls dice) My hit check is 13.
GM: (rolls dice) They get a total score of 10, so they fail to dodge.
Otohime: (rolls dice) 15 points of physical damage.
GM: You do feel like you hurt it, but…it turns out the monster has a
skill called Special Physical Resistance. It has 8 extra points of Physical
Defense against certain types of attack—in this case, blunt and hand-
to-hand.
Otohime: Then when I swing…
GM: It bounces off. But you still did 2 damage.
Otohime: It blocked 13 damage?! “I was too hasty! I can’t believe I did all
this for nothing…” I start crying. “It’s all over! Everything! They’re going to
eat us! If only I hadn’t pulled this request off the quest board…” (every-
one laughs)
Temiren: We’re still okay, Oto! My prince will never get eaten! (laughs)
The only one Temiren is worried about is Gilbert.
GM: Now it’s the Giant Toads’ turn. They’ll use a skill called Swallow as
their move action. Their major action will be a hand-to-hand attack.
Otohime: They really are gonna eat us!! (everyone laughs)
GM: If they deal damage with an attack after using Swallow, both the
Giant Toad and the swallowed character will be unable to move or per-
form dodge checks.
Otohime: I don’t taste good!! You’d rather eat Gil! He’s been eating great
all his life!
Gilbert: No! Someone who was reincarnated here has that novelty they
probably crave!
Temiren: Ahh, what an ugly argument!! (laughs)
GM: Giant Toad A aims for Gil.
Temiren: My priiince!
Gilbert: I’ll be fine. They’re dazed.
GM: The dazed penalty means they can only roll 1 die for hit checks. (rolls

die) Its total score is 9.
Gilbert: (rolls dice) Total score for my dodge check is 9, too! (sighs in
relief) It’s the same, so I successfully dodge!
When the total scores for a hit check and the dodge check are the
same, the reactor doing the dodge always wins.
Gilbert: …Dodged just in the nick of time.
Temiren: My prince, you’re so cool!
Chiho: …Just making sure, but these are enemies meant for first-level
characters, right?
GM: They are supposed to be fairly weak, yes.
Otohime: And yet look at this bloodbath. (laughs)
GM: Giant Toad B also uses Swallow, trying to wrap its tongue around
you. (rolls dice) It attacks Otohime.
Otohime: Why me?! Please fumble the check!
GM: (rolls dice) It gets a total hit check score of 9.
Otohime: (rolls the dice) A fumble…?!
Fumbles and Criticals
If two of the dice rolled for a check come up as 1, the check automatically
fails regardless of its total score and is called a fumble.
On the other hand, if two of the dice rolled for a check come up as 6,
the check is called a critical and automatically succeeds.
Temiren: Otoooooooo?!
Chiho: Otohime!
GM: Giant Toad B gulps you right up. Your legs are the only things stick-
ing out of its mouth. (laughs)
Otohime: Uwaaahhh!
Otohime has been swallowed by a Giant Toad.
His legs flail from its mouth.
GM: Otohime is now unable to move or make dodge checks. Because
he’s swallowed, after all.

Otohime: Whaaat?!
Chiho: And now Gil’s words come back to him—about how toads don’t
eat metal armor…
Otohime: Gilbert! You tricked me! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: There’s no time for that right now!
Temiren: My prince already warned everyone that they weren’t normal
toads! He’s innocent!
Gilbert: D-did I…?
He did.
GM: If Otohime can pass a Strength check with a difficulty level of 12
during the Setup Process, he’ll successfully get himself out.
Otohime: That’s so high!
Chiho: Well, it’s not like you have zero chance.
Otohime: But I probably won’t be getting out of this toad’s stomach for
the rest of the fight… (laughs)
GM: And then Otohime takes damage. (rolls dice) 18 points of it.
Otohime: That’s so much! Even with all my defense, I still lose 2 HP.
Gilbert: Should I put up Saint Shield in that case?
Chiho: It would be more efficient to use Heal after the battle’s over, but…
Saint Shield is a Priest skill that reduces damage by erecting a magical
barrier, but in some cases, it costs less MP to use Heal after the battle
ends.
Gilbert: I’ll conserve MP. Just hang on, Otohime.
Otohime: A-all right. I’m trusting you…
GM: Giant Toad C attacks Gilbert. (rolls dice) 10 on the hit check.
Gilbert: (rolls dice) 10 on the dodge check. Got out of the way perfectly!
GM: You’re really cutting it close, huh?
Chiho: Last is Chiho’s turn. I use a full movement to engage Giant Toad
B and swing my claymore. For a brief moment, she’s worried she’ll hit
Otohime, but then she figures that’s fine with her and slashes with all
her might!
Otohime: You have to be kidding!

Chiho: It’s because I’m healthy!
Otohime: That’s not healthy—that’s having muscles instead of a brain!
GM: Don’t worry—the rules don’t say anything about accidentally
hitting Otohime. (laughs)
Chiho: (rolls dice) Okay, I hit. (rolls dice) 27 physical damage.
GM: Since you use a two-handed sword, the toad’s Special Physical
Resistance doesn’t come into play. It falls to exactly 0 HP and dies.
Chiho: Ohhh, I got it!
GM: When you take it down, it spits out Otohime. You were still swal-
lowed, though, so it uses Digest during the Cleanup Process and does 10
straight points of damage to you.
Temiren: …Aren’t these Giant Toads kinda strong?
Otohime: Let’s go home! (firmly)
Chiho: Because the toads only make noise after dark, and it’s time for us
to go home to our parents?
Otohime: Shut up! (laughs)
Temiren: It’s okay! My prince still hasn’t been hit!
Otohime: But look at what happened to me!

(rolls dice) 13 on the hit check.
GM: It all depends on the dice roll, then. (rolls dice) It gets a 7 on the
dodge check and fails it.
Gilbert: Am I going to damage it? (rolls dice) I hit it with my mace and
do 14 damage.
GM: It takes 1 point of that.
Temiren: Wow! My prince attacked, and it worked! The toad’s already
barely standing!
Gilbert: Only 1 damage went through…
Temiren: Hmm? Ahem. It’s barely standing! (laughs)
Gilbert: Witness the power of an Axis follower!
GM: The Giant Toad is looking at you like, What is up with this guy? (laughs)
Temiren: I’m up next. I’ll use Magic Blast, then Freeze Gust as my major
action. “This is my ultimate power! And I can’t use another one!” (rolls
dice) 15 on my hit check.
GM: Giant Toad A…(rolls dice)…dodges with a critical!
All: Whaaaaaaaat?!
Otohime: This…this is no normal toad!
Gilbert: It did dodge my attack before, too.
GM: Giant Toad C…(rolls dice)…fails to dodge.
Temiren: (rolls dice) 21 damage.
GM: With that damage…Giant Toad C just barely lives.
Otohime: Then I should finish Giant Toad C off. Leave this to me! Going
after weakened opponents is my specialty. (rolls dice) 14 on my hit check.
GM: (rolls dice) Dodge check is 9, so it fails.
Otohime: Great! (rolls dice) What? 9 damage?! That’s barely anything…
GM: Your attack bounces right off it.
Otohime: …I’m gonna die, aren’t I? (everyone laughs)
GM: Now it’s the Giant Toads’ Main Process. Giant Toad A, distraught after
the loss of its friend, attacks with Swallow.
Otohime: Gee, I wonder who it’s going to attack.
GM: I’ll roll and find out. (rolls dice) Hmm… It’ll go for Chiho.
Chiho: (gestures toward herself with her hand in a bring it on pose)
Otohime: Don’t rile it up! It hasn’t been hit by Freeze Gust, so it doesn’t
have any debuffs! (laughs)
Chiho: Not to worry—Chiho is really healthy.

Otohime: I don’t think that has anything to do with it! (laughs)
GM: It goes after Chiho, who looks easy enough to swallow whole. (rolls
dice) Good roll. It got a 15 on its hit check.
Chiho: Just need two sixes, right? I’m really healthy, so I’ll be fine. (rolls
dice) I fumbled it?! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: It’s because you got overconfident!
Fumbles happen even to the healthiest among us.
Otohime: Cover! …Er, wait. Maybe if she gets hurt a little, she’ll stop
acting so recklessly.
GM: The damage could take her down, though.
Otohime: Unfortunately, even though the thought crosses my mind, my
body moves on its own. Cover.
GM: Otohime is using Cover to protect Chiho with his body. (rolls dice)
Instead of Chiho getting hurt, Otohime takes 26 points of damage.
Otohime: 26?! 10 of it gets through.
Temiren: He protected Chiho…
Gilbert: Can I use Saint Shield?
GM: Yes.
Temiren: We’re done holding back!
GM: Just as Otohime is about to be swallowed up, a magic barrier sud-
denly appears. If it reduces the damage to 0, you won’t get swallowed.
Otohime: Great! Get that 10 points and stop it!
Gilbert: (rolls dice) …Seven.
GM: Crash! The barrier shatters. Otohime is swallowed.
All: Otohimeeeeee!! (laughs)
Otohime has once again been swallowed up by a Giant Toad.
Otohime: Uh, welp… (laughs)
Gilbert: It’s your fate at this point.
GM: Now, on to Giant Toad C. It’ll just go for Chiho, too. She must seem
pretty easy to eat.
Otohime: I use Cover again! (laughs)
GM: W-well, according to the rules, you can do it even when swallowed.

(rolls dice) The hit check is a 9.
Chiho: (rolls dice) I got a 9 exactly!
GM: Chiho dances out of the way.
Chiho: I can’t let Otohime get digested any more than he already has!
Temiren: Looks like it’s your turn, Chiho.
Chiho: I crouch, then slash at Giant Toad A. I guess if it won’t evade, I
don’t need Feint. I use Quick-Draw Technique, then use my major action
to attack with my weapon. “Health or nothing!” (laughs) (rolls dice) My hit
check is a 10!
GM: The Giant Toad can’t evade since it’s busy swallowing Otohime.
Chiho: (rolls dice) 24. That’s 40 points of damage.
GM: It only blocks 5, so it takes 35 points and…falls over without
digesting Otohime.
Chiho: Are you all right?
Otohime: Cough, cough… I hack up the sticky fluid out of my lungs. I
think I’ll be okay…
GM: Which brings an end to round two.

Gilbert: The soul of Giant Toad A went into this one! (laughs)
GM: It’s making a face like, I can’t let them defeat me yet. Not until I digest
him…!
Otohime: So you do want to eat me! (trembles)
Temiren: I see everyone playing with the toad, then take a seat and mut-

Gilbert: Oh, I see. You don’t have any MP.
Temiren: Nope! ♪ For my turn, I wait! (everyone laughs)

Otohime: I don’t know how much it’ll do, but I’ll give it a shot! (rolls dice)

GM: (rolls dice) It gets a 13 on its dodge check, so it fails.
Otohime: Great! Go to Hell! (rolls dice) 17 points of damage.
GM: It takes 4 and falls down, defeated, at −1 HP.
Otohime: We did it! We won!
All: (cheering and applause)
Otohime: …With my knees shaking, I say, “So this is what victory feels
like… I’ve never wanted to lose or win before. I’ve been scared to lose
even if winning meant becoming king of the world, so I’ve never fought.
But this is what triumph feels like… Maybe I’ll be able to defeat the De-
mon King, too.” (everyone laughs)
GM: Looks like at least one of you is pretty excited about it.
Temiren: What a little kid! (laughs)
Gilbert: Getting swallowed by those toads helped you mature, eh?
Otohime: All right, it’s off to the Demon King’s castle, everyone! When’s
the Climax Phase?!
Not yet.
Gilbert: Calm down. All we did was dispatch a few toads.
Temiren: Yeah.
GM: You’re not done with the quest yet, either. You still have to get rid
of the last one.
Otohime: Ugh, there’s still another one of them…?
Chiho: Toads are completely traumatizing for him now.
GM: Since the enemies have all been defeated, combat is now over.

GM: As a result of the battle, everyone gets rewards from the defeated
enemies.
After combat ends, players roll 2d6 to see what a defeated enemy
drops. Players can then take these drops back and sell them for money.
GM: Roll 2d6 per each slain monster to determine what they drop.
Chiho: Gil should roll for Giant Toad A.
Gilbert: Okay. (rolls dice) 6 total.
GM: Toad mucus. Three portions. You can take it back with you and sell
it for money.
Otohime: You didn’t get that off me, did you?
Chiho: You can sell that stuff?
GM: I believe it’s used for making medicines.
Chiho: Wonder if it’s one of those Yes, we promise it works things.
Otohime: Apparently, it keeps the skin moist when used as an ingredi-
ent in perfume. I’ll roll for Giant Toad B. (rolls dice) Got a total of 9.
GM: Toad meat. Worth 5 KE.
Temiren: I’ll go next. (rolls dice) 12.
Gilbert: Wow! That’s the highest you can get.
GM: High-quality toad meat. 300 KE.
Temiren: 300?! That’s some amazingly good meat!
Chiho: It does look good. Are we going to cook and eat it?
Otohime: Don’t be stupid! We should put it toward living expenses.
Temiren: I’m looking at my prince with eyes that obviously want him
to praise me—and that clearly tell him I’m the one who beat the toads!
(everyone laughs)
Chiho: Gil, you should tell her she did a good job.
Gilbert: …Nice work.
Chiho: One more time!
Gilbert: Then I pat Temiren on the head.
Temiren: O-ohhhh?! Yes!
Gilbert: In exchange, we’re donating the money to the Church of Axis.
(everyone laughs)
Temiren: Of course, my prince!

Gilbert: Talking slick to a girl and then getting her to give me money?

Chiho: It’s okay! It keeps it interesting!
Otohime: Anyway, that was one tough battle…
After slaying the Giant Toads and retrieving their loot, the party heals
up and then continues its adventure.
Middle 3: Man Versus Toad?
The deadly fight against the three Giant Toads has concluded.
Even Otohime, who was on the verge of being swallowed and was
dripping in toad mucus, somehow survived.
After they finish healing, the party begins searching for other Giant
Toads.
GM: So you’ve all rested and recovered, right?
Temiren: Oto, that was good work!
Otohime: I’m washing my face in the river to get the mucus off.
Temiren: You can make Giant Toad mucus into really, really good per-
fume!
Otohime: That so? I thought I was going to die a monster’s stomach.
GM: After you take a break, the farm’s owner appears. He’s also the one
who put out the request. “Something wrong here?” he asks.
Chiho: Ummm, right—the toads showed up out of nowhere, so we
started fighting them.
GM: “Uh, that would make you the adventurers, then?”
Temiren: That’s right. This one’s my prince.
GM: “Prince…?” he says, confused.
Temiren: Hee-hee. It’s a secret. (everyone laughs)
GM: The farm owner…needs a name. Let’s go with Arm Fowner.
Temiren: That’s easy to remember. (laughs)
GM: “Those toads have been making life miserable. They come out of
nowhere, destroy things, kidnap livestock—and people…”
Chiho: I knew they were brutes!
Gilbert: We got revenge for you!
Otohime: …Wait. But they tried to eat me on sight. If they’re kidnapping

people without eating them then and there… Something’s off.
GM: Make an Intelligence check. You want a total score of 8. If you suc-
ceed, Arm Fowner will reveal more.
Otohime: (rolls dice) I got an 8 just on the dice, so I succeed.
Temiren: (rolls dice) 14.
Chiho: (rolls dice) 8 here.
Gilbert: My Intelligence is pretty high at 4. (rolls dice) 15.
GM: Everyone succeeds. Arm Fowner has explained about the Giant
Toads, but you noticed something wasn’t right. Giant Toads generally
only attack to eat, not abduct people.
Otohime: Yeah, definitely strange. I was about to be digested, after all.
Chiho: Do Giant Toads kidnap people?
GM: “I, uh, actually don’t know the details. I’ve never seen it happen in
person.”
Otohime: Meaning you ran away as soon as the Giant Toads attacked?
You made the right choice to survive. Hanako and Momoko the cows
won’t hate you for it.
GM: “…You understand me.”
Temiren: Maybe the monsters didn’t abduct the livestock to eat them…
They did it because they thought they found their soul mates! (everyone
laughs)
Gilbert: Can toads have cows as soul mates?
GM: “Hanako had a bull husband already, so…”
Temiren: Stolen love…! But that’s not something that happens in shou-
jo manga.
Otohime: That would turn it into a josei manga. There’d be a civil-suit
story line.
Temiren: Yeah. It’s too graphic! Out of the question for Temiren.
Gilbert: I see! I’m sure the Church of Eris, after falling on hard times, is
responsible for this! (laughs)
GM: “What?! The Church of Eris did this? But everyone in the church is
so kind…”
Otohime: Fowner-san, I understand how you feel, but it’s not a very
good idea to speak well of the Eris Church with an Axis follower right in
front of you.
GM: “…Let’s stop talking about it.”
Konosuba TRPG

Chiho: You like to stay away from religion. That’s understandable.
GM: “Say, I think one of the Giant Toads you fought before has coughed
up a letter.”
All: A letter?!
Chiho: How curious. Let’s have him show it to us.
GM: The letter reads as follows:
To Humanity:
This is only the beginning.
Giant Toads are the true rulers of this world. We will change the world
of humans.
Chiho: Whoever it is, they’re really hopping to it.
GM: Smirk… (full grin)
Temiren: …What should we do? They’re enemies of mankind!
Chiho: They were certainly bold enough to hit us with such an over-the-
top challenge.
Otohime: We just fought toads that are scheming to end human society
as we know it? Given how tough they were, I guess that follows.
Chiho: Still, if we beat just one more, that’s 100 KE in the bag!
Gilbert: Oh, right. Our mission was to defeat them and get that 100 KE
reward, whether they want to overthrow the world or not!
Temiren: They might eat us again, you know.
Chiho: If they try, Chiho will protect you!
Otohime: How can you ever know what it feels like to be eaten? All the
heat in your body, it just drains away so quickly… (everyone laughs)
Chiho: Oh, I can take getting eaten. I didn’t take any damage during the
fight, after all.
Otohime: No, I’m the only one who should be getting devoured! (laughs)
Gilbert: Giant Toads are the enemy of Lady Aqua…the enemy of a god-
dess. Let’s hunt them down. Didn’t you all feel Lady Aqua’s anger? She
will not tolerate any toads on this farm!
Otohime: Didn’t know she had such a thing for this particular farm…
Gilbert: Okay, so since we need to hunt for clues to find our last Giant
Toad, can we gather information or anything?
GM: Yeah, let’s say you can. Let’s make this Scene into a Research Scene,
Replay Section
49
where you can search for knowledge.
Otohime: Let’s check for toad tracks first.
Gilbert: You can leave that to me. I have Tracking Skill.
Temiren: I never expected anything less!
GM: Please make a Perception check. And you can use the skill with it,
too.
Gilbert: I have 3 Perception. Tracking Skill adds 1d6, so I can roll 3d6. All
in all, that’s 3d6+3. (rolls dice) My total score is 11.
GM: The Tracking Skill you’ve been fostering from birth as the sixth son
of an aristocratic family and Axis follower has borne fruit!
Gilbert: Yep, I’ve been polishing my skills ever since I was young.
Chiho: Even though a toad is the suspect?
Temiren: If one has a just heart, then it doesn’t matter if the target is
human or not!
Chiho: I see. That’s Gil for you.
Temiren: Despite my prince’s face, he’s a really kind person. Especially
when it comes to animals.
GM: He’s going to be slaying a toad, though…
Temiren: Especially when it comes to mammals.
GM: I see, so he’s cruel to amphibians, then. (laughs)
Chiho: He’ll put an umbrella over a rain-soaked puppy, but not a rain-
soaked toad.
Temiren: Yep. That situation probably wouldn’t happen in shoujo man-
ga anyway.
GM: Anyway, I’ll tell you what you’ve gleaned as a result of your check.
You examine the tracks and see that they’re leading to a nearby moun-
tain.
Gilbert: Great. Let’s follow them.
The party heads for the mountain, pursuing the Giant Toad footprints,
with Gilbert in the lead.
GM: Following the tracks, you discover a cave deep in the forest. The
footprints lead into it, and you can see marks on the ground indicating
that a cow was dragged inside.
Gilbert: I see—so it’s in there. All right, let’s go!
Konosuba TRPG

Temiren: Right behind you!
GM: The Scene ends as you all enter the cave in pursuit of the Giant Toad.
Middle 4: To the Cave’s Depths
The party arrives at the mouth of a cave after following in the Giant
Toad’s wake.
They can’t see very far beyond the wide entrance, so they’re just going
to have to enter and investigate.
GM: You’ve entered the hollow. It’s pretty dark inside, and if you don’t
have a lantern or anything, you’ll take penalties.
Chiho: We had a light in our adventurer’s set, didn’t we?
Otohime: Penalties? Guess we’ll have to be careful…
Gilbert: Are you staying outside, Otohime?
Otohime: I’d appreciate it if you guys used our power of friendship to get
me to overcome my weak heart and drag me inside. (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: We’re already here, and now he’s being annoying about it!
Chiho: It’s okay. Chiho will be right beside you.
Otohime: Yeah… Without me there, you’ll probably get into huge trou-
ble, so I feel like I should probably go with.
Chiho: From Chiho’s perspective, not having Otohime means her fire-
power goes down by 1d6, so if possible, I’d like you to come.
Otohime: You’re talking about the extra die you get from Oath Skill,
right…?
Chiho: To Chiho, that’s pretty important.
Otohime: I’d rather someone tell me that I’m needed. I have this desire
for approval. If everyone says admits they’d prefer I was around, I’ll go!
Fine then! Uwooooh!
GM: Stir up trouble, then take the credit. I get it. In that case, let’s have
Otohime, uh, “lead” as you guys advance. (laughs)
Gilbert: Let’s go, too.
Temiren: Yep.
GM: You’ll be entering a dungeon now. It’s just what it sounds like—a
Scene where you’ll do some dungeon-delving.
Otohime: At last.
GM: From here on, everyone will be moving through several dungeon
Replay Section

areas. Typically, each one will be treated as a single Scene.
Gilbert: Got it.
GM: This Scene is over, then, as you proceed farther in.
Middle 5: Challenge the Trial of Intelligence
The party proceeds deeper into the cave.
There are marks on the wall where torches used to be hung. Curious-
ly, the floor is also made of stone and seems well-tended. Chances are
good that someone is lurking in this place.
GM: You all continue to the next chamber. It’s a single Area. There are
signs of alteration to the natural structure.
Otohime: Seems lived-in, huh?
Chiho: Like someone’s modified a naturally formed cave.
Temiren: How exciting!
Gilbert: That does mean it’s more than likely they set traps, too.
Otohime: I see Hanako’s hoofprints here!
Temiren: They spell out al-moo-st there, don’t they?
Gilbert: I get it. Because she’s a cow.
GM: Unfortunately, she didn’t leave a message. (laughs) There’s an un-
deniable feeling that everything has been kept tidy. The floor is paved,
even. A thick door lies sealed at the back of the room. It doesn’t seem like
you’d be able to destroy it.
Otohime: Did they put it here specifically so people couldn’t bust their
way in?!
GM: It’s got Lock B on it. The kind you can’t unseal without getting cre-
ative. In the middle of the room, there’s a fruit hanging from the ceiling,
with a chair and a stick sitting underneath it.
Gilbert: This… It’s a challenge! They’re daring us to take the fruit!
Temiren: My prince, there’s fruit growing.
Gilbert: Everyone, stay calm. This is an Eris follower’s trap.
Temiren: It is…?
Chiho: Seems like the perfect time for trap detection.
Trap Detection
Some traps spring after a certain action is taken, such as moving an
Konosuba TRPG
52
object or opening a door, and are detectable. You can discover them by
passing a trap detection check.
Chiho: I can’t reach the fruit with my hand!
Otohime: Chiho, it looks like you’re supposed to use a tool.
Chiho: …A, um, a tool?
GM: Actually, as you’re all making a ruckus, you hear a voice coming from
somewhere.
Otohime: …We’re making a ruckus. (laughs)
Gilbert: We let ourselves be too defenseless. Can’t blame the GM for say-
ing we’re making noise.
Temiren: We got careless even though the enemy’s close by. (laughs)
GM: It’s a man’s voice, slightly muffled. “The first step to becoming a cho-
sen one is having the intelligence to wield tools. Go on—try and take
the fruit.”
Chiho: Can I make an Intelligence check to see how we’re supposed to
use the stick?
Otohime: What an underestimation! (everyone laughs)
GM: To explain, if you succeed a hit check against the fruit using the chair
and stick, you can get it to fall. However, the chair looks pretty unstable,
so you’ll take −1d6 to the hit check. The difficulty level is 10.
Chiho: So it’s treated like a weapon hit?
GM: That’s right. The stick acts as a weapon that does blunt damage.
Otohime: That means I’m up.
Chiho: Chiho’s just going to worry about how she’s supposed to get the
fruit using the stick. (laughs)
Temiren: Wait, we still don’t know what kind of traps are around.
Otohime: You’ve got me, so it should be fine. We’ll manage even if
there’s, like, an explosion.
Temiren: What’s gotten into you, Oto?
Otohime: I’m thinking this is my chance to prove my worth to the rest
of you.
Temiren: So cool… My heart just skipped a beat! ♪
Otohime: I position the chair, then do a running jump and smack the
fruit! (rolls dice) I got exactly 10!
GM: Your foot nearly slips, but you manage to smack the fruit down.

Chiho: I never would have thought of using the chair as a springboard…
Otohime: Listen up. This is great for cleaning in high places.
Gilbert: O-oh… (laughs)
GM: Otohime also gets the fruit as an item. If you eat it, you’ll recover
1d6 MP.
Otohime: I think I’ll give it to Temiren.
Temiren: Yay! I’m eating it right now.
GM: That was fast! (laughs)
Temiren: (rolls dice) Ohhh, I recovered 6 points.
Otohime: Hey, this is a fruit we found in enemy territory, you know!
Temiren: But it’s also a fruit that a boy gave me as a present, right? That
really leaves a lasting impression.
Chiho: And that’s the important part. In shoujo manga terms anyway.
GM: You hear a ding-dong sound go off a few times. “You’ve done well to
overcome the Trial of Intelligence. Now come deeper and take your first
step toward changing the world.”
Chiho: I see—because we demonstrated our intelligence!
Gilbert: …Did we, though? Well, whatever.
Otohime: And now we’ll save Hanako and go home!
GM: There is literally nothing written in the scenario about a “Hanako”…
(everyone laughs)
The cow’s name was actually just ad-libbed.
Chiho: Before we open the door, I’ll do trap detection.
GM: Go ahead.
Chiho: “I bought this!” I say, happily taking out my thief’s tools. (rolls dice)

Temiren: I’ll roll just in case, too. (rolls dice) 8.
GM: Neither of you sees anything in particular.
Temiren: Looks like it’s probably safe!
Chiho: Yes. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about this.
Otohime: The thought They don’t eat metal armor crosses my mind
again… (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: Anyway, let’s open the door.
GM: It opens without any fanfare.
Konosuba TRPG

Gilbert: Great—let’s keep going.
GM: Now that you’ve overcome the Trial of Intelligence, you move to the
next Area.
Middle 6: Over the Acid Lake
After splendidly besting the Trial of Intelligence, the party heads to the
next room.
In front of them is a lake with smoke hissing up from it, blocking their
way.
The pool appears to be filled with acid.
GM: Venturing ahead, you all arrive in another new chamber. This time,
there’s water in the middle of the floor. Audible steam is rising from it.
Chiho: A hot spring?
GM: Since it’d be obvious upon sight, I’ll tell you. It’s an acid lake.
Chiho: So not a hot spring. This seems significantly bad for your health.
Temiren: Everyone, make sure to stay away from it!
Gilbert: You know what’s going on, Temiren?
Temiren: I’m the daughter of a bathhouse owner, remember? I’m used
to seeing things like this.
Gilbert: Ah, I see.
GM: There’s a lifeless toad lying next to it.
Gilbert: A toad?
GM: Still a young one, it seems.
Temiren: …A child toad? Not a tadpole?
GM: It’s basically just sprouted legs.
Gilbert: Does it seem dangerous?
GM: It’s quite obvious that the acid got it. The creature’s skin is festering,
and it’s unable to fight.
Otohime: Maybe it crawled back up after falling in. If we take a dip, we’ll
meet the same fate…
GM: The same voice as before echoes from somewhere. “You are not
like humans. What you need is incredible jumping ability. Show your
strength and jump over the dangerous lake!”
Otohime: How wide is it?
GM: About five meters.
Replay Section
55
Chiho: That’s pretty far…
Otohime: Maybe not, if you took a running jump.
GM: If you want to try, you’ll be doing a Strength check, DL 10, to see if
you can make it over. You could do other things to increase your jump-
ing distance, but if you fail, you’ll splash right down in the acid lake and
take damage.
Chiho: I see. In that case, leave this to Chiho.
Otohime: Wait a minute. Can you really do this?!
Chiho: I have a 4 in Strength.
Otohime: I suppose that means you need 6 or higher on a 2d6, so…
Gilbert: Time for a Blessing, then?
GM: If you spend a Blessing, you can add 1d6 to the dice roll.
Otohime: What happens if we use Purification to purify the water?
GM: …I see what you’re going for. I’ll allow it.
All: Ohhhhh?! (claps)
GM: In that case, if you can pass a magic check with DL 12, the water will
be purified, and you can get by without taking damage.
Chiho: Chiho is just gonna jump for now.
Otohime: Still?!
Chiho: If you detox it before I do, it’s fine. Here we go!
Otohime: Chiho, it’s dangerous! Purification!
Gilbert: I’ll use Bless on Otohime. (rolls dice) I got a 7, so it worked. As a
follower of Axis, I can’t allow an acid lake to exist.
Otohime: Which means I can roll 3d6 for the magic check, right? “This is
the power of a chosen one!” (rolls dice) Passed with 18! Pshhhh!
GM: The lake turns into clean water.
Chiho: (rolls dice) Passed the jump check with exactly 10. Chiho lands
just barely on the other side!
Otohime: Did you see the power of Purification? You could drink from
that lake now!
Temiren: Now that it’s fresh water, I’m going fishing.
GM: Fishing?! It just got purified—there’s nothing in there.
Temiren: My Fishing Skill is just for hanging a string down and calming
myself. It’s okay if there’s no fish.
GM: Urk… All right, fine. (laughs)
Konosuba TRPG

* * *
Fishing Skill allows the character to relax with some fishing, recovering
MP. The GM may decide the player can’t use it, because there are no fish,
but in this case, the player’s explanation was funny, so the GM allowed it.
Temiren: The smell of sulfur is kinda nostalgic.
Gilbert: Is that how you’re recovering MP…?
Temiren: (rolls dice) Highest you can get. And my prince and Oto are
helping each other out. Ahh, boys being friends is so nice!
GM: Sounds like something other than your fishing is what’s healing you
up. (laughs)
Chiho: Chiho is over, Otohime got rid of the acid, and Temiren’s MP is
restored! This was good for everyone.
GM: As you’re doing that, the voice returns. “Well done. Your bodies have
exceeded human limits… You’ve transcended humanity itself. Continue
further. This is the second step to changing the world.”
Temiren: Guess we should get moving.
GM: You cross the detoxified acid lake and head to the next room, which
means this Scene is over.
Middle 7: Mystery of the Laboratory
The party, having crossed the once-deadly pool, proceeds into the next
chamber.
What they find is a space filled with things that appear to be medi-
cines as well as experimental equipment.
Evidently, someone was doing some sort of research here.
GM: Now then, next Scene.
Temiren: I’m so calm now that I went fishing!
GM: With Temiren relaxed, you all arrive in the third room. There are a
lot of items in it, but in particular, you see disposable objects like flasks
about. This looks like a laboratory. There’s also a box in the middle of the
room, covered in viscous fluid. The floor is covered in it, too. It clearly
looks like a trail from many a toad having passed through here.
Temiren: Ewww, it’s all sticky…
GM: To know more about this room, you’ll have to make an Intelligence
check. The difficulty level is 12.

Temiren: (rolls dice) Passed!
Otohime: (rolls dice) I passed it as well.
Chiho & Gilbert: (roll dice) Nope…
GM: Temiren and Otohime can tell these are tools for incubating Giant
Toad eggs. There’s some growth promoters among the equipment.
Otohime: It looks like someone’s using this place to birth more Giant
Toads.
Temiren: My prince, I want that!
GM: There’s an awful amount of slime near the box, and you might slip
and fall if you get close. Make an Agility check with DL 12.
Temiren: I think it’s best for a girl to go!
Gilbert: You’re doing it, then?!
Temiren, however, fails her Agility check.
She slips and falls—and now she’s covered in slime.
GM: You slip and splash down into the gunk. You lose 1 point of HP, and
now you’re covered in slime. It won’t affect your stats or anything, but
you’ll stay slimed until the end of the scenario. (everyone laughs)
Temiren: Ugh, I’m soaked in this slimy stuff…
Gilbert: There’s a good chance she planned for that to happen.
Otohime: By the way, what was in the box?
Chiho: I’ll try opening it.
GM: The box is locked.
Chiho: Can I break it?
GM: If you attack it and do 20 damage, it’ll break.
Chiho: Can I use Destruction Skill?
GM: You’re so aggressive. Yes, you can. (laughs)
Chiho: I’ll do some damage. (rolls dice) 40.
Temiren: 40?! You’d practically send me flying along with it!
GM: There’s a click, and an explosive trap triggers! Make a Luck check
with DL 13 to avoid taking damage. None of you mentioned anything
about trying to detect traps, so… (everyone laughs)
Chiho: We never did! (laughs)
Temiren: Oh, I got knocked away by Chiho. Would I take damage from
the explosive trap?
Konosuba TRPG

GM: It’s fine, you don’t have to take damage. (laughs)
Gil & Chiho & Otohime: (roll dice) Failed!
Otohime: I use Cover on Chiho!
GM: (rolls dice) Then please take 15 physical damage. Since you used
Cover, you’ll take twice whatever damage you couldn’t block with Phys-
ical Defense.
Otohime: I can block 16 physical damage.
GM: Ah! Then you don’t take any at all. The explosion clears, and you’re
still standing.
Otohime: I told you so! We have to use trap detection to prevent this
sort of thing from happening.
Chiho: You never said that.
Otohime: I…guess I didn’t…
Chiho: I almost believed you for a second. (laughs)
Gilbert: And I, the person most removed from this, get burned. I’ll just
use Saint Shield. (rolls dice) 9. 2 points of damage get through.
Otohime: You should be fine with 2 damage.
Chiho: Amazing… Just goes to show how powerful good health is!
Otohime: No! It was the power of friendship—of teamwork.
Chiho: Neither of those words meant anything to Chiho in her past life.
GM: Didn’t associate much with other people back then, huh?
Gilbert: Thanks to Lady Aqua’s divine protection, I’ve escaped with only
a couple scrapes.
Temiren: I look at how frazzled my prince’s hair is and say, “Princes aren’t
supposed to have that kind of hairstyle.”
Gilbert: You’re only worried about my hair?! (laughs)
Chiho: Anyway, what’s in the box?
GM: There’s five…what used to be rubies on the floor where the box
was now.
Otohime: That’s a lot!
GM: You’d have gotten all five if you’d disarmed the trap successfully, but
since you failed, you can only take the two rubies that survived.
Gilbert: Well, we already have the high-quality toad meat.
Otohime: If not for that, I’d be having a mental breakdown.
Temiren: Eh-heh-heh.
GM: That was the only thing you didn’t expect, eh? (laughs)
Konosuba TRPG

Chiho: So the high-quality meat is working wonders for our mental
health.
GM: And then the door in the back opens.
Chiho: From the explosion, I wonder?
Otohime: Ohhh!
Temiren: Can we take the sticky toad mucus with us? It can be sold back
in town, right?
GM: I’ll let you bring 1d6 of it. It’s worth 1 KE per.
Chiho: (rolls dice) …2. If 1 is 1 KE, that’s not a whole lot, but still.
Temiren: It’s a good beauty product, you know.
Chiho: I smear it all over my face.
Temiren: Why?!
Chiho: You said it was a beauty product, didn’t you? Beauty and health
go hand in hand.
Temiren: Ahhh, you’re growing more beautiful by the second! It’s really
making you shine. (laughs)
Otohime: Be serious here!
Gilbert: Anyway, let’s move on.
GM: You pick up the two rubies from the blown-up treasure chest, and
then we move to the next Scene.
Middle 8: Ambition of the Toad King
Leaving the laboratory, the party marches deeper into the cave.
The paths ahead are still dark, but there is a wooden door off to the
side.
It leads to a rather unique room…
GM: The passage you follow continues, but on one side, you see a wood-
en door.
Otohime: After all that, a wooden door?
GM: There’s the passage, and kind of off to the side, up ahead, is the
wooden door. If you open it, we’ll do a Scene for what’s beyond it; other-
wise, we can proceed as you are.
Chiho: Chiho knows better now. I do trap detection before opening the
door. Though, if I fail, it’ll spring the trap…

Temiren: Do you want me to roll instead?
Otohime: Shouldn’t whoever’s got the best stat make the roll?
Temiren: It wouldn’t matter in our case. Chiho, you want to roll?
Chiho: I do!
Temiren: Then go ahead.
Chiho: (rolls dice) 8.
GM: You don’t really see anything.
Chiho: Nothing here!
Otohime: Hmm. Nothing triggered, so it’s probably fine. I’m opening it.
Click!
GM: Inside is a regular chamber. There’s a bookshelf, a desk, and a bed. A
portrait also sits atop the desk.
Chiho: This room is nicer than Otohime’s, huh?
Otohime: Yes—all I have is a bed.
Temiren: Are you going to look for traces of Eris followers, my prince?
Gilbert: First, I’d like to do an Intelligence check on the portrait.
GM: Okay, go ahead.
Gilbert: (rolls dice) Total score of 14.
GM: It’s a picture of a person with a toad’s head striking a cool pose.
They’re not an Eris follower, but they are one of the Demon King’s forc-
es—a lowly scientist named Frogger.
Temiren: Huh, the Demon King’s forces, you say?
Gilbert: Have I seen this person before?
GM: Yeah.
Chiho: It’s said the Demon King has 108 demon generals…
GM: Nah, Frogger’s just one of the thousands of regular underlings.
Temiren: My prince can remember thousands of faces?!
Otohime: That is very like an Axis follower.
Gilbert: Heh. Axis followers are nothing if not persistent.
Temiren: Yeah, since they’re all must destroy Demon King!
GM: You recognize Frogger but don’t know anything further about him.
Apart from that, there’s a journal on the desk as well. It says, Secret, do
not read.
Temiren: Let’s check it out! Reading a journal is always a crucial factor in
shoujo manga.
Gilbert: Should we do it without asking?
Konosuba TRPG
62
Otohime: I think we can just chalk it up to coincidence.
Temiren: Oh yeah, that would work. I could accidentally drop it, and
then it flies open for me to read. Oh nooo! I dropped the journal by
accident. (monotone)
Chiho: Ah, you dropped it, and now we’ve read it without meaning to.
(also monotone)
Otohime: The owner’s private life is going to be exposed purely by
mishap.
GM: It tells the story of a human named Frogger.
All: A human?
GM: Well, former human, I should say. Frogger was once a dishonest
adventurer. One day, he stole a certain Sacred Treasure—a jewel.
Temiren: …A Sacred Treasure?
GM: It says in the journal that the sacred jewel can grant any wish. Frog-
ger wished to become a king.
Gilbert: King?
GM: Yes. But this Sacred Treasure generally interprets people’s words
wrong. As a result, Frogger was turned into the toad king.
Otohime: Toad king…?
GM: So that people would be…toadies to him.
All: Ahh! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: All for a pun!
Otohime: He got made into a toad because of a pun! Not punny at all,
for him at least!
Returning a bad pun with a slightly better one.
GM: Knowing he couldn’t live among humans now, he joined the
Demon King’s army. Still, the divine artifact’s power is real, and Frogger,
who became the toad king…
Otohime: He can order toads around now?
GM: That’s right. He seems to think that if he raises and trains up a whole
army of them, he’ll be able to leave his mark on history.
Chiho: And eventually supplant the Demon King?
GM: Indeed.
Otohime: So he wants to strengthen his forces by making more Giant

Toads. He’s determined to threaten the world, huh?
Gilbert: Is that why he brought Hanako the cow here?
Temiren: You know, princes who get turned into frogs normally turn
back with a kiss.
Chiho: Like “The Frog Prince”? Should we try it?
Temiren: (thinks for a second) …Maybe not? (laughs)
GM: It says in the journal that Frogger’s first move will be to attack Axel.
There’s signs he conducted a thorough investigation on the settlement.
Chiho: The always-prepared type!
Temiren: Such enthusiasm…! My heart pounds! ♪ But I have my prince
already! What should I dooo?
Gilbert: And Temiren’s the one I’m making support me… I’m starting to
think I’m an asshole.
Temiren: Wait! Don’t be nice to me! (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: A-are you sure?
GM: You two are good friends. (profoundly)
Otohime: Still, that Frogger guy is doing some major scheming.
GM: It also details the raising and training of Giant Toads, as well as build-
ing them into a large military force.
Chiho: I’m going to doodle on it. Scritch, scratch.
Otohime: Hmm, this dungeon feels kind of… Wait, hold on. Frogger
wasn’t talking to us—he was talking to the toads coming through!
Gilbert: This place seems to be for toad training. That’s why that one was
lying next to the acid lake before.
Otohime: We weren’t expected, then?
Temiren: …Which means the fruit we took was supposed to be for a
toad?
Otohime: I bet only the toad that was able to get that fruit got to live.
Temiren: But wouldn’t they take it with their tongue? Why the stick?
GM: Frogger had a separate voice clip prepared if a toad used its tongue.
Otohime: This guy never misses a detail.
Temiren: The monsters had to go through acid lakes and stuff, so you’ve
gotta praise them for succeeding.
Otohime: Have toads gotten further than us?
GM: Remember that the slime keeps on going, you haven’t found
Hanako, and you haven’t spotted a single toad egg yet.
Konosuba TRPG
64
Chiho: I see. Maybe Hanako is safe then.
Temiren: Is her bed all slimy?
GM: Most certainly.
Temiren: Yikes…
Chiho: Any insults toward Lady Aqua or the like in the journal?
GM: Yeah, that would be funny. So let’s say there’s a part that reads, Leav-
ing a failed product like that gem around is exactly what I’d expect from the
Church of Axis. That’s why they always lose to the Church of Eris, or some-
thing along those lines.
Chiho: He went that far?!
Gilbert: That accursed heretic!
Otohime: Suddenly, you’re into this?!
Chiho: Don’t you think you’re getting a little too excited, Gil?
Gilbert: I was wondering how we’d recover the wish-granting Sacred
Treasure from him… But if it belonged to the Axis sect to begin with, we
must steal it back! Let’s go to the next room! I ready my mace.
Chiho: I frantically follow him!
Temiren: It’s gonna be a repeat of what happened at the farm!
GM: Gilbert leads the party toward the room in the back, and the Scene
ends. Next up, we have the long-awaited Climax Phase.

Climax 1: For This Wonderful Adventure!
Finally, the party arrives in the deepest room in the cave.
Frogger the toad king must be inside.
A cow’s mournful moos can be heard from within.
Once the door is open, the final battle will commence!
GM: Now then, for the Climax Phase. When you get to the end of the
passage, there’s a door, and inside, you can hear a cow mooing.
Chiho: It’s Hanako!
Otohime: Hanakooo! We won’t leave you here, I swear it! What do you
think we came here to do…? Wait. What did we come here for again?
Temiren: To finish the quest, remember? Oto, you need to be the sensi-
ble one of our group!
Otohime: Yeah, you’re right…
Gilbert: Anyway, I’m opening it! Slam!
GM: When Gilbert opens the door, you see a man with a toad’s head
plopped down on a throne.
Temiren: The toad king?!
Otohime: I see—he does seem to think he’s one, at least.
GM: Behind him, you can see Hanako, lying on a metal plank.
Otohime: H-Hanako?!
Chiho: Is there a big pot underneath her or something?!
GM: There is indeed. (laughs)
Otohime: He’s gonna make Hanako into beef stew!
GM: “Welcome, adventurers. Toad society has just acquired a new piece
of culture: cooking.” Frogger looks around at you as he says this.
Chiho: Don’t tell me it’s more of a pipe chair than a throne? (laughs)
GM: Well now, that’s strange! It wasn’t supposed to go that way. (laughs)
What look like test tubes surround Frogger, each containing Giant Toad
eggs. The eggs are about a meter wide.
All: Gross!!
GM: The toad king looks at you and says, “I had thought it was rather

Gilbert: Makes sense he’d notice given the commotion we made…
GM: “And trying to ruin our learning establishment makes you terrible
people.” He slowly stands up.
Gilbert: I jump straight for him.
GM: “For what purpose have you—? Uwahhh?! T-to me, at once!” Frogger
shouts, and two Giant Toads appear.
Gilbert: They must be his bodyguards.
Chiho: The kind that would probably say Leave this to us, Your Majesty if
they could.
GM: Their cries do seem to be saying something along those lines.
Temiren: They’re already so well-trained… Frogger didn’t really have an
introduction, though. Is that okay?
GM: Well, Gilbert did jump for him. Everything he wants to say was writ-
ten in the journal anyway.
Chiho: I kind of would rather talk to Frogger.
GM: “All right, then. We’ll have plenty of time to talk during the Setup
Process…heh-heh-heh.” (everyone laughs)

Gilbert: I want to charge Frogger right now!
Temiren: Wait! Are those Giant Toads different from the ones we fought
in the Middle Phase?
GM: “Heh-heh-heh. They’re far more clever and realized that being im-
mobilized while swallowing someone was a weakness! We have learned
how to cook, how to boil, and we will keep on evolving. And you won’t
get in our way!” Statistically, they’re the same, except these ones will be
able to dodge even if they’ve swallowed an enemy.
Temiren: They’re learning!
Chiho: They can dodge while swallowing someone?
GM: “Correct! Toads now stand above humans!”
Otohime: I don’t believe my ears… Have you thrown away your human-
ity, Frogger?!
GM: “I am no longer human—I have accepted my toad existence, and it
changed the way I view the world. And I’ve grown bored of the Demon
King’s army, too. I will create a nation of toads!” (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: A nation of toads…?
Chiho: What, you mean like a fun-filled toad theme park or something?
GM: I like that. I’ll run with it. “Yes, and its name will be Thrilling Toad
Land!”
Temiren: That sounds so cute, though! (laughs)
Otohime: After hearing that, it’s hard to hate him. It’s not fair! (laughs)
GM: “It’ll have Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and merry-go-rounds. But the
toads will be the ones to enjoy them! For the merry-go-rounds, instead
of riding on horses, we will ride on humans!”
Chiho: How absolutely evil!!
GM: “How about it? I seem more like a boss character now, eh?” (every-
one laughs)
Temiren: He does!
GM: In any case, Frogger activates a skill. He’s using an original enemy
skill called King of the Toads. If he passes an Intelligence check, the Giant
Toads will get a bonus to their damage and hit checks. (rolls dice) And he
does. Their hit checks will have +1d6, and their damage will have +2d6.
Gilbert: In that case, I’ll use my cheat—Villainous Energy. I give a loud
shout and run toward them, making them fumble!
Konosuba TRPG

GM: Fu-ha-ha! I am the toad king… Huh? Ahhhhh! A monster?!”
Gilbert, with his scary face, charges at a terrifying speed.
Any semblance of dignity that Frogger the Toad King once had evap-
orates, and his King of the Toads skill doesn’t go off.
Gilbert: Death to the Demon King!
GM: “Who…who are you people?!”
Chiho: Your natural enemy, probably. You may have thrown off the yoke
of humanity, but it seems you’re still afraid of a scary face.
Otohime: Yeah, but he might use that skill again next turn.
Chiho: Oh, right.
Otohime: We should aim to kill one of the toads this round.
GM: Is there anything else anyone wants to do during the Setup Process?
Chiho: Nope.
GM: Next up is the Initiative Process. We go in Action Points order, so…
Gilbert: That makes me the first one. I charge in like a bullet and punch
Giant Toad A! (rolls dice) 12 for my hit check.
GM: If it rolls 9 or higher, it’ll dodge. (rolls dice) Urk. It got a total score of
6, so it fails.
Chiho: Maybe you should use a Blessing now?
Gilbert: Oh, that’s a good idea. I have three left. (rolls dice) Gyaaaaaah,
that roll was terrible. 10 points of damage!
GM: Boing. It bounces right off.
Chiho: But he used a Blessing!
GM: Unfortunately, if the roll was bad, it doesn’t make a difference. Next
up are Temiren and Frogger at 6 Action Points. Player characters have
priority, so you’re up, Temiren.
Temiren: Frogger! Don’t you want to go back to being human?!
GM: “What? If I did that, people would use me for doing stupid little jobs
they don’t want to do themselves.”
Temiren: But that was the life you chose, wasn’t it? Plus, whenever a toad
turns back into a human, they’re pretty much always a hottie! (everyone
laughs)
GM: “If I was that good-looking, I wouldn’t have ended up in this life in
the first place, dammit!” (everyone laughs)

Chiho: I do wonder what his old face was like.
GM: It’s looked toadish since the start.
Temiren: …Errr, anyway, being a hottie isn’t about appearance! It’s about
what’s in your heart!
Otohime: Only someone able to call a scary-faced guy her “prince” could
say stuff like that. (laughs)
GM: “What? Then you’ll turn me back into a human? You’re welcome to
kiss me and try…”
Temiren: Urk…
Gilbert: I ignore their conversation since I’m still making scary noises.
(laughs)
Temiren: I’m sorry. That person is already my prince, so…
GM: You mean the one making scary noises and charging in headfirst?
Temiren: Guess there’s no use talking about it then. I use Destructive
Magic Power. For my move action, I’ll use Magic Blast, then my major
action is Freeze Gust. I target both Giant Toads!
GM: You wink at them, and they freeze.
Temiren: I’ll use Blessings on my magic check so that it’s 4d6. (rolls dice)
17.
GM: They’ll have to roll two sixes to dodge it. (rolls dice) Both fail the
check.
Temiren: And then I use two Blessings and declare Destructive Magic
Power. Now it’s 14d6.
GM: Fourteen dice?! That’s nuts!
Chiho: You are the one who decided on that, Ohata-san. (laughs)
GM: Oh. You’re right.
Temiren: “Witness the might of the one my prince deigned to take un-
der his wing. My name is Temiren! Daughter of the greatest bathhouse
owner in the Crimson Magic Clan. She who idealizes shoujo manga. And
a wielder of freezing magics! Freeze Gust!” (rolls dice) Exactly 50 damage!
GM: Um. Their Magic Defense is 2…
Temiren: Are they hibernating now?
Gilbert: Since the Giant Toads are frozen, and I’m making scary noises
while flailing my mace around, they’re gonna shatter.
Otohime: Krssshhhh!

Thanks to Temiren’s incredible freezing spell, the Giant Toads are flash
frozen and smashed to bits.
Now only Frogger remains.
GM: Temiren’s freezing spell has brilliantly wiped the Giant Toads off the
face of the planet.
Temiren: This is the power of the Crimson Magic Clan!
Temiren: That’s a total of five enemies. We completed the quest, right?
Otohime: Great, mission accomplished!
Chiho: Not yet! Hanako’s still in captivity.
Otohime: That’s right!
GM: Next up is Frogger’s Main Process. “D-don’t come any closer!” He
uses Concentration: Magic, an enemy skill, for his move action. It adds
3d6 to his damage. His major action will be a magic attack called Toad’s
Muddy Waters, which shoots viscous fluid.
Temiren: M-maybe it’s good for your skin!
GM: He aims it at Gilbert, since he’s out in front. “I have to save my own
hide first! Take this!” (rolls dice) He got a 16 for his hit check.
Temiren: If you use a Blessing, you could probably dodge it.
Gilbert: I’ll use a Blessing. I pray to Lady Aqua and try to evade. I use 2
points of it, so that’s 4d6+3. (rolls dice) I got two sixes. I dodge it with a
critical!
GM: Frogger says, “Did I get him?!” But when the smoke clears… (every-
one laughs)
Otohime: Gil? Gil?!
Chiho: Ahhh, I couldn’t protect him! …And just when I start to think
we’ve lost someone…
Gilbert: Now you know the power of the Church of Axis!
In defiance of the muddy stream of mucus, Gilbert cries out and
charges forward.
Frogger is so terrified by of Gilbert’s brandished mace and shouting
that he falls right back into his throne.
Temiren: “My prince is so cool! ♪” My eyes turn into hearts. (laughs)
Chiho: Gil’s practically got us all on his back!

Otohime: Yeah. We can’t let him outdo us! GM, it’s my turn, right?
GM: That’s right—Otohime is up.
Otohime: I use a move action to run past Gil. (everyone laughs)
GM: “Are you all like him?!”
Otohime: We are all recipients of Lady Aqua’s blessings! I perform an
attack. (rolls dice) 12 to hit.
GM: (rolls dice) 9, so he gets hit and falls down.
Otohime: I got him! I’ll use Blessings, too. My damage roll is 4d6. (rolls
dice) 19 damage!
GM: His defense is 6, so he takes 13 damage.
Otohime: More got through than I thought! “Temiren, tell me! Am I ra-
diant right now?”
Temiren: You are so radiant. You were so bashful before—to think you
could be this cool!
Gilbert: All he did last time was get eaten by a toad, so yeah…
Otohime: I’ve grown over the course of this journey! With friends like
these, things might just work out.
GM: Next up is Chiho.
Chiho: I use my move action and minor action for a full movement. My
major action will be a normal attack. (rolls dice) 12. Can’t use Feint, huh…
GM: (rolls dice) He dodges!
Chiho: Urk, he dodged. Still, that means I don’t have to say anything cool.
(everyone laughs)
GM: “Were you trying to hit me with that? That sword is too much for
you. Then again, you are just a human. Unlike toads, your body is weak.”
Temiren: But she’s healthy now!
GM: “Just because she’s healthy doesn’t mean she can defeat toads! Can
she, for example, walk around soaked on rainy days and be fine?”
Chiho: Sure, why?
GM: “…Wait, really?” (everyone laughs)
Chiho: A little feverishness is fine, because I’m very healthy!
GM: “Are you sure someone hasn’t misled you…?” (laughs)
Gilbert: What are you saying? This is the power of our faith!
GM: “Oh. Uh, I see.” But now that everyone’s taken an action, Frogger uses
Double Action. He gets another turn.
Chiho: Very boss-like!
Konosuba TRPG

GM: “I will admit that you have courage to stand against toads while
armed with such pathetic weapons and attacks.”
Temiren: I wiped out two toads at once, remember?
GM: “I’m not like them! This time, I will show you the true power of the
toad king.” Frogger spends a move action to use an enemy skill called
Area Promotion: Magic. He’ll attack in an area, targeting four people max-
imum. He swings his staff, causing tadpoles to appear nearby that spit
out mucus. They target Chiho and Otohime.
Temiren: Chiho, Oto! Run away!
GM: (rolls dice) Heh! He gets a 16 to hit.
Though they try and dodge Frogger’s far-reaching attack, neither of
them can beat a 16 and thus get hit.
GM: And with Mana Convergence, Frogger adds two dice to his damage
roll.
Otohime: I use Cover on Chiho. “Chiho!” I say, pushing her out of the way!
Temiren: It’s exactly like the accident before!
Otohime: It is. But this time, things are different. After all, right over there
is…
Chiho: Is what?
Otohime: A pot?
Chiho: You’ll end up in the boiling water!
Otohime: And onto the next world.
GM: (rolls dice) He must have lost to your spirit, since he rolled low. 32
points of damage.
Otohime: If it’s magic, I take 7 off, but it still hits me for 25. I’d die. 9 less,
and I would have survived.
Gilbert: Should I use Saint Shield?
Otohime: …No. I’ll come back to life with my cheat. Now is the time to
use Return by Death!
Chiho: Otohime pushed me out of the way, so…
Gilbert: How could such a careful person die protecting his comrades?
Waaah… (rubs his eyes)
Otohime: No—I will not die!
All: Whoa!

I don’t want to die…
That thought reaches the goddess Aqua, and Otohime’s boon that
was received upon reincarnation, Return by Death, triggers.
Otohime: With skin hanging off my battered body, I am born anew! This
is the blessing of Return by Death, received from the goddess Aqua her-
self! Gil, your prayers have been answered!! (laughs)
Gilbert: I see. Thanks to you, I feel like I did the first Priestlike thing of this
whole session! (everyone laughs)
Chiho: Your plea reached Lady Aqua!
Temiren: I only joined the Axis sect because my prince invited me,
but…I feel like I’ve finally awakened to my new faith! (everyone laughs)
All: Lady Aquaaaa!
Gilbert: And so were the three baptized by Lady Aqua reborn. (laughs)
GM: “You mean this…is the power of the goddess Aqua?!”
Chiho: We are the Church of Axis!
Temiren: And may a blessing be upon!
Otohime: This wonderful world!
All: Wow! (applause)
Gilbert: We’re all gonna fumble in the next round, aren’t we? (everyone

Giant Toad to summon one Giant Toad, which I’ll mark as C. He lobs a
drug at one of the tadpoles, causing it to mature and immediately be-
come a Giant Toad. “This toad will swallow up you cursed Axis followers
all at once!” (everyone laughs)
Temiren: It’s not even big enough to do that!
Otohime: Damn you, heretic who does not fear even god!
Temiren: Aqua’s mere touch would melt a toad!
Gilbert: At around this time in the novels, Aqua was being eaten by a
Giant Toad. (laughs)
Temiren: And bawling her eyes out. (laughs)
GM: If you want to learn more about that, read the original work. That
ends the Setup Process.
Gilbert: So it’s my Main Process, right? Between Bless and Heal, which
would be better?
Chiho: I think Heal makes more sense this turn.
Gilbert: All right. Now that we have three more pious Axis followers, I’m
excited. (rolls dice) I cast it successfully! Seems as good a time as any to
say it, a blessing on this first adventure!
All: (cheers)
Gilbert: (rolls dice) Restore 16 points.
Otohime: I’m fully healed!
GM: …If anyone reads this replay before the original novel series, they’ll
think the Church of Axis is amazing… (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: I think it’s fine to do it in that order! Don’t worry about it!
Temiren: I’m next up. I spend my move action on Magic Blast, target
Frogger and Giant Toad C, and use Freeze Gust as my major action. (rolls
dice) 20 to hit!
GM: Frogger will try to dodge first. (rolls dice) 4, so no. Giant Toad C…
(rolls dice) fails with an 8.
Temiren: (rolls dice) That was a good roll! 22 points. “We’ll all survive and
go home together!”
GM: Giant Toad C takes 20 damage, and Frogger takes 18.
Temiren: Frogger’s next, right?
GM: …Looks like he’ll have to do an area attack on Chiho and Otohime
to get past them. (rolls dice) 13 to hit. If you take damage, you’ll be dazed.
Otohime: (rolls dice) The dice say 5, so my dodge is 8. I fail and get hit.
Replay Section
75
Chiho: I use 2 Blessing points to dodge. (rolls dice) Passed with a 14—
just barely.
GM: (rolls dice) Huh? A 2 on the damage roll?! That’s 22 points of magic
damage.
Gilbert: Leave this to me. Time for Saint Shield. (rolls dice) I reduce it by
10.
Otohime: 5 damage gets through. I have 11 HP left.
Chiho: It’s a good thing he used Heal on you!
Otohime: It’s my turn then. What should I do…?
Temiren: Giant Toads have 37 HP, so you can’t one-shot this one. I think
you should go for Frogger.
Otohime: Sounds good. I’ll aim for the king! (rolls dice) 18 to hit.
GM: “I know your movements. Come at me!” (rolls dice) Fails with 14. “I
said I knew them, not that I could dodge them.”
Otohime: Did you really know them then?! (laughs)
Gilbert: This guy is funny. It’s too bad. If he believed in the Church of Axis,
he could have been our friend instead of a toad.
GM: “Your face is too scary. I wouldn’t want to.” (everyone laughs)
Gilbert: You bastaaaaaard!! (laughs)
GM: Go ahead and roll for damage.
Otohime: I’ll use 2 Blessings on the damage roll. (rolls dice) 22 points!
GM: He takes 16 damage!
Otohime: Look—even if you’re a defensive character like me, just use a
Blessing or two, and you can really dish out some damage!
Chiho: Who are you talking to? (laughs)
Otohime: Those who’ll go on future adventures!
GM: It’s Giant Toad C’s turn to act. It moves, as if to say, Heh. Watch me—
I’ll stop you. It spends its move action to use Swallow and attacks Chiho.
(rolls dice) 10 to hit.
Chiho: I expect to be able to dodge it, but maybe…
Otohime: Just dodge it normally. If you fail, I’ll get another spotlight mo-
ment. (laughs)
Chiho: Gotcha. (rolls dice) I didn’t dodge. And I’ve given Otohime his
moment. (laughs)
Otohime: I use Cover!
GM: Then I’ll roll for damage. (rolls dice) 22 damage.
Konosuba TRPG

Otohime: Subtract 16, and I take 6. If you could take the other 6 off with
Saint Shield…
Gilbert: Hmm. Should I?
Otohime: Why are you unsure?! I worship Aqua, too, you know! (laughs)
Gilbert: No, I was just wondering if it would be better to heal afterward,
but I shouldn’t have saved it. Since you’re an Axis follower, I’ll help you.
(rolls dice) That takes off 6 points.
Otohime: Perfect! I don’t hesitate to use Cover to stop the attack. “This is
what team play looks like—something you toads don’t do!”
GM: But you were such a hodgepodge before.
Chiho: Chiho attacks. She uses Quick-Draw Technique for her move ac-
tion, Feint for her minor action, and attacks Frogger with her major ac-
tion.
GM: “Why, you—! No matter what sort of strike you throw at me, I just
have to roll two sixes, and I’ll dodge it!”
Temiren: But Feint’s Effect says he gets a −1d6 penalty on his roll, right?
(everyone laughs)
GM: “Did I…not get two sixes?”
Chiho: (rolls dice) 16 on the hit check.
GM: “That chained great sword could never possibly hit me!” Frogger
says, readying himself.
Chiho: I use 3 Blessings. (rolls dice) 46 damage!
GM: Frogger says, “I’ll stop it with my bare hands!” before proceeding to
slip and get hit by Chiho’s attack.
Gilbert: Looks like the mucus all over the place worked against you in
the end.
Chiho swings her great sword down with all her might, her joy at be-
ing healthy on full display.
Frogger tries to catch the blade, but the mucus he spread everywhere
makes his feet slip out from under him.
And then he takes the full force of the blow.
Chiho: Is this…Lady Aqua’s power…?
Temiren: Yes!
Chiho: This isn’t the strength of humans—it’s the might of the Church
of Axis!
Konosuba TRPG
78
GM: “I will never acknowledge the Church of Axis! Never, I say…!” Frog-
ger declares before falling over.
Temiren: What about Giant Toad C?
GM: Since the Toad King fell, it’s gone into a panic. It’ll probably leave on
its own if you ignore it.
Otohime: All right, then, back to your home in the wild.
Perhaps the toad will return some day.
But that is a story for another time.
GM: That brings combat to an end. You can rescue Hanako right away.
Otohime: I get her down from the metal plank.
GM: “Thank you, humans. You have defended peace in these lands,” the
cow…seems to say after being rescued. (laughs)
Temiren: I’m so glad you’re safe, Hanako.
GM: Now it’s time to roll for loot.
Chiho: I have 1 Blessing left.
Gilbert: So do I.
Temiren: I’ll use all those I have remaining.
The loot drops ended up as follows:
•High-quality toad meat ×1
•Ruby ×5
•Toad mucus ×3
Temiren: I got high-quality meat, my prince!
Gilbert: Oh! It must be Lady Aqua’s divine influence.
Otohime: I rolled a 4, so I didn’t get anything…
Gilbert: Don’t be so down. You have Return by Death—divine protection
from Lady Aqua herself, right?
Otohime: Sure, but I used up all my Blessings.
GM: After defeating Frogger, you bring the mooing Hanako back to the
farm.
Chiho: That was quite a battle.
Otohime: But we gained something irreplaceable during it.

Chiho: And what’s that?
Otohime: Teamwork, of course.
Gilbert: Ah!
GM: …You engrave that precious experience into your hearts, then bring
Hanako back to the farm. That ends the Climax Phase.

Ending 1: For This Wonderful Feast
The ambitions of the Toad King, Frogger, have been crushed.
Hanako the kidnapped cow was saved.
The party brings her out of the cavern and back to the farm, where its
owner, Arm Fowner, awaits.
The time has come to complete the quest.
GM: Now then, we’re in the Ending Phase. You’ve all come back to the
farm with Hanako in tow.
Temiren: We got two chunks of high-quality toad meat, so we’re feeling
pretty good about ourselves, huh?
Gilbert: That’s right!
GM: When you return to the farm, the owner thanks you. “Oh, Hanako!
Thank you so much for bringing her back. She’s quite a clever one, you
know.”
Otohime: Yeah, she certainly seemed like it.
GM: Once you journey back to Axel and report to the Adventurers Guild,
you’ll receive your rewards.
After parting with Hanako and the farm owner, the adventurers return
home.
As is ever the case, adventurers of all kinds are gathered at the guild’s
reception counter.
The lady working the desk receives the party’s arrival with a smile.
GM: The receptionist at the Adventurers Guild asks you how it went.
Chiho: We completed the quest with flying colors!
GM: “Then it seems your adventure was a success. We’ve received a re-
port of your exploits as well. Your reward is 100 KE, and the farm threw in
a bonus for rescuing their cow. The bonus is 150 KE.”
All: Whoa!
Otohime: Hanako was worth more than the quest! Maybe she’s one of
those cows who wins awards at competitive exhibitions or something.

Chiho: Oh, like Wagyu competitions.
The scenario had a bonus worked into it from the beginning.
Because of how the role-playing went, the GM altered the bonus to be
a reward for saving Hanako.
Gilbert: Oh, there’s something else we need to disclose. There was an
irreverent man named Frogger who stole a Sacred Treasure from the
Church of Axis. He was a general in the Demon King’s army.
Chiho: Is it okay for the original author to declare that?
Gilbert: …So I say, exaggerating things a bit.
GM: “A general?!” The receptionist lady goes into a fluster, but then she
checks her notes and realizes Frogger’s not quite at that level. She tilts
her head. “A general? Well, I’m not surprised someone would pretend to
be one.”
All: She saw right through the lie?!
Chiho: I don’t think Frogger is the only one at fault. He was in a bad
place, and he lost all hope when he became a toad. His life was lacking
something crucial.
GM: “And that is?”
Chiho: Faith. (everyone laughs)
The receptionist averts her eyes a bit.
GM: “Uh-huh.” She gives you a polite smile but tries not to look at you.
Otohime: We’re already being treated like that, huh? (laughs)
Temiren: Still, that faith truly brought us together, didn’t it?
Otohime: Yeah. A wonderful blessing!
GM: “Umm… We will handle the matter of the Sacred Treasure and return
it to the shrine it belongs in.”
Gilbert: Thanks.
Temiren: Well, now that the quest is over, what say we go for a drink?
Chiho: Let’s! Chiho has always dreamed of having a drink after finishing
a quest!
Temiren: Then let’s head to the pub and order for four.
Gilbert: As someone who follows the goddess of parties, I’ll have to show
off at least one party trick, like The Wonders of Nature!
Konosuba TRPG
82
GM: The goddess Aqua’s signature move. You would probably have to
learn Party Skill for it, though.
Gilbert: Oh, right. How rude of me! I still can’t use Lady Aqua’s famous
technique—especially not without the skill!
Otohime: (looking at the character sheets) None of us have Party Skill.
Gilbert: Maybe that’s what I’ll put my points into.
Otohime: Into party tricks?
Gilbert: According to my faith, that would be the right move.
Temiren: Then let’s get going!
Gilbert, Chiho, Otohime, and Temiren leave the Adventurers Guild be-
hind and head for a pub in the leisure district.
There, they drink all the booze they can, make noise, do party tricks,
and restore their energy.
This world is a wonderful one.
And one day, it is sure to be blessed.
GM: …And that about wraps it up for the scenario. Thank you all so much
for playing!
All: Thank you! (applause)

—FIN—
Konosuba TRPG

When the Ending Phase is over, and the GM de-
clares the end of the scenario, the game moves
into After Play. This page explains how to handle
things during After Play.
Lifestyle Payments
The player characters must pay the cost for what-
ever Lifestyle they decided on during Preplay.
Each should pay the set amount of money. If they
can’t, they only get half the experience points.
Distributing Experience Points
The GM distributes experience points, or EXP, to
each player. On the record sheet’s Experience
Point Table section is a checklist of whether to get
experience points for certain things.
▼Participated in the session until the end
Check this entry if the players participated in the
session until its conclusion. If anyone leaves part-
way through the session, they won’t get this. They
will still get experience points from other entries,
however.
Calculating Experience Points
Experience points are checked off on the Experi-
ence Point Table section on each player’s record
sheet. Check these off on a per-player basis to cal-
culate the experience points that will be given to
each individual player.
The experience-point entries to check are below.
▼Participated in the session until the end: +1
point
Whether or not player characters died, check this if
everyone participated until the end of the session.
▼Completed the quest: GM’s discretion
Add this if the GM decides the quest (page 263)
was completed. It is recommended to use the
enemy level of enemies encountered in the
Climax Phase (the highest one, if they differ) as
the number of points to add.
▼Enemies encountered: +[Total enemy level
encountered ÷ number of player characters]
points
Experience points are added based on the com-
bined level of the enemies encountered. The re-
sults of the battle don’t matter.
▼ Traps encountered: +[Total trap level en-
countered ÷ number of player characters]
points
Experience points are added based on the com-
bined level of the traps encountered. The results of
the trap disarmaments, etc. don’t matter.
▼Good role-play: +1 point
Look back on the session and see if the players
role-played well.
In the replay session, the GM decided everyone
role-played well, so he checked this off for each
player.
•Said or did things that helped another player: +1
point
•Helped the session move along: +1 point. The
GM can give this to any player who helped things
move along. The players can suggest who de-
serves this as well.
•Helped with providing a location or other things,
contacting others, or adjusting around participant
schedules: +1 point
Players can make their own recommendations for
the above entries as well. The GM decides based
on this and checks the boxes.
Distributing Experience Points to the GM
Each player writes the number of experience
points they gained on the session sheet. Take the
total number of experience points of all players,
divide it by 3 (or 2 if there were two players), then
add one if the GM helped procure a play space,
provided things for gameplay, contacted players,
or worked to adjust the schedule around the par-
ticipants. Give this amount of EXP to the GM.
Checking Player Characters
If no player characters are dead, all damage is
erased, all HP and MP is recovered, and all debuffs
are cleansed. They do not carry over into the next
session. Each character’s number of Blessings re-
turns to what it was when the session began.
Player Character Growth Using Experience
Points
By using experience points, the players and the
GM can advance their own player characters.

About This Book
If you are reading this book, it likely means you’ve also read Konosuba:
God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! and bought this thinking it was a
supplementary book.
Or perhaps, if you’ve played many tabletop role-playing games in the
past, you picked this out thinking it was a brand-new game.
You wouldn’t be wrong on either count.
This is a new TRPG, or tabletop role-playing game, based on Konosuba:
God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (henceforth Konosuba).
■WHAT IS A TABLETOP ROLE-PLAYING GAME?
A tabletop role-playing game is a game where the players collaborate
with one another to collectively tell a fun and exciting story. Usually, one
of those players is the game master (henceforth abbreviated as GM), who
controls the world and the antagonists of the story.
The GM prepares the scenario to play, and the other players each take
control of a character who exists in the game’s world. These are called play-
er characters, also abbreviated as PCs.
The basic flow of a tabletop role-playing game goes something like this:
Using the scenario they prepared as a general narrative structure, the
GM explains to the players what sort of situation they’re in. Then the play-
ers think about what actions their characters will take and what decisions
they’ll make, before telling them to the GM.
The GM matches those choices up with the present circumstances,
determines the result of the players’ actions, and explains the outcome.
(Sometimes, the GM will use the rules or information in this book to figure
out whether a player character’s actions succeed or fail.)
Victory and failure don’t exist in a tabletop role-playing game in the way
they might in other games. If anything counts as victory, it’s when every-
one—including the GM—has a good time.
At times, player characters may die, or their adventure won’t go very
well. Yet if the players can draw enjoyment from that storytelling process,
that in itself is a victory. Tabletop role-playing games are all about the fun
of building a story with your friends.
Preface
Character Section
87
■WHAT IS KONOSUBA: GOD’S BLESSING ON THIS
WONDERFUL WORLD!?!
Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! is a light-novel series
written by Natsume Akatsuki. It first went on sale in 2013, published
in Japan by Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, and has since evolved into a
super-popular franchise spanning manga, anime, and video games.
The books tell a fantasy story that takes place in another world, or
an isekai. The main character, Kazuma, a resident of modern Japan, is
reincarnated into this isekai with the goddess Aqua. What follows is a
comical tale about meeting new friends and fighting the bad guys. This
book is Konosuba in a tabletop role-playing game form.
■KONOSUBA: GOD’S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL
WORLD! TRPG
In Konosuba TRPG, players will become adventurers in the world of
Konosuba, taking on tasks called quests from the Adventurers Guild to
exterminate monsters or explore dungeons.
Adventurers are classified into several classes, such as Warriors, who
fight with weapons, or Wizards, who fight using magic.
◆ADVENTURERS
In the world of Konosuba, the term adventurer has two meanings.
The first is the general lifestyle: people who live by taking quests from
the Adventurers Guild or elsewhere and completing them for rewards.
The second is a specific class, like Warrior or Wizard, called Adventurer.
■THE GOLDEN RULE
In Konosuba TRPG, all the game’s participants work together to create a
single story. The fun is all in the process of creating that shared narrative
and in enjoying what the group has crafted. This is the most important
rule of the game—the golden rule. Everyone should endeavor to create
an experience that is enjoyable for all involved.
This golden rule should be prioritized above anything in this book, any
other books related to Konosuba TRPG, and any and all of the rulings or
information in them.
THE GM’S AUTHORITY
The GM conducting a session of Konosuba TRPG is granted the following
authority and abilities. However, even with these abilities and authority,
Konosuba TRPG
88
the GM should strive to follow the rules to the best of their ability. In ad-
dition, all players in the session (including the GM) should strive to apply
fair and proper rules.
▼RULE ARBITRATION
The game space described in the session is a second reality, one brought
to life via the participants’ imagination and given structure with the
game’s rules. This book describes rules for simulating, as much as is possi-
ble, a “reality inside the game.” However, there are times when something
the rules do not cover can occur.
The GM has the final say in decisions when one of these situations oc-
curs, or if there is uncertainty about which rules to apply, if any. In keeping
with that, the GM may create new rules, change rules, or even decide not
to use existing rules.
▼REJECTING AND DECIDING ON RESULTS
The GM can choose to reject any player checks or dice rolls that the
GM either did not witness or did not permit, and the GM can also make
players perform dice rolls at will. Additionally, the GM may freely decide
the results of any checks or dice rolls that the GM makes, such as for
non-player characters (NPCs), without rolling any dice.
WHEN RULING MISTAKES ARE MADE
If the GM or any player gets a rule wrong, quickly correct it and follow the
correct rule in the future.
When such mistakes are made, it is best not to correct the error by
rolling back time in the game. (This is the same as how in sports, once a
decision is made, it’s almost never overturned.) Trying to rewind like this
might end up making things take a long time or even loop. If this hap-
pens, the GM’s authority to arbitrate rules will become nominal. In such
an event, other players may reinterpret the rules as they wish to decide
on their own results. To prevent this, a GM must not rewind time.
Furthermore, a player is correct to point out that a rule is being applied
incorrectly. The GM should immediately consult the rules and use the
correct ones. However, this doesn’t necessarily apply in rule-arbitration
situations (see page 88). Additionally, the players should not stall the
game by objecting to the GM’s decisions.
GOAL OF THE SESSION
The act of playing a tabletop role-playing game, or gathering together
Character Section
89
for it, is called a session.
The session is meant to be a fully enjoyable time for everyone involved.
The ultimate goal of a session is to have all participants walk away from
it wanting to play again.
This isn’t actually very difficult. The participants will all gain as many
experience points as they can. That’s what “victory” means for Konosuba
TRPG.
Konosuba TRPG is also designed so that sessions are fun and interesting.
Please play through a session with the goal of all participants gaining
experience points from helping one another out and working together.
What You’ll Need to Play Konosuba TRPG
In order to play Konosuba TRPG, you’ll need to
have a few small items ready.
▼ Players
To play the game, you’ll need a GM plus
several people—preferably between three
and five—to be the players.
▼ Six-sided dice
Konosuba TRPG uses six-sided dice with faces
that go from 1 to 6. Each player should ideal-
ly have three to five of them ready. In certain
cases, you may need ten or more, so if the
GM brings extra, you won’t have any issues if
it comes to that. You can buy dice at hobby
shops, dollar stores, and on the Internet.
▼Writing tools
The best writing implements to use are
erasable ones, such as pencils. Of course, all
participants will need their own. The GM will
also need black and red pens.
▼ Rule book
This book. Ideally, each player should have
their own rule book so that they can quickly
reference information in it when needed.
▼ Copies of the various sheets
You’ll need to copy the following sheets in this
book before playing:
• Character sheets (or sample characters) - one
for each player
•Record sheets - one for each player
•Session sheet - one
Konosuba TRPG
90
■OPTIONAL RULE
This book includes an optional rule known as cheats. The game’s par-
ticipants should decide among themselves whether to use this optional
rule.
Cheats, especially in the hands of lower-level player characters, can
make the game more difficult to balance. They offer a lot of fun in return,
of course, but that doesn’t mean everyone will enjoy them. Thus, the sys-
tem is made so that the game’s participants can decide for themselves
whether or not to use them.
There’s nothing wrong with players wanting to use cheats, but the GM
has the final say in the matter.
■TERM REFERENCES
As you read through this book, you may come across words and terms
you aren’t familiar with. The next few pages contain definitions of all the
terminology that appears in Konosuba TRPG.

Terminology Lookup 1 (Basics)
This chart provides an explanation of the ter-
minology relating to the game rules used in the
Konosuba TRPG. It should come in handy when
you hear a phrase you don’t know.
Handling fractions
Whenever a fraction occurs during mathematical
operations, such as division, round it down to the
nearest whole number unless stated otherwise.
Reading the dice
Konosuba TRPG uses only six-sided dice to gener-
ate random numbers. Whenever the text refers to
a die or dice, it means six-sided ones. Here is how
to read descriptions of the dice.
•nd6
Roll n number of dice (n being an integer of
1 or more) and add up the results to get the final
generated number. (d6 stands for six-sided die)
•d66
Roll two dice, using one as the tens place and
the other as the ones place. When you roll d66, de-
cide in advance which die will represent the tens
position and which the ones position before roll-
ing. A result will always be from 11 to 66.
RoC
RoC stands for Roll or Choose. This means you can
either roll dice for something or choose a result.
You can also choose after rolling. When a table
or list gives a number, such as 00, that can’t ap-
pear from a dice roll, that choice must be made
voluntarily.
Descriptor format
Konosuba TRPG uses the following stylistic choices
for various game terminology.
• New and important terms are bolded (usually in
the section that describes what they mean)
• Ability scores are capitalized (such as Agility, Base
Strength, etc.)
• Skill names and cheat names are capitalized (such
as Strong Attack)
• Trap names and object names are capitalized
When square brackets (“[ ]”) appear in a formula,
it is an indication to substitute whatever’s inside
them for a number.
Game master
GM for short. The player hosting the game. They
deal with what happens during the game, the
data needed, and rules decisions.
Player
A participant in the game other than the GM.
Each player creates a character to be their avatar,
through which they play the game..

Terminology Lookup 2 (Rules)
Below is an explanation of the game terminology
relating to the game rules used in Konosuba TRPG.
It should come in handy when you hear a term
you aren’t acquainted with.
HP
Short for hit points. Called vitality in the original
work. Measures a character’s physical durability
and decreases with damage taken. It can go below
zero if the character takes damage. When below
zero HP, a character is knocked out and is in danger
of dying.
MP
Short for mental points. Called magic power or
mana in the original work. Decreases when you
use skills, etc. Unlike HP, the lowest MP can go is
zero.
NPC
Short for non-player character. Refers to any
GM-controlled character who doesn’t belong to
a player.
PC
Short for player character. Refers to the charac-
ters whom the players control. Generally, a single
player will only control one character.
Character level
A number measuring a character’s strength
and the breadth of experience they have in
adventuring. A higher-level character is typically
more powerful. Character level is sometimes short-
ened to CL.
Class
In the original work, classes were also called jobs or
occupations. A class describes the role a character
has during combat and adventuring. Some exam-
ples include a Warrior, who fights with weapons, or
a Wizard, who uses magic.
Starter class
The classes you can choose from when first
creating your character are called starter classes.
Advanced class
An advanced class is a class that is more special-
ized than a starter class. A character can change to
one of these classes at character level 10 or above.
Skill
Skills include combat techniques, magic spells,
special skills such as lockpicking, and unique traits
such as mental acuity.
Experience points
Points used to track player-character growth.
These are given to the players, not their characters.
Session
A full playthrough of a game of Konosuba TRPG.
Dice roll
Rolling the dice to determine things like wheth-
er an action succeeds or how much damage an
attack does.
Ability score

gence, etc. There are seven ability scores: Strength,
Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Perception, Mind,
and Luck. In some places, these are abbreviated as
STR, DEX, AGI, INT, PER, MND, and LUK.
Blessings

protagonist’s) possibilities during a session. Using
Blessings grants a player various bonuses, such as
being able to reroll their dice or roll extra ones.

acter’s Main Process that doesn’t require a minor
action or major action.
Minor action
Any action that can be taken once per round and
doesn’t require an action check.

Terminology Lookup 3 (World)
Isekai
Literally, it means other world, alternate universe,
etc. This game takes place in an isekai—in short, a
world resembling those depicted in fantasy video
games. Unlike modern Japan, magic exists here.
Some parts of civilization and culture are reminis-
cent of the Middle Ages on Earth.
In-universe time period
This game takes place at around the same time
as the first book in the original work. More specif-
ically, when Kazuma and Aqua arrive in the other
world.
Axel
A town where fledgling adventurers gather. The
main setting, both in this and the original work.
Geographically, it is the farthest settlement from
the Demon King’s castle, and the monsters that
appear around it are relatively weak. The town
itself is fortified by stone walls that encircle the
settlement.
Adventurer
In a narrow sense, Adventurer is one of the classes
that a PC can be. In a broader sense, anyone who is
employed by the Adventurers Guild and takes on
jobs like slaying monsters or protecting merchants
is called an adventurer. All the player characters in
this game are adventurers.
Adventurers Guild
A place that organizes and oversees adventurous
quests. The establishment also buys up goods that
adventurers collect during their excursions. It also
serves as a restaurant and pub. People have to
pay 1,000 eris to become a guild member. All the
player characters in this game have already paid
this fee.
Inns
The sleeping facilities used by many adventurers
who don’t have proper homes in Axel. Relatively
highly priced compared with Japan.
Stables
Facilities in Axel meant to shelter horses. People
can stay in these as well and can rent a room for
a cheaper price than at inns. Adventurers without
any extra money stay in these.
The Kingdom of Belzerg
The name of the country Axel is in. As its name
suggests, a monarch reigns over it, with nobles
next in the hierarchy.
Goddess Aqua
A goddess whose job it is to guide the young dead
of Japan. She is also the goddess of water. She was
sending Japan’s dead to this isekai to be heroes,
but after a bit of a mishap, she wound up going to
the isekai herself along with Kazuma.
Axis disciples
Those who worship the goddess Aqua. Those out-
side their number think they’re weirdos and that
it’s best to avoid them.
Goddess Eris
The goddess of fortune and the most widely
revered deity in the isekai. The world’s currency is
also named after her.
Eris disciples
Those who worship the goddess Eris. Said to be
the biggest faith in the isekai. Coincidentally, Axis
followers have a fierce enmity toward Eris and her
disciples.
Crimson Magic Clan
A clan of people with crimson-colored eyes who
live in the Crimson Magic Village. They are born
with extremely potent magical powers and intel-
ligence, making them suited to spell-casting. Gen-
erally speaking, they have very unusual names,
and many act in exaggerated, theatrical ways.
Monsters
Any of the various magical beasts inhabiting the
isekai. They range from goblins and kobolds to
cabbages and lettuce.
The Demon King
The king of the demons. Leads his forces in an in-
vasion of human nations.
The Demon King’s forces
An army with the Demon King at its head. Includes
eight demons called generals.
Hero
Someone who has defeated the Demon King or
has a good chance to in the future. Sometimes,
people reincarnated from Earth are dubbed hero
candidates.

Before Creating a Character
In order to play Konosuba TRPG, you’ll need to make a character. The one
you create will become an adventurer in the world of Konosuba. They
will be your avatar and will go off on all kinds of quests alongside the
characters made by the other players.
Player characters have several ability scores—numbers that represent
things like physical strength or intelligence. They also possess a num-
ber of techniques they have learned, called skills, and various pieces of
equipment like weapons and armor. Part of making your character will
be deciding on all this.
However, characters aren’t represented merely by numbers. Each also
needs a name, a gender, an age, a birthplace, and a past—all the things
that make them unique.
First, we’ll explain how to create a player character in order.
■DATA REPRESENTING A PLAYER CHARACTER
As previously stated, player characters consist of several pieces of data—
their race, their class, their ability scores, their skills, their items, and other
personal information such as their name and past. Before creating a char-
acter, we’ll explain each of these elements in detail.
RACE
The Konosuba TRPG basic rule book allows you to choose one of three
races.
The first is the Reincarnated Person—one who has died on Earth and
has been reborn into a new world by the power of a goddess.
The second is the Native Inhabitant, who was born in the world of
Konosuba and lives there.
And the third is the Crimson Magic Clan Member, a person possessed
of incredible magic powers.
Your race will decide certain external features about your character,
as well as the abilities they had when they were born. Each race also has
classes they’re slightly better suited for, so when choosing a race, you
may also want to think about what class you’d like to pick.
Character Creation
Character Section
95
An explanation of each of the races can be found on pages 126
through 131, so please refer to them for more information.
CLASS
Classes represent your character’s role: whether it’s a Warrior, who spe-
cializes in fighting with a weapon; a Priest, who specializes in healing
magic; or a Wizard, who specializes in attack magic. You can choose one
class for your character.
ABILITY SCORES
Just like in the real world, the denizens of Konosuba are all unique—
some are strong, others are weak, some are good with their hands, and
others are clumsy. Ability scores are used to denote what physical or
mental advantages and disadvantages a character has.
There are seven ability scores: Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence,
Perception, Mind, and Luck, each of which has its own fixed value. (Some-
times, these are abbreviated to STR, DEX, AGI, INT, PER, MND, and LUK.)
The lowest a score can be is zero, and there is no limit to how high it can
be. The higher the number, the more it indicates a character excelling in
fields related to that score.
The types of ability scores and what they mean are detailed more on
SKILLS
If ability scores represent a character’s fundamental abilities, then skills
represent their special talents, techniques, and traits. For example, pos-
sessing Athletic Skill would mean a character has high physical abilities,
while a Weapon Skill would indicate their proficiency with a certain
weapon.
Skills come in several types: racial skills, which are unique to each race;
class skills, which are unique to each class; and general skills, which can
be acquired regardless of what sort of class you choose.
There are also enemy skills, which the enemies of the player characters
may possess.
ITEMS
A character’s items include the weapons and armor they have equipped,
as well as the various tools used in adventuring. All a character’s items
form what is called their inventory.
There are three types of items that can be placed in an inventory:
Konosuba TRPG
96
weapons and armor that are currently equipped, or equipment; the
items packed into a backpack or pouch, or belongings; and those re-
maining items that fall into neither category.
BACKGROUND
A character’s Background includes details such as their name, gender,
race, and appearance, as well as their Life Path, which describes things
like their Origin and history.
HOW TO CREATE A CHARACTER
Below is the explanation on how to create a player character.
You’ll need a copy of a sample character sheet, a copy of a blank char-
acter sheet, a writing implement to write on the latter, plus two dice. It’s
easiest to understand how to make a character if you follow along with
the next steps as you do it.
TWO WAYS OF CREATING A CHARACTER
This book introduces two methods of character creation: quick start
and construction. Players will use either one of these two methods to
create their character. However, if the GM specifies one method or the
other, players should follow that.
▼QUICK START
Quick start is creating a character based off a sample character who al-
ready has everything but their background decided. On the sample-char-
acter pages, it will list their information along with a visual depiction and
examples of possible settings. By selecting one, then deciding on their
background, you’ll have a complete character.
Quick start creation of characters is explained further on page 98.
▼CONSTRUCTION
Construction is the other method, where the player will follow a set pro-
cess to freely choose everything about their character. Because there’s a
broad amount of information the player needs to know, this takes more
time and effort. If you plan on playing Konosuba TRPG several times, or if
you want your character to have long-term progression, you may want to
choose this option.
The construction process is explained on page 116.
Character Section
97
▼BACKGROUND
Whether you choose the quick start
method or the construction one, the
process for determining your char-
acter’s background will be the same.
Whichever you pick, use page 110
to decide on your character’s back-
ground.
CHEATS
Cheats are a form of special ability or
trait based on characters who appear
in the original work. For more infor-
mation on them, please see page 196.
By choosing to use cheats, sessions
will be more bombastic and unpre-
dictable. At the same time, they could
break down the session’s whole pro-
gression.
If the GM decides to permit them, a
character can be made with a cheat.

Quick Start
Quick Start character creation is made for those
who have never played Konosuba TRPG before and
want to get a taste of it, those who can’t dedicate
too much time to playing, and those who want to
start playing right away.
■Quick Start Process
The process for creating a character using quick
start is detailed below.
Choose a Sample Character
First, select any sample character to serve as your
character’s model. Sample characters are listed on
In an actual session, the GM may designate which
sample characters you can use. If that happens,
discuss with the other players which one each of
you will pick from the allowed characters.
By making a full copy of a sample character’s
illustration and information page, you’ll be able
to use them in the game right away. (You’re al-
lowed to make duplicates of sample characters for
personal use.) The GM may also copy the sample
characters on their own and have the players
choose from them.
▼Abbreviations for sample characters
Some of the terms used in the sample characters’
information are abbreviated. Please use the follow-
ing list as reference:
•Setup -> Setup Phase
•Move -> Move action
•Minor -> Minor action
•Major -> Major action
•Before Check -> Right before a check
•After Check -> Right after a check
•Before DR -> Right before rolling for damage
•After DR -> Right after rolling for damage
Deciding on a Background
After that, you determine the settings for your
character, like their name, gender, and age. Then
select an Origin, Circumstance, and Goal for
becoming an adventurer via the Life Path. Write all
this down, using page 99 as a reference.
page 110 explains how to determine your charac-
ter’s Background.

You are a Reincarnated Person
who has come to this world from
modern Japan. A whole bunch of
stuff happened, and before you
knew it, you’d started working as
an adventurer. (You’ve done it for
about one light novel’s worth of
time.) You’re scraping by with what
little knowledge you gained in your
modern home world, as well as
your natural luck (or lack of it). But
will you really be able to defeat the
Demon King like this? It certainly
doesn’t seem like it… Maybe it
won’t be so bad just living in this
world as a regular old adventurer.

You were chosen by a goddess to
live a second life in this new world
and become a hero who will save its
people. Of course, you’ve only just
begun your adventure, and having a
real sword in your hands is nothing
like being a hero in a video game.
In your past life, lifting this hunk
of steel would’ve been impossible.
Yet now you can swing it like it’s
nothing, sprint with all your might,
and slug it out with monsters (yes,
amazingly, there are monsters in
this world) without even breaking a
sweat. You’re not just some nobody.
You are this world’s hero: a warrior
aiming to one day slay the Demon
King.

You are a Priest working as an
adventurer—the healer every
party needs. A holy goddess who
shepherds her flock has given
you guidance and strength. And
now you have begun walking the
path of an adventurer. You’ve set
forth to use your abilities, your
restorative magic, for those who
seek it out. Your fellow adventurers
have welcomed you warmly, and
you’ve come to realize that being
an adventurer is your calling in
life. There was no mistake in your
patron deity’s guidance. You pray
for the world, for those in it, and for
the rest of your party.

You’re a Thief. That doesn’t make
you a criminal, of course—it’s
just the class written on your
Adventurer’s Card. You have many
jobs, only one of which is combat,
and you have to use your head in
many situations. You don’t know
who’s the smartest one in the party,
but you do know you’re the one
who thinks the most. That means
you inevitably confront dangers like
traps on your own. You hog all the
risks while your comrades watch
over you. And that momentary pang
of absolute loneliness, despite them
being there for you, is thrilling.

Deciding on a Background
After using the quick start method or the con-
struction method to determine all the statistics,
items, and other information for your character,
you’ll determine your Background. This Back-
ground includes information like your character’s
name, age, and gender, as well as their upbringing,
past events, and objectives in their Life Path.
■Life Path
A character’s Life Path consists of three things: an
Origin, which describes your character’s upbring-
ing; a Circumstance, which is an event from your
character’s past; and a Goal, or the reason your
character’s quests.
To determine these things, RoC using the proper
tables for each.
Life Path tables are separated per race into Rein-
carnated Person, Native Inhabitant, and Crimson
Magic Clan. When deciding your character’s Life
Path, use the table for their race.
Origin
Your character’s Origin describes what kind of en-
vironment they were born and raised into. Roll two
dice, using one as the ones digit and the other as
the tens digit, to generate a result between 11 and
66. (Decide which die will be which before rolling.
It may help to use differently colored dice.) Then
find your result on the proper Origin Table (pages
character sheet.
▼Reincarnated Person Origins
Reincarnated Person Origins describe what
brought the character to the world of Konosuba.
Circumstance
Your character’s Circumstance describes some
past event they encountered. Like your character’s
Origin, you may determine this by either rolling on
the table on page 114 or by choosing your own. In
either case, write it in the Circumstance section of
your character sheet.
Goal
Your character’s Goal describes what they seek by
adventuring. Like your character’s Origin, you may
determine this by either rolling on the table on
page 115 or by choosing your own. In either case,
write it in the Goal section of your character sheet.
■Other Details
Players can freely determine the following de-
tails for themselves. Decide on each one, then
write them in the appropriate sections of your
character sheet.
Name, Gender, Age
Players can decide all these for themselves. When
using quick start, they can also change the sample
characters’ appearance and background informa-
tion. Just because the illustration shows a male
character doesn’t mean you have to make them
one. The same goes for age. Players should decide
for themselves.
Appearance
We recommend basing details like hair color, eye
color, skin color, height, and weight on the details
of each race. For those who can draw, feel free to
use the provided space on the character sheet to
depict your character’s appearance.
Miscellaneous Details
Players can come up with other information that
doesn’t go on the character sheet. Things like
friends, family, events in their lives, or other unique
physical traits. However, these may create a con-
flict with the scenario the GM has prepared, so if
you decide to do this, discuss it closely with the
GM and have everyone agree to these extra char-
acter details.

You’re on a quest for something. It could be a great power, treasure, or a way to return to

work just like them, or perhaps, you want to be a famous adventurer one day.

adventurer, slay the Demon King, and bring blessings upon this world. That is why you
act.

what’s important in life. Why get ahead of yourself and have some lofty goal?

(page 110)
In contrast to the quick start method (page 98),
construction allows you to pick and choose all the
things that go into making your character.
■Deciding on a Race
Choose either Reincarnated Person, Native Inhabi-
tant, or Crimson Magic Clan Member, then write it
on your character sheet.
Determining Base Ability Scores
First, determine your character’s base ability
scores. On the lower part of your record sheet,
there is a table for calculating base ability scores.
Using this will make it easy to determine what the
numbers should be.
Refer to the base ability score table on page 120
and write the base ability scores—Strength,
Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Perception, Mind,
and Luck—for your chosen race in the Race
column of the base ability score table on the
record sheet. These scores are called base Strength,
base Dexterity, etc.
▼Allotting bonus points
When creating your character, you are given 5 bo-
nus points. Assign these freely to whatever base
ability scores you like. You can put all 5 into a single
ability score or use 1 on five different ones. How-
ever, none of your base ability scores may go over
13 while creating a character, so you can’t assign
any points to bring a base ability score beyond 13.
Write the assigned bonus points in the Bonus col-
umn of the base ability score table on your record
sheet.
▼Determining ability bonuses
Your base ability score plus the bonus points
you put into them become your final base ability
scores. Use the base ability score table on your re-
cord sheet to total them up.
Next, divide each final base ability score by 3 to
determine your ability bonuses. Ability bonuses
won’t be used in the game, but this value is the
basis for ability scores.
Write both your final base ability scores and ability
bonuses in the appropriate sections of your char-
acter sheet.
■Deciding on a Class
Next, you’ll decide what class your character will
be. Each character can be one class at a time.
Construction
Character Section
117
Deciding on a Class
Your character’s class describes their abilities and
role in combat.
For example, Warriors stand on the front line and
use their weapons to deliver strong blows to the
enemy, while Wizards attack using magic from the
rear. Priests can heal and support the rest of the
party. Each class has a different way of fighting. See
The class you settle on will determine what it is
you should be doing in the game. Choose one of
the twelve starter classes and write it in the Class
section of your character sheet.
Class Modifiers
Each class gains modifiers, called Class Modifiers,
to ability scores. For example, Warriors gain more
Strength so that they can use heavy weapons and
Dexterity so that they can use those weapons well.
Refer to the class modifier table on page 120, then
write your class’s modifiers in the Class Modifiers
column on your character sheet.
Races and Classes
This book states to select a race first, then a class,
but you can do it backward if you wish. It’s up to
you which one you want to decide on first.
If you’re having trouble choosing a race, the Native
Inhabitant is the recommended option, as they
work well with every class.
■Acquiring Skills
Decide which skills your character has learned. For
Choose a Race-Based Skill
Choose one skill with Timing: On creation from the
list of skills for the race you chose. At this point,
you cannot choose any skills without Timing: On
creation. Write this skill and its information in the
Skills section of your character sheet.
Choose Class-Based Skills
Aside from your starting skill, acquire five levels’
worth of skills from the list of skills for the class
you chose. You may learn one level of five different
skills or learn fewer skills to raise one or two
of them to level 2. Write all the class skills you
acquired, along with their information, in the Skills
section of your character sheet.
During character creation, you can’t raise a skill
level to higher than 2.
▼Acquiring skills as an Adventurer
Adventurers are a special class. While they only
have a single class skill—Additional Blessings—
they are able to learn skills from other classes.
However, an Adventurer must acquire Additional
Blessings on creation.
Read more about acquiring skills when creating
an Adventurer character in the Adventurer class
section. See page 133.
Choosing General Skills
Choose two general skills and acquire both at level
1. Write these in the Skill section of your character
sheet.
■Determining Ability Scores
Once you’ve decided on your class, race, and skills,
you have everything you need to determine your
ability scores. Depending on what skills you ac-
quired, certain base ability scores may increase.
In these cases, recalculate the appropriate base
ability score and write the new value in the appro-
priate column.
Finally, your ability scores are determined by
adding your ability bonuses to your class’s Class
Modifiers. Calculate each one of these individually
and write them in the Ability Scores section of
your character sheet.
Konosuba TRPG

■Acquiring Items
Player characters possess 500 KE upon creation.
Choose the items you’ll need for your adventure,
such as weapons, armor, and tools, from the item
lists and purchase them. If you don’t know what to
buy, it may help to refer to the sample characters.
Write your purchased items and remaining money
in the Equipment or Belongings section of your
character sheet.
In addition, player characters receive an Adventur-
er’s Card (page 192) upon creation without spend-
ing any money.

According to the rules, any weapons and armor
that you have set to be usable at any time (the
ones in your Equipment section—this is called
having them equipped) are called equipment. Your
equipment is separate from anything else you’re
walking around carrying, called belongings.
Item Types and Equipment Limitations
A character can equip items to six places, or slots:
right hand, left hand, head, body, support ar-
mor, and accessory. Each slot can only have one
item equipped at a time. Items you can equip are
divided into four types: weapon, shield, armor, and
accessory.
The equipment slots for weapons and shields
are written slightly differently. See Equip Slot on
▼Equipment restrictions
Shields and armor can only be equipped by class-
es that meet the equipment requirements for
those items. Each class’s equipment restrictions
are listed on page 120 in the Class Modifier Table.
Weight Limit
Each item has a weight associated with it. Your to-
tal weight—consisting of items equipped to your
left hand, right hand, head, body, support armor,
and accessory slots, and your belongings—can-
not exceed your base Strength stat.
■Determining Secondary Ability Scores
Secondary ability scores are special ability scores
derived from ability scores, equipment, and other
factors. These are mainly used in combat.
HP
HP is a measure of your character’s physical en-
durance. This is called vitality in the original work.
Your character’s HP will decrease when taking at-
tacks from weapons or magic and getting caught
in traps—anything that would hurt or otherwise
exhaust you. There is no lower limit on HP; some-
times, it may drop below zero.
▼Maximum HP
The highest HP your character can have, deter-
mined when you create them, is called maximum
HP, or max HP for short. HP lost from damage can
be recovered in a variety of ways, but it can nev-
er go above the character’s max HP. A character’s
max HP can be calculated via the following formu-
la. Write the result in the HP section of your charac-
ter sheet. For class starting-HP values, refer to the
Class Modifier Table on page 120.
Max HP = Base Strength Score + Class Starting HP
+ Skill Modifiers
MP
MP is a value expressing the well of strength your
character draws from to use magic and other skills.
This is called magic power or mana in the original
work. This generally only decreases when you use
skills. Unlike HP, MP has a minimum of 0 and can-
not go below that.
▼Maximum MP
The highest MP your character can have, deter-
mined when you create them, is called maximum
MP, or max MP for short. Typically, MP is lost when
a character uses skills, but it can be recovered in a
variety of ways. However, it can never go above a
character’s max MP. A character’s max MP can be
derived via the following formula. Write the result
in the MP section of your character sheet. For class
starting-MP values, refer to the Class Modifier Table
on page 120.
Max MP = Base Mind Score + Class Starting MP +
Skill Modifiers
Action Points
A character’s Action Points are a secondary abil-
ity score representing how quickly they can take
initiative, which determines the order in which
characters act. Action Points can be derived via
the following formula. Write the result in the Ac-
tion Points section of your character sheet.
Action Points can be negative due to various
modifiers.
Action Points = Agility + Perception + Equipment
Modifiers + Skill Modifiers
Movement
A character’s Movement is a secondary ability
score representing how much distance they can
cross during battle and is expressed in meters.
Movement can be derived by the following
Character Section
119
formula. Movement has a minimum of 0. If it is
ever 0, the character is unable to move. See page
225 for more on Movement. Because of this, the
Movement Modifiers on a character’s equipment
must not bring a character’s Movement to 0 or
less. Make sure not to let your Movement hit 0 or
below as a result of the items you equip.
Movement = Strength + 5 + Equipment Modifiers
+ Skill Modifiers
■Determining Blessings
Blessings represent a character’s power to stand
against fate or to make fate their ally. With this
power, they can do great things, such as achieving
feats beyond their normal capabilities and
delivering even more powerful blows.
All player characters have Blessings as the
protagonists of the story.
For how to use Blessings, see page 235.
On creation, a player character has 5 Blessings.
Write this value in the Blessings section of your
character sheet.
■Determining Character Level
Your character level is a value representing how
strong your character is. They’re written as first-
level, second-level, etc., or simply level 1, level 2, etc.
A character’s character level on creation is 1.
■Deciding on a Background
Finally, use the process described on page 110
to determine your character’s traits, their Origin,
other Life Path details, and things like their name
and gender.

Skill Lists
and magic that a character knows. They span many fields; a character
may have a great deal of knowledge in a specific topic, specialize in lo-
cating and disarming traps, be accustomed to wielding giant swords, or
have the ability to use offensive magic.
The details for all these skills are listed in this section, along with illus-
trations and descriptions for each of the races and classes in the game.
and for how to use them, see page 194.
■Skill Levels
Each skill has a certain skill level, shortened to SL. When a character first
acquires a skill, its skill level is 1.
Some skills’ effects will be bolstered each time a player raises its SL.
Skill levels can be increased when creating a character or when the
character gains a character level. However, in general, skills cannot be
raised above their max SL, which is different for each skill.
■Advanced Classes
specific classes. You can’t choose any of these when first creating your
character; you can only choose one when your character has reached CL
10 and you decide to class change (page 243).

How to Read the Skill Lists
■Types of Skills
Skills are separated into four categories depending
on their requirements: racial skills, class skills, gen-
eral skills, and enemy skills.
Racial Skills
These skills represent things like a Reincarnated
Person’s goddess-given powers or a Crimson
Magic Clan member’s immense magical power—
abilities characteristic of their respective races. In
general, a character may only acquire racial skills of
the race they decide on during character creation.
Class Skills
These skills represent many things. The weapon
combat techniques used by a Warrior, the magic-
based attacks of a Wizard, or a Thief’s ability to
move stealthily. Class skills comprise the knowl-
edge, techniques, combat arts, and magic that a
class might specialize in. In general, a character
may only acquire class skills of their current class.
General Skills
These are skills that anyone, no matter the class or
race, may acquire. Many are versatile, meant for sit-
uations a little more specialized than combat, such
as having very specific knowledge, being good at
persuading others, or being able to hold lots of
things. These skills are an expression of a charac-
ter’s own unique traits and characteristics. They are
Enemy Skills
Skills that enemies use. They’re listed in the same
way that other skills are, but in general, player
characters cannot acquire these. See page 270 for
more details.
▼Adventurers and enemy skills
In the original Konosuba work, Kazuma, an Adven-
turer, learns skills from monsters.
Only Adventurers—and only when permitted by
the GM—may acquire enemy skills, such as ones
that were taught by enemies.
In these cases, the acquired skill should be treated
as an Adventurer’s class skill rather than an enemy
skill.
How to Read Skill Descriptions
This section describes how to read the skill
descriptions.
Whenever any section reads See Effect, that section
is explained in more detail in the Effect section.
Whenever any section contains a −, it means that
section should not be used.
When X or Y is used, that means some sort of let-
ters or numbers would be there.
Q Q Name
The name of the skill.
W W Type
The type of the skill, written to the right of its
name.
•Spell
This means that the skill is a magical spell. They
receive the effects of skills and items that apply
to spells. Some may also have an element, such
as Spell (Earth). Any with multiple elements
are written like Spell (Earth/Fire). When a skill
has an element that the player chooses when
they acquire it, it will say Spell (Choose), and this
becomes whatever element the player chooses.
E E Timing
The specific timing the skill must be used at. Ex-
cluding ones that say Passive, Item, or See Effect,
you may only use one skill in a single timing win-
dow.
•X action
When the skill says move action, minor action,
major action, reaction, or the like, you use the skill
as that action.
•X Process
When the skill says Setup Process, Initiative Process,

Character Section
123
Cleanup Process, or the like, you use the skill during
that Process.
•Before/After check
Use the skill right before (or right after) perform-
ing an action check. If it happens after an action
check, the action check’s result is decided on after
using the skill.
•Before/After damage roll
Use this skill right before (or right after) rolling for
damage.
•Passive
Skills with constant effects. Some have require-
ments for the effects to be applied. A character
may use a free action to disable the effects of a
skill with Timing: Passive. They can reactivate the
skill by using another free action. If the passive skill
being disabled would cause some sort of problem,
the GM may disallow the disabling of the skill.
•(Skill name)
If a skill name is in this section, you use this skill at
the same time as the written skill. Unless otherwise
stated, you pay the cost of both skills.
•Item
Any skills with Timing: Item are ones that let you
acquire an item or change the details of an item.
You can apply these things during Preplay (or you
may choose not to). These skills are always in ef-
fect. You cannot sell the items you acquire in this
way, and they are lost during After Play.
•On creation
Occurs alongside another timing type. This means
that a character can only acquire this skill during
character creation, and not during any other point.
R Check
The type of check that needs to be made to use
this skill.
•Auto success
This skill produces its effects simply by declaring
its usage.
•Ability score
Perform an action check using the listed ability
score. In general, there is no difficulty level for
these, and as long as the action-check roll isn’t
a fumble, the skill produces its effects. If a diffi-
culty level is described in the Effect section and
that action check succeeds, then read to see if an
opposition check is required. Only upon winning
that opposition check does the skill produce its
described effects.
•Hit check
Perform a hit check for an attack. If an attack type
is described in the Effect section, perform a hit
check for that type of attack. If the attack succeeds
(e.g., it hits), then the skill produces its described
effects. Some skills require you to make a hit check
for something other than an attack. See the Effect
section of such skills for details.
•Magic check
Perform a magic check. In general, there is no
difficulty level for these, and as long as the magic
check roll isn’t a fumble, the skill produces its ef-
fects. If a difficulty level is described in the Effect
section and that action check succeeds, then read
to see if an opposition check is required. Only
upon winning that opposition check does the skill
produce its described effects.
In addition, when performing a magic attack, a
magic check is treated as a hit check as well.
•Dodge check
Perform a dodge check. Upon passing the dodge
check and evading the attack, the skill produces
effects. You cannot use these skills for reaction
checks that are not dodge checks.
TTarget
The target the skill’s effects apply to. The skill’s user
decides on the target based on what the skill al-
lows. If the target listing is followed by an asterisk,
it means the target listing cannot be altered by the
effects of any other skills, items, or by other means.
•Self
The only valid target is the skill’s user.
•Single
The skill’s target may be any one character.
•Area
The skill targets all characters in an Engagement.
If it says Area (Choose), the skill’s user may freely
decide which characters inside that Engagement
to target. If it says Area (X targets), the skill targets
up to that listed number of characters within that
Engagement.
•Scene
The skill targets all characters. If it says Scene
(Choose), the skill’s user may freely decide which
characters in that Scene to target.
YRange
The maximum range the target of the skill can be
at.
•Xm
The target or targets must be within the listed dis-
tance (in meters) of the skill’s user.
•Close
The target or targets must be in the same Engage-
ment as the skill’s user.
•Weapon
The skill’s range is the same as the range of the
weapon the user is currently wielding. When using
Konosuba TRPG
124
a weapon that performs ranged attacks, you can-
not choose any characters in your Engagement as
targets.
•Vision
The target or targets must be within sight of the
skill’s user. Any characters not visible to the user
cannot be targeted.
U Cost
The MP cost for using the skill. You can’t use any
skills that cost more than your current MP.
I Max SL
The skill’s maximum skill level.
O Usage requirements
The requirements or conditions the skill’s user
must fulfill in order to use the skill. If multiple re-
quirements are listed, the user must fulfill them all.
(If multiple requirements are linked by a slash (“/”),
refer to the appropriate section for information.)
•Class Name
If a class is listed here, such as Warrior, Priest, Wiz-
ard, or Thief, the character must currently be that
class, or the advanced class that it can change to,
in order to use the skill. For example, if the skill
reads Usage Requirements: Warrior, then a charac-
ter can only use that skill if their class is Warrior or
Crusader.
•Using X
The character must be wielding a specific weapon
to use the skill. This section will give the name of
a specific weapon, the required weapon type—
such as hand-to-hand or dagger—or the equip-
ment slot, such as one, dual, or both. If multiple
types are listed, such as Using a dagger or whip, you
can use either of those weapon types. If it reads
Using close-combat, this means any weapon with
a close range. If it reads Using chosen weapon, then
you need to be using a specific weapon to use the
skill.
•Equipped with X
The character must be equipped with a specific
weapon to use the skill. This section will give the
name of a specific weapon, the required weap-
on type—such as hand-to-hand or dagger—or
the equipment slot, such as one, dual, or both. If
multiple types are listed, such as Using a dagger or
whip, you can have either of those weapon types
equipped. If you don’t have a weapon or shield
equipped (in other words, you are barehanded),
this falls into the hand-to-hand equipment group.
If it reads Using chosen weapon, then you need to
have a specific weapon equipped to use the skill.
•Equipped with a shield / Not equipped with a
shield
You must have a shield equipped (or not
equipped) to use the skill.
•Stealth
You must be in a stealth state (page 238) to use
the skill.
•Once per defense
You can use this skill on a target once during the
attacking characters’ Main Process. In other cases,
you can use it once per time damage is dealt.
•X times per round
You can use this skill up to X times in a single
round.
•X times per Scene
You can use this skill up to X times in a single
Scene.
•X times per scenario
You can use this skill up to X times during Main
Play.
P Effect
The skill’s effects. Below is an explanation of several
frequently used terms.
•You
Refers to the skill’s user.
•Target
Refers to the skill’s target.
•CL
Refers to the character level of the skill’s user.
•SL
Refers to the skill level of the skill being used.
•Type: X
Denotes a skill’s type, such as a spell, or the kind of
character, such as animal or plant. It also denotes
skills and characters themselves that belong to
that type.
•Element
Denotes the skill’s element: fire, water, wind, earth,
lightning, ice, light, darkness, and void. Should you
need to choose an element when learning a skill
or when using it, you cannot choose void.
•Obtain
Requirements you need to fulfill when obtaining
the skill. If having a specific skill is required for
learning this one, it will list the skill name and skill
level required. If it requires that you be at least a
certain character level, it will list that character
level.
•Substitute check with…
This refers to performing an action check different
than the one that would usually be performed in
that situation, such as using a hit check in place
of a dodge check when trying to avoid an attack.
•Enemy character
Refers to any character who harbors hostility or ill
Character Section
125
will toward the skill’s user. The GM has the final say
in what counts as an enemy character.
•Duration
Indicates how long the skill’s effects last.
•Find effect using dice
Indicates that you should roll dice when using
a skill, spell, or item and then use the skill corre-
sponding to the rolled value.
•Hit check using weapon
Indicates that the skill has effects on hit checks
even if they’re not for hit checks when attacking
with a weapon, such as making a hit check for a
reaction. If there is a usage requirement, such as
needing to use a specific weapon type, you will
need to meet it.
{ Critical
Describes what happens if you roll a critical on the
action check for the skill specified in its Check sec-
tion. If there is no special outcome on a critical, this
section will be empty.
•Add 1d6
Add extra dice to the dice roll performed as part of
a skill’s effect. The number of dice added is equal
to the number of sixes you rolled when making
the action check listed in the skill’s Check section.
The effects of critical rolls on hit checks for attacks,
described on page 31, are included in this.
•Costs 0
Refund all the MP spent as the skill’s cost after the
skill produces its effect. This refund only occurs af-
ter the skill resolves, so if you’re unable to spend
enough MP to cover the cost, you cannot use the
skill in the hopes that you’ll roll a critical on the
action check.
} Description
A description or depiction of the skill. Handy for
acting out a character’s actions.

Adventurer Class Rules
This section will explain the pro-
cess of acquiring class skills if you
chose Adventurer.
First, an Adventurer will always
gain the skill Additional Blessings
on character creation. All other
skills are acquired from other class’s
skills and can be leveled up as they
would be for their native class.
When an Adventurer levels up,
they can either gain class skills
from other classes or raise the skill
levels of their existing skills.
Typically, an Adventurer cannot
acquire advanced-class skills or
enemy skills.
With the GM’s permission, how-
ever, an Adventurer may be able to
acquire an advanced-class skill or enemy skill. When you need to refer to
the enemy’s level, change it to mean the character’s level instead.
■THE OCCUPATION “ADVENTURER” AND THE CLASS
“ADVENTURER”
Adventurers are sort of jacks-of-all-trades represented by the Adventur-
ers Guild who do various tasks. Many of the jobs are dangerous, such as
hunting monsters, and because adventurers are generally armed, they
are now partnered with the Guild, which guarantees their status and
handles the administration side of things for them.
This is the occupational adventurer. However, there are some—though
very few—adventurers who choose Adventurer as their class. Thus, the
word has two different meanings, but because there are extremely few
adventurers with the class Adventurer, it doesn’t seem to be causing too
much confusion.

Item Lists
This section contains all information on items used by characters.
POSSESSIONS
Any item a character currently has on their person is called a possession.
Possessions can range from weapons and armor to other tools like
lanterns and ropes. Having an item like this is called possessing an item.
Depending on how the item is being used, they may also be classi-
fied as either equipment or belongings. However, just like with Lifestyles
(page 193), there are also possessions that are neither equipment nor
belongings.
EQUIPPING AND CARRYING ITEMS
Normally, you can use any items in your inventory. However, some can
only be used if you have them equipped, and others may not have an
effect in certain situations. This mainly applies to weapons and armor.
Equipping an item means preparing it so that you can use it when
needed.
For example, if you have a weapon equipped, you are in a state where
you can immediately attack with it. Consequently, even if you have a
weapon equipped in both hands, you can still use a potion or hand an
item to another character.
EQUIPMENT
Items that are currently set on any one of the six distinct slots of the
character—right hand, left hand, head, body, support armor, and
accessory—are called equipment. In general, you can equip one item
per slot.
BELONGINGS
Items other than equipment that a character walks around with are
all called belongings. Belongings can be placed in backpacks or the
pockets of clothing and armor, but specifying where they are is not
strictly necessary.
Character Section
181
Items come in several types. The Type section for
items describes what category that item belongs
to and how to use it. Item types are described
below.
Weapon
Items used in battle, like swords and spears. You
can equip these to either your right hand or
your left hand. In the item lists, weapons are not
listed as weapon, but rather, they are split up into
several subcategories. There are nine subcatego-
ries of weapons: hand-to-hand weapons, daggers,
one-handed swords, two-handed swords, axes,
blunt weapons, spears, whips, and bows.
Shield
An item held in the hand to block attacks. They
have an effect only when equipped in the right
hand or the left hand.
Armor
Gear that protects the wearer’s body. Armor can
be split into three categories based on what body
part they correspond to: head, body, and support
armor. These have an effect only when equipped.
Accessory
Items with various effects that can be worn on the
body. These have an effect only when equipped to
the accessory slot.
Tool
Various items used for adventuring. They can gen-
erally be used from the inventory.
Gem
Gemstones such as rubies or diamonds. Some
have skill-like effects and are consumed on use.
Potion
Items that can restore HP or MP, like heal potions
or manatite, or items that purge debuffs. They can
be used from the inventory.
Food
Items that restore HP or MP, like meat or fruit. They
can be used from the inventory.
Storage
Items like backpacks that allow you to store other
items. These increase your carrying capacity. They
have an effect as long as they’re in your inventory,
but you can’t gain the effects of more than one
storage item with the same name at a time.
Decoration
Items like clothing or small accessories. Their ef-
fects are active when they’re in your inventory, and
you can use them from it, but they don’t have any
rule-related abilities. You can wear any number of
these, regardless of your accessory slot.
Service
The types of services available to the player char-
acters, such as lodging and food. Services are not
possessions; you simply pay the price for one at
the relevant location to gain its benefits. Certain
items can be kept in your inventory, but they are
not considered belongings.
Lifestyle
A piece of information that describes how a char-
acter lives between sessions, which can be any-
thing from an extravagant existence to residing
in a horse stable. PCs must buy one Lifestyle
during Preplay and pay for it during After Play.
See page 210.
Types of Items
Konosuba TRPG
182
These pages explain how to read an item listing.
If a section of an item listing reads “−,” it can mean
that section does not exist for the item or pos-
sesses no relevant information for it. Alternatively,
it could also mean that the item doesn’t receive
modifiers from skills or other items. Some sections
may point you to the Effects section for more de-
tails.
Common Sections
The following sections are common in all item lists.
Name
The name of the item.
Type
The category of the item. See page 181 for details.
Level
The minimum required character level (CL) need-
ed to equip or use the item.
Weight
The weight or bulk of the item. There is a limit on
how many belongings and pieces of equipment
you can possess at once. Items with a “−” in this
section cannot be equipped or possessed as be-
longings.
Equip Slot
The slot the item is equipped to. You can only
equip one item to each slot.
▼Equip Slot: One
Can be equipped in either the right hand or the
left hand. Write which in your equipment section.
▼Equip Slot: Both
Requires both hands to equip and needs both the
right-hand and left-hand slots. Write a weapon like
this in your right-hand slot, then write a “−” in your
left-hand slot.
▼Equip Slot: Dual
An item that represents two weapons used at
once. This needs both the right-hand and left-
hand slots. Write a weapon like this in your right-
hand slot, then write a “−” in your left-hand slot.
Value
The KE needed to purchase the item.
Class Restrictions
Shields and armor have various conditions that
need to be met in order to equip them. If your
class’s equipment requirement doesn’t match
this class restriction, you cannot equip the shield
or armor.
For example, Knights have Equipment Require-
ment: Warrior, which means they can equip shields
and other armor with a Warrior class restriction. If
an equipment requirement reads “−,” such as with
the Adventurer, you can only equip shields and
armor with a “−” class restriction.

This section will explain how to use skills. Because
it touches on various rules, such as checks and
actions, you may want to save reading this until
you’ve finished reading the Rules Section.
■Skill and Item Priority
When the effects of skills or items would cause a
contradiction with the rules, excluding the golden
rule, the general practice is that the skill or item
effects have priority.
Also, if items and skills would contradict one an-
other, the player character using said skill or item
may choose the more beneficial option. Howev-
er, the GM may still overrule this, deciding that it
would be unnatural or improper to do so.
■Using Skills and Items
Follow the process below when using items with
unique effects and skills.
Also, unless otherwise stated, a skill or item’s effect
will last until the end of the user’s Main Process.
Determine a Target
Check the skill or item’s Target section, if it has one,
then decide on what target or targets you will ap-
ply its effects to and declare any targets to the GM.
Considering Timing
Check the skill or item’s Timing section, if it has
one, then confirm when it is appropriate to use
the skill or item.
▼Usage timing outside combat
If you are not currently in combat (round progres-
sion), then skills and items can be used at any time
the GM approves of.
As a rule of thumb, it may be best to act as though
you are using the skill or item during combat
and perform one action at a time while moving
through the combat processes: the Setup Process,
the Initiative Process, a move action, a minor ac-
tion, and a major action.
For example, using Heavy Blow or Downswing to
destroy a door outside battle could happen. How-
ever, if you wanted to cast Bless to increase the
number of dice you roll for the check, that would
also use up a major action, so the GM may rule that
you cannot increase the dice of your own action
checks outside combat.
Considering Checks
Check the skill or item’s Check section, if it has
one, then confirm what sort of check needs to be
made.
Pay the Cost
Any skill with a value in the Cost section needs to
have that value paid in MP to activate the skill. If
your MP would fall to less than 0 as a result, you
will not be able to use the skill.
Also, if the Effect section specifies paying HP or
Blessings, do so now.
Perform Checks or Declare Usage
Use the skill or item by either performing a check
or simply declaring it.
A character may only declare the usage of one
skill or item during a single timing window (for
example, a single major action). In addition, if the
timing of a skill and item would be the same, you
can only use one of them. This excludes skills and
items with Timing: See Effect. Skills and items with
Timing: Passive are in effect at all times, so they
don’t have this restriction. However, they may have
restrictions when equipping more than one item
of the same name at a time. Details follow below.
Apply Effects
Once you’ve declared that you are using a skill or
item and passed any checks it may require, its ef-
fects come into play.
If the target doesn’t want to receive the effects of
that skill or item, they can perform an opposition
check as the reactor. In this case, you must win the
opposition check for your skill or item to come
into effect. As for the manner in which the effect
is applied, ultimately, that is for the GM to decide.
•Magic check (skills with Check: Magic check)
Perform an Intelligence check. A reaction to a
magic check is a dodge check.
▼Stacking effects
The effects of skills or items of the same name do
not stack on the same target, no matter how many
times that one skill or item is used. When some-
thing like this occurs, the target character of the
skill or item decides which duplicate effect to ap-
ply. Also, if there are factors that would change the
effect, such as the result of a dice roll, the character
must choose before calculations are performed.
Along the same lines, equipping multiple items of
the same name still counts as having effects of the
same name, so you can only get that item’s Timing:
Passive effect once.
▼One-versus-many checks
When a skill or item targets multiple characters,
the user of the skill or item makes only one check,
while each targeted character makes their own
opposition check against it. For damage rolls for
attacks against multiple targets, the user still only
performs one roll, which is applied to each target.
When Skills or Items Are Used at the Same
Time
If multiple characters declare that they’re using a
skill or item—either right before or right after an
opposition check, or right before or right after a
Using Skills and Items
Character Section
195
damage roll—apply the declarations of the actor
(attacker) and any characters assisting the actor
before applying the declarations of the reactor
(defender) and any characters assisting the reactor.
Any reactors may withdraw their usage of a skill
or item based on the declaration of any actors. If
a reactor does this, they do not need to pay the
cost, nor will they lose an item if it is consumable.
The determination of which side is attacking and
which side is defending ultimately lies with the
GM.
Other Usage Involving Checks
The GM may permit the use of skills or items for
purposes outside those listed in their Effects sec-
tions, such as using Freeze to freeze wet clothing
or tying a criminal up with rope so that they can’t
move. If this would involve an action check, the
GM may approve a +1d6 modifier on the check.
The GM may also permit a player to ignore timing
restrictions and use skills right before such a check.
When using these skills, the player must still pay
the cost and will lose a usage where applicable.
In addition, if a player uses multiple items or
skills for a single check, the modifier to the check
doesn’t stack.
Creating Unique Situations
Players might have ideas to use skills or items in
unexpected ways, such as chopping down a tree
using Heavy Blow or burning straw using Fireball.
The GM should decide whether such actions are
valid, and the necessary checks, ability scores, and
difficulty levels (use the Difficulty Level Table on
page 205 or use the formula (CL/3)+8).
Attacking with General Magic
Players may come up with ideas that enable them
to attack with skills that lack attack information,
such as using Tinder to make a flame stronger or
using Create Water and pushing the water into an
enemy.
In these cases, the damage becomes 1d6 magic
or physical damage. (You shouldn’t set this to be
any higher than skills that have proper attack infor-
mation.) If it’s magic damage, the GM can decide
on an element based on the type of the skill. For
example, since Tinder’s type is Spell (Fire), it would
deal fire magic damage. If there is no element de-
fined, the GM should choose one.
Consulting with the GM
These rules are meant to re-create the feeling of
the original work. However, they are also danger-
ous in that they may leave players thinking they
can do anything they want. Both the GM and
players should tread carefully when using these
rules, and most importantly, they should discuss
things among themselves. There’s no need for a
player to hesitate in suggesting their own ideas
or interpretations, but all players should follow the
GM’s decisions.
Konosuba TRPG
196
What Are Cheats?
Cheats are a way to depict the special abilities or traits that characters
who appear in Konosuba might have. Using them will allow for the fun,
chaotic developments like those in the original work. However, if the GM
is a more serious type, you might have a hard time using them.
The GM should decide on their own whether or not to use cheats in
their game. The players cannot force the decision. If you absolutely want
them in a game, then you’ll have to be the GM yourself.
■MERITS AND DEMERITS
Cheats are a double-edged sword.
First, they each have a merit: a powerful ability for the cheat’s owner.
Second, they each have a demerit: a drawback. Mighty powers come
with much sacrifice. The stronger a cheat’s merit is, the more harmful its
demerit.
MERITS
Cheats afford a player something beneficial, such as a special skill or
unique item.
DEMERITS
There are penalties and conditions for receiving the merits of cheats. Un-
less otherwise stated, the effects of the demerit are applied immediately
as long as the requirements are met. If it has no requirements, it is active
at all times. Based on the demerit, the GM may apply penalties to the
player characters at the GM’s discretion and for however long they wish.
When in doubt, apply the penalty on the spot and/or have the penalty’s
effects last until the end of the scenario.
■ACQUIRING CHEATS
Cheats are generally acquired during Preplay or After Play.
You don’t need experience points to acquire one.
In general, a player character can only learn one obtainable cheat. With
the GM’s permission, they may acquire multiple. They cannot acquire the
same cheat more than once.
Cheat Rules
Character Section
197
CHEAT RESTRICTIONS
The GM may place restrictions on which cheats a player character may
acquire.
For example, in a scenario involving fighting the Demon King’s army, a
player character who has Member of the Demon King’s Army may be at
a severe disadvantage. In these types of situations, the GM may restrict
for that session which cheats are obtainable.
Of course, even in that example, a GM would be more than welcome
to introduce that specific cheat into the plot.
Using Cheats
Simply put, cheats break the game’s balance. They’re not meant for those
who enjoy the serious struggles of life and death.
But breaking the game’s balance can be enjoyable. It is the players and
the GM’s right to decide which option seems more fun and choose that
one. The final say about whether to use cheats lies with the GM.
NPCs AND CHEATS
The GM may have NPCs acquire cheats as part of the scenario if they
wish.
If they do, everyone will receive extra experience points in the
Completed the mission section equal to the number of cheats possessed
by NPCs multiplied by the average level of all player characters.

Basic Checks and Opposition Checks
During a session of Konosuba TRPG, characters will take a variety of actions:
climbing up a sheer cliffside, searching for documents in a library storehouse,
hiding in the shadows to evade pursuers, and so on. In this game, players will
roll dice to determine whether their character’s actions succeed or fail. This is
called an action check. Whenever this book says to make a check or perform
a check, these all refer to performing an action check.
Action checks are broadly categorized into basic checks and opposition
checks.
■BASIC CHECKS
Most of the time, when performing an action check, you will use the rules
for basic checks.
BASIC-CHECK PROCESS
This section explains the process for making a basic check in order.
1Declare a check
The GM decides which ability score to use for the check. For example, they
might choose Strength for lifting heavy objects, or Perception for noticing
things. Please refer to page 207.
2Determine a difficulty level
The GM sets a difficulty level, or DL, that corresponds to the challenge of
the action. Please refer to the Difficulty Level Table for guidelines on how to
set difficulty levels. (The DL guidelines use an average civilian’s statistics as a
basis. The GM will need to come up with different DLs for higher-level char-
acters.) In addition, when a non-fumble on a roll is the only thing necessary,
the GM doesn’t have to decide a difficulty level.
3Roll the dice
The player rolls two dice. Depending on the character’s situation or en-
vironment, they may roll more or less dice. Depending on the dice roll, an
action may automatically succeed or automatically fail.
•Critical
If two of the rolled dice are sixes, the check is automatically passed. This is
called a critical.
Normally, a player will roll 2 dice, meaning all the rolled dice have to be 6
to become a critical. However, when rolling three or more dice, as long as at
least two of them are sixes, it is a critical. If a player rolls only one die, a critical
Action Check Rules
205
Rules Section
cannot occur.
•Fumble
If all the rolled dice are 1s, the check automatically fails. This is called a
fumble.
Unlike critical rolls, fumbles will only happen when every die comes up
as 1. Thus, the more dice that are rolled, the lower the chance of a fumble.
4Calculate the total check score
After rolling the dice, the player then adds the dice total to the relevant
ability score, as decided by the GM. This value, referred to as the total check
score or just total score, represents how much of an effect the character
had during the check.
Total Score = Ability Score + The Result of the Dice Roll
5Determine pass or fail
The GM compares the total check
score of the player to the DL deter-
mined before the check was made.
If the total check score is equal to or
greater than the DL, the basic check
succeeds, and if it’s lower, it fails.
DL <= Check Score = Basic Check Success
DL > Check Score = Basic Check Fail
MODIFICATIONS FROM SKILLS, TRAPS, ETC.
Some skills that a character may learn apply further bonuses to the dice roll
or even add dice to the check. Dungeons can also contain traps (for more on
traps, refer to page 289), which can grant penalties to a dice roll or reduce
the number of dice a player rolls.
First, add up how many dice will be added and subtracted. Nothing can
bring the number of dice a player would roll for a check below 1.
Once the number of dice to be rolled has been determined, roll them and
add the total to the relevant ability score.
If there are any bonuses or penalties, apply them to the total. Once you’ve
done so, you have the final score. Even if the final score is a negative number,
you still use that result.
OTHER MODIFIERS
The GM may adjust the DL, number of dice, or total result depending on the
situation the character is currently in.
Difficulty Level Table
Difficulty Level (DL) Type of Action
8−9
Very simple action
10 −11

16 –17
Very difficult action
18+
Extremely difficult action
Konosuba TRPG
206
When doing so, it’s generally best to change the number of dice to be
rolled. Removing or adding a single die is a good rule of thumb.
■OPPOSITION CHECKS
Opposition checks are made when a character directly responds to another
character’s basic check. For example, one character may attack with a weap-
on, and another might try to evade.
ACTION AND REACTION
Opposition checks split involved characters into two groups. They are ac-
tor and reactor. An actor is a character actively performing a check, while a
reactor is a character performing their own check in response to an actor’s.
To take a combat example, the character performing a check to see if their
attack hits would be the actor, while the one who does a check to evade
would be the reactor.
Opposition checks don’t use a difficulty level. Rather, one player will per-
form a check to get a total check score, then the reactor will perform a check
in the same way.
▼WHEN A REACTOR CANNOT MAKE A CHECK
If a reactor is unable to make a check for whatever reason, their total check
score on the reaction is considered to be 0.
VICTORY AND DEFEAT
After any actors and reactors have their respective total check scores, the
opposition check’s result is determined. Whichever character has the higher
total check score is the winner, and that character’s action is then used.
▼REACTOR PRIORITY
If an actor and reactor end up with the same total check score during an
opposition check, the reactor wins. This is called the rule of reactor priority.
This is used even when both characters critical.
▼FUMBLING
If an actor fumbles their check, any reactors’ actions automatically succeed,
and they don’t need to make their own checks. If a reactor fumbles, then any
actors win. If you need a total check score for a character who has fumbled,
use 0.
▼WHEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE ACTOR AND REACTOR
There may be times when you aren’t able to decide which character is the
actor and which is the reactor. In these cases, if the two total check scores
are the same, redo the opposition check. When doing so, don’t change any
of the check’s conditions or modifiers at all. In addition, treat a repeat oppo-
sition check as not spending any extra in-game time.

General Flow of Sessions
A single session of Konosuba TRPG is split into three parts: Preplay, where
you set up the game; Main Play, where you actually play the game; and
After Play, which is when characters grow and you clean up the game.
Main Play is also split into four phases: the Opening Phase, the Middle
Phase, the Climax Phase, and the Ending Phase. Each of these phases
is further divided into multiple Scenes.
A Scene represents a single situation. Game progression involves
moving from Scene to Scene. This is explained further on page 212.
Preplay
During Preplay, you handle any setup and preparations needed to start
the game. We’ll explain this in two parts: the things you should do before
coming to the game, and the things you do the day of.
■PREPARATIONS BEFORE PLAYING
Both the GM and players will need to prepare several things before the
day of the session.
The most important preparation is the mental kind. All tabletop games,
not just Konosuba TRPG, need a willingness from everyone participating
in the session to have a fun time together. There is a major difference in
the result of playing the game listlessly and playing it with a clear objec-
tive in mind.
You can’t forget about the physical side of things, either. Catching a
cold or suffering an injury on the day of the session will make things
difficult for the other participants, so try and avoid such occurrences as
much as possible. You also shouldn’t stay up late the night before and fall
asleep during the session. Take proper care of your physical condition in
advance of the session.
READ THE RULE BOOK
The first thing to do is to make sure you read the rule book. You don’t
need to memorize every letter, but knowing where to find information
on certain rules that’ll come up during play will help the session progress
more smoothly.
Session Progression
209
Rules Section
CREATE A SCENARIO
The GM must prepare a scenario to use for the session. If all players, in-
cluding the GM, are new to Konosuba TRPG, we recommend using the
scenario introduced on page 294: “Deliciousness for These Bamboo
Shoots.” In other situations, the GM will need to either find scenarios oth-
ers have written and shared online or make their own. When doing the
latter, it is advised that the GM consult the aforementioned “Delicious-
ness for These Bamboo Shoots” as a reference.
Whether the GM uses a premade scenario or decides to make their
own, it is recommended that they read it over a few times to get com-
fortable with the contents.
PREPARING TOOLS
Refer to page 89 and make sure you have copies of the sheets men-
tioned there, as well as dice and writing tools.
■PREPARATIONS THE DAY OF THE SESSION
This section details what to do once all the participants are gathered
for the session, right before beginning Main Play.
DISTRIBUTE SHEETS
The GM distributes one character sheet and one record sheet to each
player to be used during the session.
ANNOUNCE THE PREVIEW
The GM reads out the preview for the scenario. The preview is for setting
the stage and letting the players know what to expect from the session
ahead. Think of it like a next-episode preview from an anime.
PLAYER-CHARACTER CREATION AND CHECKS
The GM should give each player a character sheet and have them create
characters. Refer to page 94 for details on character creation. If possible,
a GM could have the players create their characters before the day of the
session. This can save some time. Should a GM wish to use this option,
they should give the players the preview, and everyone will need to de-
cide who will be taking which main class in advance. In these cases, it’s
handy to use online messaging services so that everyone can discuss
things quickly and without worrying about time.
Even if the GM has the players create their character prior to the day of
Konosuba TRPG
210
the session, they should always read
the preview to refresh the players’
minds.
Once everyone is finished creat-
ing characters, the GM reviews their
character sheets and makes sure
there aren’t any missing details or
mistakes on them.
▼USING CHEATS
Depending on the GM, the session
may include the use of cheats.
For more on cheats, see page 196.
FILLING THE SESSION
SHEET
The GM writes the scenario’s name,
the date of the session, and their
name on the session sheet. After
that, pass the session sheet to the
other players and have them each
write down information about their
characters on it.
DETERMINING LIFESTYLES
The GM now asks players what their
Lifestyles will be for the session.
A Lifestyle is a representation of
the character’s standard of living
during the session, such as whether
they spend money extravagantly or
prefer to save it up.
A player’s Lifestyle decisions will
determine the modifiers they receive
that session, as well as the amount of
money they must pay once the ses-
sion is over (during After Play). Play-
ers write their chosen Lifestyle for
their PC on their record sheet.
The GM can also limit which Life-

Rules Section
styles can be chosen.
FILLING THE RECORD SHEETS
On their own record sheets, each player should write down the date of
the session, their name, their character’s name, the GM’s name, and the
scenario’s name. The date, the GM’s name, and the scenario’s name can
be copied from the GM’s session sheet when it’s passed around.
Each player should also copy over their character’s maximum HP, max-
imum MP, and Blessings.
DETERMINING SEATING
Players may decide seating for themselves, but we recommend the GM
sit right in the middle of the long side of a table. This is a little trick to help
the session go more smoothly, as this makes the distance from the GM
to each player roughly equal. They shouldn’t sit at the head of the table.
SELF-INTRODUCTIONS
Have each player introduce their own characters. Everyone should know
a little about the others they will be adventuring with today.
The GM can freely decide what order players introduce their charac-
ters in. If there aren’t any particular issues, you can always do it in the
order of the players written on the session sheet, or in seating order. The
following is a list of some important things to make known:
•The character’s name, age, and gender
•The player’s chosen race and class
•The character’s appearance (such as unique features, hairstyle or hair
length, height, weapons, and armor)
FORMING A PARTY
Once the players are done introducing their characters, they’ll need to
form a party.
Parties in Konosuba TRPG are groups of adventurers who work together.
It is best that the players decide on a party leader.
The party leader is the group’s representative and has the final say in
all matters like accepting quests and deciding where to go. The other
participants are called party members.
Any players who have an objection to the party leader’s decision
should tell the party leader. If more than half of the other party members
Konosuba TRPG
212
agree with them, they can reject the party leader’s decision.
Main Play
Main Play is where the scenario is put to use and when the game is
played. As mentioned before, Main Play is split into four phases. Each of
those phases contains several Scenes. First, we’ll explain the concept of
these Scenes.
■SCENES
Sessions in Konosuba TRPG progress through Scenes, each of which is an
individual situation within the game.
You can think of a Scene just like you might a single scene in a movie
or TV show. Sessions are a collection of these Scenes, with the greater
scenario providing the information to link each Scene together.
The GM can, of course, create Scenes not prepared in the scenario
based on how the session moves along, and if the players need the GM
to create a Scene, they can request this. However, the GM has the final
say as to what kind of Scenes to create and when.
ENTRANCES AND EXITS
You can’t act out a role without getting onto the stage—and the same
applies to Scenes. Only the characters who appear in the Scene are al-
lowed to participate in that Scene.
When a character comes into a Scene, it’s called entering the Scene.
When they leave, it’s called exiting a Scene.
The GM can freely decide who will enter the Scene. They can, of course,
have other characters enter the Scene in the middle (or force them to),
and they can also make a character who has entered the Scene exit it.
Meanwhile, players who want their character to enter a Scene can ask
the GM. The GM should think about the current situation in the Scene
and whether it would be good for the Scene itself before deciding to
allow or deny the request. If the GM permits it, that player character can
enter the Scene.
Exits work the same way as entrances. With the GM’s permission, a PC
can exit a Scene at any time.
SCENE PROGRESSION
Scenes progress in the following order:
▼DESIGNATE CHARACTERS WHO HAVE ENTERED THE SCENE
213
Rules Section
The GM declares which PCs will be in the Scene about to start. If NPCs
will enter it as well, the GM talks about them, too.
▼BEGIN THE SCENE
The GM announces that a Scene has begun. They will first give a simple
explanation of where the Scene takes place and what the goal is. The GM
needs to give this so that the players have a way of deciding whether
their character should enter the Scene or not.
▼PC ENTRANCE REQUESTS
The GM checks whether there are any PCs who wish to enter the Scene.
Any who do need permission from the GM. Entrances are also not re-
stricted to the very beginning of Scenes, either. A character can appear
halfway through a Scene as well. In addition, even without getting
permission at the start of the Scene, a player can still enter it midway
through. However, there may be restrictions for when characters can
enter when round progression (such as combat) is occurring. For more
details, see page 218.
▼ACTING OUT THE SCENE
After determining which PCs will appear, everyone begins acting out the
Scene based on the scenario. From here, the Scene progresses with a
focus on communication between the GM and the players.
As for what sort of Scenes the GM and the players should role-play,
refer to the section beginning on page 10.
▼ENDING THE SCENE
The GM can call an end to the Scene at any time. Once they’ve ended the
Scene, they start the next one in accordance with the scenario.
MASTER SCENES
The GM can set up a Scene in which the player characters don’t appear.
These are called Master Scenes.
Master Scenes can describe things happening in locations where
there are no player characters or talk about what’s going on behind the
story’s curtains—they are for giving the players information you’d like
them to know, even though their characters wouldn’t.
Movies, novels, and comics also have parts that happen away from the
protagonists that are for the benefit of the viewers or readers. In tabletop
RPGs, players are both characters who appear in the story as well as the
viewers (or readers).
Konosuba TRPG
214
■OPENING PHASE
The Opening Phase is the introduction to the story that will be told in the
session. Here, the GM explains and/or acts out the PCs’ objective and any
incidents related to the PCs. Generally, once the PCs accept a quest, the
Opening Phase ends.
QUESTS
A quest is a job for adventurers, managed by the Adventurers Guild. By
completing them, player characters can obtain rewards. For more details,
see page 263.
The player characters will decide which quest to take during the
Opening Phase.
MISSIONS AND CAMPAIGNS
It’s most common to use a dungeon format, where the PCs are charged
with a task during the Opening Phase and it is resolved by the end of the
scenario. However, it’s also possible to create grander stories that span
multiple scenarios.
Scenarios that are finished in one sitting, or individual quests in such a
scenario, are called Missions, while a scenario made up of multiple Mis-
sions is called a Campaign.
■MIDDLE PHASE
The Middle Phase is separated into Dungeon Scenes and Research
Scenes. The Middle Phase ends when it moves to the Climax Phase.
DUNGEON SCENES
Dungeon Scenes are just what they sound like—Scenes in which play-
er characters explore a dungeon. For commonly used rules in Dungeon
Scenes, see page 236.
▼AREAS
During Dungeon Scenes, each separate room or passage will change the
Scene when players enter it. These individual chambers are called Areas.
Generally, one Area is treated as one Scene.
RESEARCH SCENES
Research Scenes include Scenes leading up to a dungeon, or Scenes
where players investigate the dungeon itself or the quest. These are used
when players are trying to find dungeons or attempting to corroborate
the job or the person who made the request, among other things.

Rules Section
■CLIMAX PHASE
The Climax Phase is where the players fight the true enemy—the boss
character. Of course, there is no requirement for this phase to involve
a battle, but this is the best time to get excited about combat. Often,
this phase is about the players leveraging everything they have to their
advantage. The Climax Phase ends once all enemies standing in the way
have been defeated.
■ENDING PHASE
The Ending Phase is for the story’s epilogue, where the characters act
out what happens after the dust settles. It can include Scenes where
the quest-giver thanks them or where they split up rewards. The type
of Scene will depend on the scenario itself as well as the results of the
session.
■ENDING MAIN PLAY
When the Ending Phase is over and the GM announces that the scenario
has ended, Main Play (the meat of the session) ends, and things move to
After Play.
After Play
After Play is when the various tasks needed to end the game take place,
such as distributing experience points to players and cleaning up.
■LIFESTYLE PAYMENTS
This is when the player characters pay for their chosen Lifestyles.
Players cannot pay for other players during After Play. It is possible to
have PCs trade money among themselves, but only before the Ending
Phase concludes.
If a player can’t make their Lifestyle payment, the experience points
they gain from the session are reduced. Refer to Experience Point Distri-
bution on page 217. If this issue arises during a Campaign, the GM treats
whatever value couldn’t be paid as a debt and may work it into the story
of the scenario in the future.
■EXPERIENCE POINTS
The GM distributes experience points to all players. The players will also
distribute experience points to the GM by writing it on their session
sheets.
Refer to Experience Point Distribution on page 217 for information
about the experience point–distribution process.

■CHECKING PLAYER CHARACTERS
When Main Play ends, the player characters have completed a single ad-
venture. However, their exploits will continue. After Play is for preparing
for that.
DEAD PLAYER CHARACTERS
Dead player characters are now removed from the game. The play-
er whose character died should care for their character sheet like they
would a tombstone. In addition, even if a player character dies, the player
still receives experience points as normal.
LIVING PLAYER CHARACTERS
All player characters who are still alive will now prepare for their next
adventure.
▼REMOVING DAMAGE AND RESTORING BLESSINGS
All living characters recover from any damage they took during Main
Play. It doesn’t carry over to the next session. Blessings will return to their
values before the session began.
▼DISTRIBUTION OF ITEMS AND OTHER THINGS
Have the players discuss among themselves how to fairly split up any
items or money acquired during the scenario. Once they’ve decided, the
players will transfer any items and money they received from the record
sheet to their individual character sheets. If a player ends up with items
they don’t want, they can sell them for money. For details on selling
items, see page 237.
If any player characters are dead, all players should discuss what to do
with their share of the rewards.
▼PLAYER-CHARACTER GROWTH
Players can use the experience points they gained to advance their char-
acters. For PC growth, see page 240.
■CLEANING UP
Once all the player characters are finished doing what they need to do,
all that remains is to clean up the space you used. This is important so
that the house’s owner, facility managers, etc. will happily allow you to
use it for future sessions.
Once you’re finished cleaning up, it can be extremely fun to move
somewhere else, like a café or restaurant, and talk about the session you
just had—and prepare for the next one!
217
Rules Section
This page will explain how to distribute experi-
ence points, or EXP, during After Play.
Distributing to Players
Determining how many experience points a play-
er receives is done by reviewing the Experience
Point Table on their record sheet. Each individual
player’s EXP should be calculated separately.
The GM should instruct each player to check their
record sheet’s Experience Point Table and have
them write down their total points. Once each
player has finished writing this down, the GM
collects the record sheets and verifies the growth-
point tables of each. If there are no mistakes in
the Total column, the GM uses a writing tool that
is hard to erase, such as a black ballpoint pen, to
sign their name in the record sheet’s Game Mas-
ter Name column and returns it to the player. The
record sheet can now be redeemed for growth
points.
Items to check for experience points are as follows:
•Participated in the session until the end: +1 point
Whether a player character lives or dies, check this
if they participated for the entire session.
•Completed the quest: GM decides
Add this if the GM agrees that a quest (page 263)
has been completed. If the GM doesn’t know how
many points to give, the recommendation is to
use the level of the highest-level enemy who ap-
peared in the Climax Phase as the integer.
•Enemies encountered: +[Total Encountered En-
emy Level ÷ Number of Player Characters] points
These experience points are added depending on
the level of the enemies encountered. The result of
combat with them doesn’t matter.
The GM may choose not to include any enemies
who appeared but were not really a threat.
•Traps encountered: +[Total Encountered Trap Lev-
el ÷ Number of Player Characters] points
Experience points are added depending on the
level of the traps encountered. Whether those
traps were successfully disengaged or the like
doesn’t matter.
The GM may choose not to include any traps that
appeared but were not really a threat.
•Good role-play: +1 point
•Said or did things that helped another player: +1
point
•Helped the session move along: +1 point
•Helped with providing a location or other things,
contacting others, or adjusting around partici-
pants’ schedules: +1 point
•Subtotal
Write down this total number of experience points
before any Lifestyle-related deductions.
•Couldn’t pay Lifestyle costs: Points ÷ 2
If a player couldn’t pay enough for their Lifestyle
cost during After Play, that player receives reduced
experience points for the session. Put a check in
the empty checkbox and divide the subtotal by 2.
•Total
Write down the final number of experience points,
applying the result of the Lifestyle-related deduc-
tion if needed.
Distributing to the GM
After the GM returns the record sheets, each
player who took part in the session writes down
how many experience points they gained on the
session sheet. This session sheet can now be re-
deemed for growth points.
At this point, the players each write down their
experience-point subtotals (the total before any
Lifestyle-related deductions).
Add all subtotals together, then divide it by 3 (if
there are less than three players in the game, use
the number of players instead). If the GM could
check off Helped with providing a location or other
things, contacting others, or adjusting around partic-
ipants’ schedules, add 1 to that and give that total
amount of experience points to the GM.

Individual Combat
The fantasy genre is filled with stories of swords and magic, and Konosuba
TRPG would not be what it is without having combat. This section will
explain the rules of individual combat (sometimes called just combat),
which involves characters, both player and non-player, fighting against
each other.
■FLOW OF INDIVIDUAL COMBAT
Individual combat begins when the GM announces it does and follows
a process described in the following passages. In addition to explaining
the general progression of combat, this section elaborates on some of
the terms used when talking about individual combat.
ROUNDS
Individual combat is broken up into segments of in-game time called
rounds. A single round consists of four separate processes: the Setup
Process, the Initiative Process, the Main Process, and the Cleanup
Process, continuing until all characters participating in combat have fin-
ished performing actions. After the Cleanup Process, the second round
happens, with additional rounds continuing until combat is over.
If you need to quantify in the world of the game how long a round
takes, the suggested amount is one minute. If needed, of course, this
may be shorter or longer.
Because combat progresses through rounds, sometimes individual
combat is called round progression. Rounds can also be used for various
non-combat situations, such as disengaging traps in a limited amount
of time or running from a giant boulder that’s rolling toward the players.
▼SCENES AND ROUNDS
The GM doesn’t need to change the Scene just because individual com-
bat has started. They may switch Scenes if deemed appropriate or work
individual combat into the flow of the Scene itself as a continuation of it.
READY AND SPENT
Any characters who have not yet acted in the current round of individual
Combat Rules
219
Rules Section
combat are called ready, while those
who have finished acting are called
spent. These are both dealt with in
different ways.
▼READY
A ready character is one who has
not yet performed their Main Pro-
cess in the current round. During the
round’s Setup Process, all characters
move into a ready state, gaining the
ability to perform a Main Process
that round.
▼SPENT
A spent character is one who has al-
ready performed their Main Process
in the current round.
STARTING AND ENDING
INDIVIDUAL COMBAT
As mentioned before, individual
combat starts when the GM states as
much, and it will continue until the
GM says it’s over. The GM may de-
clare the end of combat in the mid-
dle of a round or after finishing the
whole round.
When individual combat ends, any
debuffs characters received during
that battle are automatically healed.
However, the GM may choose to
have some debuffs remain, depend-
ing on the scenario or what’s cur-
rently happening in the story. If a
character has not yet gone through
their Main Process for the current
round, they can take it before com-
bat ends, with the GM’s permission.

■SETUP PROCESS
The Setup Process denotes the beginning of a new round of combat.
During this time, the GM checks on all the characters participating in
combat.
FLOW OF THE SETUP PROCESS
The Setup Process is performed in the following order.
▼CHARACTER ENTRANCES
Any characters who haven’t yet entered the Scene may enter it now. For
information on player characters making entrances, refer to page 213.
▼SPENT TO READY
All characters who have already entered the Scene become ready, ex-
cept for any who have died or been knocked out.
▼DECLARING SKILL USAGE, ETC.
If the players or the GM wish to activate skills or items that can be used
during the Setup Process, they announce this now. They do not need to
declare what it is they’re going to perform. However, if the GM decides
it’s not necessary to declare the usage of a skill, item, etc., no one has to
declare they’re using it.
▼HANDLING DECLARATIONS
Characters’ declarations are resolved in the order of their Action Points,
highest to lowest. Characters who still haven’t announced they’d like to
use a skill, item, etc., may not do so once others have started resolving.
Also, if the target of any declaration goes away for some reason and
there would be no point in doing whatever a player previously declared,
they may withdraw their declaration.
▼ENDING THE SETUP PROCESS
Once all declarations have been handled, the Setup Process ends, and
the Initiative Process begins.
■INITIATIVE PROCESS
During the Initiative Process, the GM determines which ready character
will perform their Main Process next.
221
Rules Section
FLOW OF THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
The Initiative Process is performed using the steps below.
▼DECLARE SKILL USAGE, ETC.
If any player or the GM wishes to activate skills or items that can be used
during the Initiative Process, they announce this now. They don’t need to
declare exactly what they’re going to do in advance.
However, if the GM decides that the declaration of a skill, item, etc. is
unnecessary, no one has to declare that they’re using one.
▼HANDLING DECLARATION
Character declarations are resolved in the order of their Action Points
from highest to lowest. Characters who still haven’t announced they’d
like to use a skill, item, etc., may not do so once others have started re-
solving. Also, if a target goes away and the declared action would be
pointless, players can withdraw their declaration.
▼DETERMINING THE INITIATIVE CHARACTER
Determine the Initiative Character, who then performs their Main Pro-
cess. The Initiative Character is the one with the highest number of Ac-
tion Points who is also in a ready state. If this applies to more than one
character, player characters go first, followed by non-player characters.
If two player characters are ready and have the same number of Action
Points, discuss with those players who would like to go first. When in
doubt, the GM can make the decision as well. If multiple NPCs would
become the Initiative Character, the GM may decide who acts first.
If all characters are in a spent state, move to the Cleanup Process.
▼ENDING THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
When the Initiative Character has been determined, the Initiative Process
ends, and the game moves to that character’s Main Process. If the Initia-
tive Character currently has the stunned debuff, it automatically goes
away now.
■MAIN PROCESS
The Initiative Character determined by the Initiative Process now acts.
In general, the things a character does during this process are called
actions.
Konosuba TRPG
222
ACTIONS
There are five types of actions: move actions, minor actions, major ac-
tions, reactions, and free actions.
During the Main Process, a character may perform one move action, one
minor action, and one major action, in that order. A character doesn’t
always have to perform all three of these depending on the situation. It
is possible they may only be able to take a move action, or only a minor
and major action.
When a character’s Main Process ends, that character becomes spent.
For details about which actions fall into which categories, see pages
223
Rules Section
This is a list of actions that characters can take, pri-
marily in the Main Process.
Move Actions
Move actions are generally used for moving to
another location.
▼Combat movement
Moving a short distance (page 225).
▼Full movement
Moving a longer distance than combat movement
(page 227).
▼Withdrawal
Withdrawing from an Engagement (page 226).
▼Use a skill
Use a skill with Timing: Move action ( page 194).
▼Equip a weapon, shield, or piece of armor
You can equip one weapon, shield, or piece of ar-
mor. If you can’t equip a new item because you
already have something equipped to that slot, you
may drop what you currently have equipped and
equip the new one. You can retrieve any items you
drop at the end of combat.
▼Use an item
Use an item that requires a move action to trigger
its effects (page 194).
▼Recover from debuffs
Recover from the off-balance debuff (page 234).
▼Other
Any other action that the GM determines to be a
part of the move action category.
Minor Actions
Minor actions are simple actions that don’t cause
a character to become spent. You cannot perform
checks during minor actions.
▼Use a skill
Use a skill with Timing: Minor action (page 194).
▼Use an item
Use an item that needs to be used as a minor ac-
tion (page 194).
▼Equip a weapon, shield, or piece of armor
You can equip one weapon, shield, or piece of ar-
mor. If you can’t equip a new item because you
already have something equipped to that slot, you
may drop what you currently have equipped and
equip the new one. You can retrieve any items you
drop at the end of combat.
▼Recover from the intimidated debuff
Recover from the intimidated debuff (page 234).
▼Other
Any other action that the GM determines to be a
part of the minor action category.
Major Actions
Major actions are complex deeds such as attack-
ing or using certain skills. You can make checks for
major actions.
▼Attack
Use a weapon or skill to deal damage to an enemy
(page 227).
▼Use a skill
Use a skill with Timing: Major action (page 194).
▼Use an item
Use an item that needs to be used as a major ac-
tion (page 194).
▼Perform an action that requires a check
Any action that requires a check, such as detecting
traps, disengaging traps, identifying enemies, or
appraising items (page 236).
▼Exchange weapon or shield
Change one held item, such as your current weap-
on or shield, swapping it for another weapon or
shield from your possessions. If an item reads
Equip Slot: One, and your right or left hand is
free, you don’t need to exchange your weapon or
shield, and you can simply equip the item with-
out needing to place anything back in your pos-
sessions. If your ability scores, etc. would change,
recalculate them after taking this major action.
▼Exchange accessories
Change one currently equipped accessory, swap-
ping it for another one from your possessions. If
your Equip Slot: Accessory is open, you don’t
need to swap an accessory, and you can simply
equip one. If your ability scores, etc. would change,
recalculate them after taking this major action.
▼Other
Any other action that the GM determines to be
part of the major action category.
Actions
Konosuba TRPG
224
Free Actions
An action that doesn’t use up a move action,
minor action, or major action and can only be
performed by declaring them to the GM. You can
perform a free action at any time during your Main
Process. You can only perform 1 free action per
Main Process.
▼Use a skill
Use a skill with Timing: Free action (page 194).
▼Use an item
Use an item that needs to be used as a free action
(page 194).
▼Other
Any other action that the GM determines to be
part of the free action category.
Reactions
Any action taken in response to another charac-
ter’s major action is called a reaction. Performing
a reaction will not cause a character to become
spent.
A target may only perform one reaction per major
action. If such a reaction takes place, the character
who took the major action does an opposition
check against the reacting character. If the reactor
wins, the major action has no effect.
Spent characters can still perform reactions. How-
ever, reactions can generally only be done against
characters who are performing a major action.
Wait
If a player wishes, they can choose to have their
character wait instead of taking their Main Process.
A character who waits performs their Main Process
after all other characters are spent. A character
may choose to wait at any point up until right
before beginning their Main Process. You cannot
choose to wait after you’ve taken a move action.
If multiple characters choose to wait, characters
resolve their Main Processes at the end based
on their Action Points, but characters with lower
points act before those with higher points. You
cannot choose to wait again at this point.
Renounce Action
If the player wishes, they can renounce performing
any actions during their Main Process. They can
choose specific actions not to take, like only
moving, or elect to renounce all their actions for
that Main Process. If they renounce their major ac-
tion, their character immediately becomes spent.

This is the process performed at the end of the round.
FLOW OF THE CLEANUP PROCESS
The Cleanup Process is handled using the steps below.
▼HANDLING CONTINUING HP LOSS AND/OR MP LOSS
First, handle any skills, debuffs, items, traps, or anything else that deals HP
Loss or MP Loss (page 233). Refer to the appropriate data entry for how
much HP is lost or how to handle it.
▼RECOVER FROM DEBUFFS
The debuffs dazed, enraged, and knockback automatically go away
(page 233).
▼END SKILL EFFECTS
End the effects of skills that last until the end of the round.
▼HANDLE CONTINUING SKILLS
Handle any skills whose effects last past the end of the round.
▼USE SKILLS
Use skills with Timing: Cleanup Process.
▼OTHER
Any other actions approved by the GM.
Movement and Engagements
Relative positioning and distances are important ideas during combat.
Weapons all have specific ranges, and blocking an enemy’s movements
can also be crucial. This section covers the general rules of movement as
well as a concept known as Engagements.
■MOVEMENT
Characters can move during individual combat by using a move action.
There are three types of movement: combat movement, full move-
ment, and withdrawal.
COMBAT MOVEMENT
A type of movement used to close the distance to an enemy or put more
distance between you. Characters can move a number of meters equal to
their Movement in a single combat movement.
You cannot perform combat movement when in the same Engagement
as a hostile character or with something obstructing your movement.
Konosuba TRPG
226
Assault
When a character moves, if there are any enemies
(or anything obstructing the path) along their
path, the movement ends there, and henceforth,
the player enters the same Engagement as those
enemies. Entering an Engagement with an enemy
is called an assault.
The GM decides whether or not a movement
constitutes an assault. If a PC’s movement would
put them in an Engagement with an enemy ac-
cidentally, the GM should explain that before the
movement is resolved.
Engagements happen with allies, too—not just
enemies. If you assault an Engagement with an
ally, there is no need to end your movement.
Withdrawal
To break away from an Engagement with an ene-
my, you need to perform a withdrawal. You can
move up to five meters in a withdrawal. (If your
Movement is less than 5, you can move up to the
distance your Movement allows.)
If you perform a withdrawal as a move action, you
can no longer perform a minor action during that
Main Process.
Leaving an Engagement that contains only allies
does not require a withdrawal. In this case, players
may use either combat movement or full move-
ment, and players can even assault a different
Engagement.
Blocking
When fighting in narrow places, like a cramped
passage or a suspension bridge, it is extremely
difficult to slip past enemies. This restriction as
known as blocking.
If an Engagement is being blocked, the GM de-
clares an opposition check. The actor—the char-
acter trying to make a withdrawal—and the reac-
tor—the enemy character blocking them—add
their Action Points to their rolls for this opposition
check. If there are multiple obstructing enemy
characters, the actor does one check, and their to-
tal check score is compared to checks from each of
the enemy characters. If the actor doesn’t win all of
them, they cannot make a withdrawal and cannot
move outside the Engagement.

Rules Section
FULL MOVEMENT
A type of movement used to head for a distant enemy or get as far away
from one as possible. Characters can move up to a number of meters
equal to their Movement plus 5 in a single full movement.
If you use your move action to perform full movement, you can no
longer perform a minor action during that Main Process. You also cannot
perform full movement when in the same Engagement as a hostile char-
acter or with something obstructing your movement.
▼WITHDRAWAL
A type of movement used to escape an Engagement. See page 226 for
more details.
■ENGAGEMENTS
In Konosuba TRPG, Engagements are single units of space used to repre-
sent part of a battlefield.
When talking about how far close-combat weapons such as swords or
spears can reach with attacks, you can say things like there are three in the
Engagement or approach an Engagement. If other characters are in the
Engagement as well, you can say things like that character is in the same
Engagement or you are Engaged with that character.
In certain situations, non-character things such as traps or objects may
also be treated as part of an Engagement.
Attacking
Any action that affects an enemy, first and foremost dealing damage to
them, is called an attack. This section will explain how to make attacks
and the process for handling them.
■METHODS OF ATTACK
There are three different methods of attacking.
WEAPON ATTACKS
Whenever you attack another character with a weapon, such as a sword,
spear, or bow, it’s called a weapon attack. Weapon attacks fall into the
following categories based on what type of weapon is used.
▼CLOSE-COMBAT ATTACKS
Any attacks performed using weapons with Range: Close, such as
swords or your bare hands, are called close-combat attacks. In order to
Konosuba TRPG
228
perform a close-combat attack, you must be in the same Engagement as
the target you want to strike.
▼RANGED ATTACKS
Any attacks performed using weapons with anything besides Range:
Close are called ranged attacks. The range of the attack differs based
on the weapon and is described in meters. You cannot perform a ranged
attack against a character you’re currently Engaged with.
▼PROJECTILES
Certain weapons meant for close-combat attacks may state that they are
throwable. In these cases, you can perform a ranged attack with them.
The range for such attacks is the throwing character’s Strength+5 me-
ters. The weapon used for the throw is treated as a disposable item and
is generally lost afterward, but after combat ends, you can retrieve it by
passing a Luck check of DL 12.
MAGIC ATTACKS
Whenever you use a skill classified as a spell to attack a character, it’s
called a magic attack.
SPECIAL ATTACKS
Any attacks that don’t fall into the weapon or magic category are called
special attacks. Breath, an elemental-breathing attack that certain ene-
mies can use, is one such example of a special attack.
■ATTACK PROCESS
Attacks are resolved as opposition checks and follow a series of five steps:
attack declaration, hit check, dodge check, hit resolution, and rolling for
damage.
DECLARING AN ATTACK
In this step, the attacking player decides on a target and declares that
they’ll be attacking.
The one performing the attack (hereafter referred to as the attacker)
must choose an appropriate character to attack (hereafter referred to as
the defender). Then the attacker states how they will attack, any skills
they’ll use, and what weapon they’ll strike with. An attacker can only
attack with the weapons they have currently equipped.
The GM must confirm that the declared attack is possible to carry out.
229
Rules Section
If it is not, they must tell this to the player and explain how to pick an
appropriate target. For more on how to use skills, see page 194.
PERFORM A HIT CHECK
In this step, you perform a check to see whether or not the attacker’s
attack hits the defender. This is called a hit check. The ability scores used
for this hit check are as follows:
▼FOR WEAPON ATTACKS
Hit checks for weapon attacks use Dexterity.
▼FOR MAGIC ATTACKS
Hit checks for magic attacks require a magic check. Magic checks use
Intelligence.
▼FOR SPECIAL ATTACKS
Hit checks for special attacks differ from one to the next. Refer to each
skill’s individual entry.
If the hit check is a critical, the attack automatically succeeds. A critical
may also modify the damage done. See page 230 for details. However, if
the defender also gets a critical, the reaction has priority, and the defend-
er wins. In other words, the attack will miss in this case.
If the attacker fumbles, however, the attack automatically fails, and the
next step—the dodge check—doesn’t happen.
PERFORM A DODGE CHECK
Once the attacker has made their hit check, the defender now makes
their own check to see if they can avoid it. This is called a dodge check.
Dodge checks use Agility.
If the dodge check is a critical, the defender wins, and the attack will
miss, dealing no damage. However, if the defender fumbles, the attack
automatically succeeds.
HIT DETERMINATION
In this step, you compare the total score of the checks to one another to
determine if the attack hits. Use the same rules as in opposition checks. If
the attacker wins, move to the damage-roll step.
DAMAGE ROLL
If the attack lands, then in this step, you determine how much damage
the attacker deals to the enemy or enemies. There are three types of
Konosuba TRPG
230
damage: physical damage, magic damage, and piercing damage.
Rolling the dice to determine how much damage you deal is called a
damage roll.
If the attacker gets a critical on their hit check, they add an extra num-
ber of dice equal to the number of dice that came up as 6 for the hit
check to their damage roll. For example, if an attacker rolled three sixes
on their hit check, they would add three additional dice to their damage
roll.
▼PHYSICAL DAMAGE
Typically, damage dealt by weapons is physical damage. When dealing
physical damage, roll 2d6, then add your weapon’s attack power and any
other modifiers from things like skills to that number to calculate the
damage. The defender subtracts their Physical Defense.
The resulting value is the total damage dealt. If this value is 0 or less,
the defender takes no damage. The defender subtracts the total damage
dealt from their HP, then writes their new HP into the Current HP section
of their record sheet.
Damage = 2d6 + Attacker’s Weapon’s Attack Power + Modifiers
Total Damage Dealt = Damage – (Defender’s Physical Defense + Modifiers)
HP = HP Before Taking Damage – Total Damage Dealt
▼MAGIC DAMAGE
Magic damage is just that—damage dealt from magical effects. The de-
fender calculates magic damage differently than physical damage. The
defender subtracts their Magic Defense and any other modifiers from
the attacker’s damage.
The resulting value is the total damage dealt, which is subtracted from
the defender’s HP. If the total damage dealt is 0 or less, the defender
takes no damage. The defender subtracts the total damage dealt from
their HP, then writes their new HP into the Current HP section of their
record sheet.
Damage = Calculation Depends on the Skill Being Used
Total Damage Dealt = Damage – (Defender’s Magic Defense + Modifiers)
HP = HP Before Taking Damage – Total Damage Dealt
231
Rules Section
In addition, magic damage will sometimes have an element associat-
ed with it. These elements include fire, water, wind, earth, lightning,
ice, light, and darkness, as well as non-elemental damage, for nine
varieties in all. For convenience’s sake, non-elemental magic damage is
referred to as void. Should the defender possess an elemental attribute,
their Magic Defense may change when struck by a magic attack of a
certain element.
•Both have the same element
If a character has an elemental attribute, it means they are resistant to
that element. Thus, when taking magic damage of the same element,
they double their Magic Defense when calculating total damage dealt.
•Weak to the element
Some skills, items, etc. describe a weakness to an element, or an
elemental weakness. When a character receives magic damage of
an element they have a weakness to, treat their Magic Defense as 0
when calculating total damage dealt.
•Void element
In addition, magic damage that doesn’t have any elemental attributes
is listed as void. However, this is purely a term for convenience, and no
such “void element” exists. When you’re allowed to choose an element
for a skill, you may not choose void.
▼PIERCING DAMAGE
Piercing damage, as the name implies, is damage that ignores defense.
Thus, piercing damage cannot be reduced by Physical Defense or Magic
Defense. Additionally, because it is neither physical damage nor magic
damage, any skills or items that would reduce one or the other have no
effect on this type of damage.
However, if a skill or item simply says that it reduces damage, without
specifying physical or magic, it will reduce piercing damage.
Damage = Calculation Depends on the Skill Being Used
Total Damage Dealt = Damage – Defender’s Modifiers
HP = HP Before Taking Damage – Total Damage Dealt

■PROTECT
Just before the damage-roll step, a character in the same Engagement
as a character who landed their attack may choose to take the attack in
place of the one it landed on. This is called protecting.
All debuffs, skills, and item effects that would be applied to the target
along with the damage are transferred to the protecting character. In
addition, a character protecting another cannot use any skills or items
with Timing: Before damage roll.
For a character to perform protection, they must be in a ready state.
Immediately after performing protection, that character becomes spent.
No other characters may protect a character already protecting another.
Mob enemies (page 270) cannot perform protection.
If an attack (such as those with Target: Area) would strike both the
character performing protection and the target of that protection, the
character performing protection receives double damage. If the protect-
ing character passes their normal dodge check, then calculate the dam-
age like a normal protection is being performed.
Damage and Recovery
When taking damage or receiving the effects of skills, a character’s HP
may decrease, or they may be afflicted with a debuff. However, decreases
in HP are not the same thing as being wounded. HP doesn’t only
indicate the vitality in a character’s physical body, but also their level of
exhaustion and the state of their physical health. Thus, a character’s HP
going to 0 doesn’t mean that character immediately dies.
■KNOCKED OUT
A character whose HP falls to 0 becomes knocked out. A character who
is knocked out cannot use any skills or perform actions of any kind un-
til they recover from being knocked out. They also may not recover HP
through skills or items. They may not take a move action, major action,
or minor action, and they can’t react or take any free actions, either. (If
they’re the reactor to an opposition check, use 0 for their total check
score.) However, even knocked out, any continuous skill effects they
possess will remain, as will any debuffs. If, for some reason, a character
is knocked out without their HP going to 0, their HP automatically
becomes 0.
233
Rules Section
■DEATH CHECK
At the end of every combat round, all knocked-out characters must per-
form a death check.
A death check is an action check with the Luck stat. Its difficulty level
is determined by their current HP.
If they pass the death check, they are no longer knocked out, and their
HP becomes 1.
If they fail the death check, that character dies.
The GM may also decide that characters can only recover from being
knocked out via skills or items.
■DEATH
If a character dies, they are removed from the game during After Play.
■HEALING HP AND RECOVERING FROM KNOCKED
OUT
HP can be restored in many ways, such as with skills or items. However, a
character who has been knocked out cannot recover any HP.
In addition, in general, a character cannot recover from death.
■LOSS OF HP AND MP
Attacks decrease their targets’ HP with damage, but there are other ways
to lose HP. This is called HP Loss. HP Loss is not considered damage. Thus,
even skills or items that would decrease damage cannot be used to de-
crease HP Loss.
Things that decrease MP in the same way are called MP Loss.
■DEBUFFS
Characters will sometimes be afflicted with disadvantageous debuffs
from things like skills or items. There are seven types of debuffs, listed
on page 234, and it’s possible to have more than one at once. However,
if a character would be inflicted with more than one instance of the
same debuff, the new one is not applied on top of the old one—debuffs
don’t stack.

Intimidated
Intimidated is a state in which a character is un-
der pressure, shrinking away from something. In-
timidated characters cannot take a major action.
▼Recovering from intimidation
Use a minor action.
Enraged
Enraged is a state in which a character is highly
emotional toward a specific other character and
cannot fully control themselves. An enraged
character takes −2d6 on any major action checks
against any character save for the one who en-
raged them. If the enraged character attacks mul-
tiple targets, and one of them is the character who
enraged them, they do not take the −2d6 penalty.
▼Recovering from being enraged
Automatically heals during the Cleanup Process.
Stunned
Stunned is a state in which a character has tem-
porarily lost consciousness. A stunned character
takes −1d6 on any reaction checks.
▼Recovering from stun
Automatically heals during the Initiative Process
when the stunned character becomes the Initia-
tive Character.
Off-Balance
Off-balance is a state in which a character has lost
their footing, fallen down, or otherwise lost their
balance. Off-balance characters cannot perform
combat movement, full movement, or withdraw-
al. The effects of being off-balance supersede skill
effects.
▼Recovering from being off-balance
Use a move action.
Poisoned
Poisoned is a state in which a toxin or curse has
taken hold in a character’s body and is slowly sap-
ping their stamina. Different poisons have different
levels of effectiveness. If it has an effectiveness of 1,
it’s written as Poison (1). Poisoned characters suffer
5 HP Loss every Cleanup Process for each level of
effectiveness. Each time the effectiveness increas-
es by 1, 5 more points are added to the HP Loss.
▼Recovering from poison
Recovering from poison requires the usage of a
skill, item, etc. that can heal it.
Knockback
Knockback is a state in which a character’s move-
ments are delayed, such as when careening back
after taking a powerful blow. Knockback has an
effectiveness level. If it has an effectiveness of 1,
it’s written as Knockback (1). Characters who are
knocked back lose 5 Action Points for each effec-
tiveness level of the knockback.
▼Recovering from knockback
Automatically heals during the Cleanup Process.
Dazed
Dazed is a state in which a character’s conscious-
ness is hazy, such as after being struck by a tre-
mendous impact. Dazed characters take −1d6 on
all major actions.
▼Recovering from being dazed
Automatically heals during the Cleanup Process.
■Recovering from Debuffs
Debuffs can be healed at the times specified
in their descriptions, or by using skills or items.
Debuffs are only in effect during individual com-
bat. Typically, all debuffs are healed once individ-
ual combat ends.

Blessings
Player characters possess special powers because of their protagonist
status. These powers are called Blessings.
Blessings are a strength hidden deep within—the power to rewrite
one’s own fate.
■USING BLESSINGS
In this section, we’ll explain how to use Blessings.
ADDING DICE
When rolling dice, a player may use any number of Blessings their char-
acter possesses to add 1d6 to the roll for each Blessing spent this way.
The number of Blessings a character has is equal to their Luck.
A player must declare prior to the dice roll that they are going to be
using Blessings. They cannot roll the dice first, then use Blessings to in-
crease the number of dice they roll.
The dice addition from Blessings can be applied to any dice rolls:
checks, damage rolls, determining the effects of skills or items, determin-
ing loot, etc.
REROLLING CHECKS
Right after a player performs a check, they may use 1 Blessing to reroll
that check. However, no check can be rerolled in this way more than
once. They reroll using any extra dice gained from skills, items, or Bless-
ings.
When a check is rerolled using a Blessing, it cannot be rerolled after-
ward by way of skills or items.
Blessing Rules
Konosuba TRPG

This section explains other rules about various sit-
uations the player characters may encounter.
■Adventures and Expeditions
Traps and enemies litter dungeons, waiting to ob-
struct the adventurers’ paths. The rules introduced
here are mainly used inside dungeons, but they
can also be employed in other applicable situa-
tions.
Detecting Traps
A detectable trap is one that can be discovered by
attempting to detect traps. Primarily, detectable
traps activate when a character opens a door,
moves an object, or in response to other direct
player-character actions. See page 262 for more
details.
To detect a trap, the character must be in the
same Engagement (page 227) as the target they
believe is trapped (the object, wall, door, enemy,
etc.). Once they are, they declare they wish to
detect traps, then perform a Perception check. If
their total check score is greater than or equal to
the trap’s Detect Value, the check succeeds, and
they uncover the trap. If a character who does not
have Trap Detection Skill (page 157) fails the check,
they will accidentally spring the trap. Refer to each
individual trap for their effects.
If a trap doesn’t have a Detect Value, that means it
is not a secret trap. Characters can see these with-
out needing to detect them. The GM must draw or
otherwise mark them on the map, pointing them
out to the players in advance.
A character cannot attempt to detect traps in the
same place more than once.
Sensing Threats
Any traps that are perceivable can be discovered
by attempting to sense threats. Perceivable traps
activate when a character makes contact with
them (such as stepping on them or entering an
area). See page 262 for more details.
It is the GM who prompts the player characters
to perform sense threats checks. When a player
character makes contact with a perceivable trap,
the GM tells them to sense threats, after which
the character who came into contact with the
trap makes a Perception check. If their total check
score is greater than or equal to the trap’s Detect
Value, the check succeeds, and the trap is no lon-
ger secret. The player Engages the trap without
triggering it, and they can then attempt to disarm
the trap. Additionally, if multiple players come into
contact with the trap, they all have to pass the
sense threats check or else the trap will activate.
In addition, when a character comes into contact
with a perceivable trap, their movement automat-
ically ends in that location.
Disarming Traps
Characters can attempt to disarm traps that have
been hidden by detecting or sensing them, as well
as any traps that aren’t concealed. This is called
trap disarming. The character attempting to
disarm a trap must be in the same Engagement
(page 227) as the target. Once they are, they
declare that they wish to disarm the trap, then
make a Dexterity check. If their total check score
is greater than or equal to the trap’s Disarm Value,
the check succeeds, and the trap becomes inert
and will never activate again. However, if they fail
to disarm the trap, it activates. Refer to each indi-
vidual trap for their effects.
Identifying Enemies
Investigating what sort of abilities an encoun-
tered enemy (page 270) possesses is called
enemy identification. When a character attempts
to identify an enemy, they choose one target with-
in visual range, declare that they want to identify
it, and make an Intelligence check. If their total
check score is greater than or equal to the enemy’s
identification score (also called an ID score), the
check succeeds, and the GM tells them the ene-
my’s name, level, element, whether their Physical
or Magic Defense is higher (or if they’re the same),
and any enemy skills they possess.
A character who has attempted an enemy identi-
fication in a Scene cannot try it again on the same
enemy.
Enemy identification can also be used to gain in-
formation about other NPCs, such as their name
or other information, revealing details about them.
Jumping
Players sometimes need to jump across things like
crevasses or holes. To jump, perform a Strength
check with a DL equal to twice the distance that
needs to be jumped (in meters). If the character
passes the check, they safely reach the other side.
If they’re jumping vertically, the DL is instead four
times the distance in meters.
When jumping during round progression (such
as in combat), it is treated the same as a full-
movement action, and the character cannot take a
minor action that round.
Scaling
Climbing up a cliff face or wall requires scaling it.
Scaling has a DL of 10, and passing a Strength
check will allow the character to climb a distance
equal to half of their Movement. If they fail that
Other Rules 1
237
Rules Section
check, they must make an Agility check of DL 10.
On a success, the character only falls a distance
equal to half of their Movement. If they fail the
Agility check, they fall all the way down. For infor-
mation about falling damage, see Other Damage
on page 238.
When scaling during round progression (such as in
combat), it is treated the same as a full-movement
action, and the character cannot take a minor ac-
tion that round.
■Other Non-Dungeon Rules
The rules introduced here are for situations that
player characters might often come across outside
dungeons.
Gathering Information
A character can acquire information by asking
around or looking into paperwork by using infor-
mation gathering. The ability score and difficulty
level used for information-gathering checks are
determined by the GM based on the information
to be gathered. If they can’t decide on one abili-
ty score in particular, it is recommended to make
it a Perception check. If the character passes the
check, they receive the information.
■Difficulty Level
•Information everyone in town knows: around 10
•Information adventurers would know: 12
•Information specific to certain circles: 14
•Information on leading figures in nations and
towns: 16
•National secrets: 20 or more
Negotiating
When a player character is negotiating with an
NPC, they make a Mind opposition check.
Determining the actor and the reactor will vary de-
pending on the situation, but in general, the player
character is the actor, and the NPC is the reactor.
We recommend thinking of it with the following
example: If the NPC lies, a player can try to see
through the deception as the actor, and if the play-
er lies, they can try and fool the NPC as the actor.
The GM can allow the use of skills like Deception
Skill, Detect Deception Skill, and Negotiation Skill,
depending on the situation. Also, the GM may set
a single Mind value as a difficulty level for an NPC
instead of having them make checks.
Buying and Selling Items
Players can buy and sell items at any time during
the session if allowed by the GM, whether it’s Pre-
play, Main Play, or After Play. When buying an item,
that item’s value is subtracted from the character’s
money. A character can’t buy an item without the
necessary funds.
When players sell items, they receive money equal
to half the item’s printed worth.
Konosuba TRPG
238
Rolling to Determine Loot
When an enemy dies or is knocked out, characters
can acquire things from them, such as the pos-
sessions that enemy was holding. These items are
collectively called loot. What loot an enemy has is
determined via dice roll.
To determine loot, roll 2d6. Compare the result to
the specific enemy’s loot table. Characters acquire
any items listed in the corresponding entry on the
enemy’s loot table. Any character who has already
entered the Scene may roll for loot. However, this
roll is not a check, so it cannot be altered or redone
using Blessings or other methods.
Any item obtained from a loot roll that has a
specified monetary value can be exchanged for
that amount of money instead of half, and it has
a weight of 1. Characters may sometimes obtain
weapons, armor, potions, or other items as well.
The GM may require that the PC rolling for loot
must have been in the same Engagement with
said enemy.
Other Damage
Characters may take damage from a variety of
other sources, such as falling from a high place
or coming into contact with natural fires. In these
cases, characters always take 2d6 piercing dam-
age. The GM may also add dice to the roll as ap-
propriate. For example, they may add dice in the
event of a particularly high fall or especially pow-
erful fire.
■Special States
This section introduces rules for special states,
such as flying and swimming.
Flying
A character may be able to fly by using a skill or
an item. These characters are considered to be in
a flying state.
A character in a flying state can only obstruct the
passage of other characters also in a flying state.
Thus, even if Engaged with an enemy, unless that
enemy is in a flying state, a character doesn’t need
to end their movement. Plus, when moving out of
the Engagement, they can use combat movement
or full movement to assault another Engagement
as well if they like.
There are no specific rules for how high a char-
acter in a flying state can or will be. If needed, it
is recommended to treat them as being one to
two meters in the air. The important thing is that
all characters in an Engagement are able to use
close-combat attacks against one another.
Swimming
If the GM determines that a character is in deep
enough water to restrict their movement, that
character is now in a swimming state.
A character in a swimming state has half their
normal Movement and cannot perform full move-
ment. A player can attempt a DL 10 Strength
check as their move action to ignore this penalty.
However, if they fail, they won’t be able to move
at all, and their Main Process will automatically
end without them being able to use their minor
or major actions.
Moving in Secret
A character can use a major action to hide them-
selves and enter a stealth state. However, if the
GM decides there isn’t anywhere to hide nearby,
a character may not enter a stealth state (exclud-
ing the effects of skills, items, or Cheats). A char-
acter loses the stealth state when they make any
check, excluding reactions. Moving, using an item,
or using any skill with a target other than Self will
remove the stealth state, too, even if these actions
don’t require a check. The effects of any skills or
items related to being in a stealth state will last
until the end of the action that breaks the stealth
state. A character cannot enter a stealth state while
Engaged with an enemy (any character who bears
malicious intent). Characters in a stealth state can-
not be attacked, cannot be hit by any skills other
than those with a target of Self, and can’t be tar-
geted by items or enemy identification. However,
they can be targeted by anything that designates
a target of Scene or Area. [Note that they cannot
be targeted by anything with Scene (Choose) or
Area (Choose).]
In order to discover a character in a stealth state
within visual range, a character must perform an
opposition check as a major action; both char-
acters use Perception. (The one attempting to
see the hidden character is the actor, while the
one currently in a stealth state is the reactor.) If
there are multiple characters in a stealth state, it
becomes a one-versus-many check (page 194). A
character may also choose to exclude allied char-
acters in a stealth state. If the character attempting
to discover a character in a stealth state wins, the
latter’s stealth state is removed.
Darkness
Places without light can obstruct characters in
various ways. In darkened places, all characters’
Movement becomes five meters (if a character
has less than 5 Movement, it stays the same), and
they are unable to perform full movement. They
also take −1d6 on all checks. However, if all char-
acters involved would take this check penalty, the
Other Rules 2
239
Rules Section
GM may simply ignore the penalties when dealing
with checks.
Surprise Attacks
Whenever characters are subject to an unexpect-
ed assault, such as an ambush or an attack in the
night, or if they stage one themselves, the GM
may decide that a surprise attack has occurred.
Each of the characters performing the surprise
attack may take one Main Process before normal
combat rounds begin. The order of these Main
Processes may be determined without heeding
the usual method of consulting Action Points.
Also, if a character on the reaction side of a sur-
prise attack would make a reaction check during
any of these extra Main Processes, they take −1d6
on that check.
Konosuba TRPG

Both the players and GM receive experience points at the end of a ses-
sion. Players can spend these experience points to have their characters
grow. Experience points are given to the players and GM themselves—
not the characters. A player or GM may use their experience points on
any character they have created.
Experience points can be used during Preplay or during After Play,
with the GM’s permission. See page 208 for more details on Preplay and
After Play.
A player or GM loses any experience points they use. When using them,
have the GM write over them in the record sheet and session sheet with
a red pen or something else that makes it difficult to change.
There are two ways to use experience points.
■RAISING CHARACTER LEVEL
A player can raise their character’s level by spending experience points.
The number of experience points needed to gain a level in this way is
ten times the character’s current level. When a character gains a level, the
player can perform a few different actions explained below.
LEARNING SKILLS, CHANGING CLASSES, AND GAINING
BLESSINGS
When a character gains a level, they can learn skills, change classes, or
raise their Blessings. To learn a skill, choose one of the following patterns:
1Learn 3 levels’ worth of racial skills and/or class skills
2Learn 3 levels’ worth of racial skills and/or class skills, as well as
change classes
3Learn 2 levels’ worth of racial skills and/or class skills, as well as gain
a Blessing.
LEARNING SKILLS
Choose skills to learn from those available to the character’s class. The
character may acquire a new skill or raise the level of a skill they’ve al-
Character Growth
241
Rules Section
ready learned. However, a player may not raise a single class skill further
than 2 levels.
CHANGING CLASSES
When choosing pattern 2, a player can change their character’s class.
This is called a class change.
When changing classes, rewrite the class section and Class Modifier
section on your character sheet, then recalculate all ability scores.
When changing classes, a character can learn both the skills from their
previous class and the skills from their new class.
◆ADVENTURERS CHANGING CLASSES
If your character changes classes upon leveling up, they do not lose any
class skills they’ve already learned.
However, if a character changes from Adventurer to another class, they
lose their Additional Blessings effect. In other words, they take a −1 to
their maximum number of Blessings. If the character changes back to
Adventurer, they gain it back.
◆CHANGING TO ADVANCED CLASSES
If a character has reached at least level 10, they may class change into an
advanced class.
For details on changing into an advanced class, see page 242.
GAINING BLESSINGS
When choosing pattern 3, the character gains 1 additional Blessing.
RAISING ABILITY SCORES
A character may choose three base ability scores and raise each of them
by 1 point. There is no upper limit on a base ability score’s value.
After raising base ability scores, recalculate your ability bonuses and
ability scores.
CHANGES IN SECONDARY ABILITY SCORES
When raising ability scores, stats calculated from certain ability scores—
max HP, max MP, and Action Points—will also increase.
▼MAX HP AND MAX MP
For each level a character gains, their max HP increases by the HP Gain
amount for their class, and their max MP increases by the MP Gain
Konosuba TRPG
242
amount for their class. Refer to the Class Modifier list on page 120 for
these values. In addition, if you’ve increased their base Strength score or
base Mind score, don’t forget to recalculate the relevant values.
When changing classes, refer to the HP and MP Gain values for the
new class rather than the old one.
Max HP = Max HP on Character Creation + Class HP Gain Value +
Base Strength Score’s Increase
Max MP = Max MP on Character Creation + Class MP Gain Value +
Base Mind Score’s Increase
▼ACTION POINTS AND MOVEMENT
A character’s Action Points will grow with increases to Agility and Percep-
tion, and a character’s Movement will grow with increases to Strength.
Points and Movement.
■LEARNING GENERAL SKILLS
By spending 5 experience points, a character may learn 1 level’s worth
of general skills.
However, a character can only know a total level of general skills equal
to their CL plus 1.
For example, a level-5 character can only learn up to 6 levels’ worth
of general skills, so if they already have 5 levels’ worth of general skills
learned, they can only acquire 1 more level’s worth.
Changing to Advanced Classes
■ADVANCED CLASSES
Advanced classes are alternate versions of specific classes that are even
more specialized in their role.
TYPES OF ADVANCED CLASSES
The advanced classes are listed below. For explanations on each of these
243
Rules Section
•Crusader
•Arch-priest
•Arch-wizard
•Assassin
CLASS-CHANGE REQUIREMENTS
To change to an advanced class, a character must fulfill the following
requirements.
▼CHARACTER LEVEL
Reaching level 10 gives a character the ability to change to an advanced
class.
When a character has reached level 10 or higher, they must choose
pattern 2 when raising stats: to learn 3 levels’ worth of racial skills and/or
class skills and perform a class change, then choose an advanced class as
the target of that class change.
▼MAIN-CLASS RESTRICTIONS
Which advanced classes are accessible to a character depends on their
current class (the one before changing classes). For example, only a War-
rior can class change into a Crusader.
Refer to the Class Change Table for which classes can become which
advanced classes.
▼CHANGING BETWEEN ADVANCED CLASSES
A character cannot change directly from one advanced class to another.
However, by first going through the prerequisite class, they can become
a different advanced class.
For example, a Crusader character can’t class change into an Arch-
priest. However, if that character class changes into a Priest, they will
then be able to change into an Arch-priest.
CLASS MODIFIERS OF ADVANCED CLASSES
Class Modifiers, HP Gain values, and MP Gain values will alter as a result
of changing to an advanced class. Refer to page 120 and rewrite the
class-modifier section on your character sheet.
Konosuba TRPG

LEARNING SKILLS
Advanced classes can also learn skills from their base class.
For example, a Crusader can still learn Warrior skills upon leveling up,
and an Arch-wizard can learn Wizard skills.

“I’ve finally arrived…in Axel…”
You stand at the entrance to the settlement with wounds covering
your body. Haggard breaths come from your mouth. The sacred blade
entrusted to you by the goddess has lost its sheen. Although you’ve
been using it to keep yourself up, you only manage to make it another
few steps before finally collapsing. The last of your strength finally de-
parts from your body.
There’s noise all around you. Townspeople and adventurers are hurry-
ing over, having seen you fall.
Through your hazy vision, you spot a goddess among the throng.
She has hair like clear, flowing water, leaving no doubt in your mind of
her divine nature.
A moment later, your body fills with energy.
I need to give her a piece of my mind! you think as your consciousness
fades.
And thus does your adventure…continue. Had it concluded there,
things might have been easier. Too bad! Your journey has only just be-
gun!
Welcome to this nonsensical, good-for-nothing world, adventurer!
First Time Reincarnating in Another World
Your eyes open.
The ceiling that greets you is wholly foreign.
“Where am I…?” you murmur.
The kind person who seems to have brought you to this oddly coarse
bed responds, “This is Axel Town.”
He’s a boy who seems rather close to your age. You ask his name, and
he gives it freely.
“I’m Kazuma. I work a part-time job at the moment, so I have to say
‘This is Axel Town!’ to everyone who arrives here.”

Wouldn’t that mean he’s on the clock right now? Shouldn’t he be at
his workplace?
When you ask him as much, he sighs. “I would, but you seemed so de-
lirious, and you were murmuring about the goddess Aqua, too…”
“Fu-fu-fu…”
A figure slides out from the shadows with a confident laugh. You know
exactly who it is.
Before you realize it, you’re mouthing her name.
Aqua, the goddess.
You spring to your feet and take one step, then another, toward her.
“That’s right—I am the goddess Aqua. You seem to be a devout wor-
shipper, so I decided I would show myself especially for you. What would
you request of the deity of water? …Hey, what? Why are you glaring at
me like that? Why are you clenching your fists? Huh? What’s happening?
Wait, I’m scared, no, stop, stop, no, stop, help me, Kazumaaaaaa!”
Righteous fury sprouts in your heart.
The reason for that fury? Let’s have a look.
Reminiscence (Abridged)
“Welcome to the world of the dead.
“Unfortunately, you have died.
“Welcome to the world of the dead. I am the goddess Aqua, the one who
guides agonized souls of the dead like you.”
The goddess Aqua’s words flow through your mind—an abridged ver-
sion of them anyway. It’s a weird story, your life having flashed before
your eyes. You were already dead by this time, after all.
You perished, then found yourself in the land of the dead.
However, you were given a chance to come back to life in another
world.
That other world was currently threatened by a being known as the
Demon King. Aqua and some others were apparently in the midst of a
campaign where they sent young people like you to that other world,
with your memories and bodies intact, to defeat the Demon King.
Aqua even threw in a bonus: You got to choose any item you wished
to bring with you—from powerful divine artifacts to incredible magical
powers!
That was how the beautiful girl standing before your eyes, who called
herself a goddess, explained it.
Konosuba TRPG
248
It was all very suspicious, but you went for it.
You’d already died anyway, after all.
The “other world” the goddess Aqua described is a fantasy world of
swords and magic. Perfect for someone like you—a video-game lover.
You’d be put in a safe spot to start your new, reincarnated life.
She’d explained that, too, so you followed her instructions and got
onto the magic circle. And that was the moment you embarked on a
journey to another world!
“Ah, crap—”
Those were the last words you heard trickle from Aqua’s mouth back
in the world of the dead.
Back to the Present
The goddess was supposed to have transported you to a safe place, but
when you opened your eyes, you were right smack in the middle of a
whole swarm of dangerous monsters. They ripped into you. It was only
luck that kept you alive long enough for you to find the way to Axel.
Basically, the goddess messed up your starting location, you almost
died, and you can safely assume from her attitude that she has forgotten
all this.
“You, uh… You really had a rough time, huh?” asks Kazuma with in-
credibly kind eyes.
Next to him, Aqua—with a sign hanging around her neck that reads
I’M A USELESS GODDESS—is sitting formally with her legs tucked. She looks to
be at a loss, which cools your fury several degrees.
Kazuma explains that he was reincarnated here, just like you.
As revenge for this goddess laughing at his cause of death, he chose
Aqua herself as his bonus! That explains the mystery of what the goddess
is doing here.
“Hey, Aqua, look. I’m not the only poor soul you made suffer. Shouldn’t
goddesses lead by example or something?”
Aqua groans. “I…I’m sowwy…,” she says, pressing her head to the floor
in apology.
You start to feel like you’re picking on a weakling, so you decide it’s all
water under the bridge.
“Picking on a weakling… A goddess, and I’ve been dubbed a weak-
ling…”
As Aqua mutters with evident dissatisfaction, Kazuma continues, “By
249
World Section
the looks of things, you haven’t even registered as an adventurer yet. I’ll
show you where the Adventurers Guild is.”
What a good person!
Unfortunately, your opinion of Kazuma immediately plummets when
he takes a piece of paper out of his pocket that says, very clearly, Re-
cruit-an-Adventurer Reward: 500 Eris.
It seems even bringing the goddess Aqua to this world hasn’t landed
him a pleasant, cushy adventurer lifestyle. You reflect on how surprisingly
harsh fantasy worlds like these can be.
Summary of Important Points 1
•People from modern Japan are reincarnated into this world, or isekai
•The goal of this reincarnation is to slay the Demon King
•Those who reincarnate receive incredible powers (or cheats)
Another World, Full of Mysteries
“How much do you know about this world?” asks Kazuma as you’re walk-
ing. You shake your head, for you don’t know anything. Only that there
are very, very scary things here.
“Gotcha, gotcha. In that case, I’ll give you some easy-to-understand
advice as a more experienced adventurer.”
“Might I remind you that you don’t know very much about this world,
either, Kazuma?”
“Urk.” Kazuma makes a face like he was dealt a terrible wound.
According to him, this is a stereotypical fantasy world of swords and
magic. Apparently, that’s really the only way you need to think about
it. Elves have long ears, dwarves are short of stature, and there are an-
imal people with cat ears. There’s a Demon King, regular demons, and,
occasionally, a blockheaded goddess who gets dragged down into the
human world.
“Hey, that was one snippet of info too many!” Aqua puffs out her
cheeks in anger, but you are fully convinced.
“With most things here, your first impression after hearing about
something is probably right. Animal people are animal people, and cab-
bages are cabbages. Everyone’s just going about their lives here, being
active, unlike those in our world…”
Hey, that was one snippet of info too many!
Konosuba TRPG

Kazuma cuts off your interjection. “However, there is a group of people
that does require a bit of explanation.”
“Right—the Crimson Magic Clan,” adds Aqua.
Crimson what-now?
It happens right after she says those words.
“Has somebody summoned me?! Hiyaaaaahhh!”
A girl carrying a signboard that says THIS IS THE ADVENTURERS GUILD makes
a gallant entrance.
The Crimson Magic Clan
“My name is Megumin! First among the spell-casters of the Crimson
Magic Clan, and an Arch-wizard who uses the strongest magic—explo-
sion magic!”
Megumin puffs up her nonexistent chest and announces her name
proudly and clearly.
“It was time for a lunch break, so I waited for you two at the guild pub
so that we could eat together! But then you never came! And then I got
lone— I did not get lonely or anything, but I came to find you instead.
Kazuma, Aqua, who is this?”
“A new adventurer. We’re going to get them registered now.”
This strange girl appears to be an acquaintance of Kazuma’s.
So she’s a member of the Crimson Magic Clan, huh? It makes sense,
given the way she’s dressed. The robe she wears definitely gives off a
magic-user vibe, and she has a patch over one of her eyes.
Maybe it’s some kind of seal. Doubtless, an immense power would be
unleashed should she remove it.
“Also, Megumin’s eyepatch is apparently just for aesthetic.”
You were wrong. She simply wears it because she wants to.
“Heh-heh-heh… This eyepatch may be an accessory, but all those of
the Crimson Magic Clan possess high intelligence and powerful magic.
You certainly know where to look.”
Megumin seems to have some pretty unique sensitivities.
Still, her people are quite eccentric—not the kind you’d encounter in
the usual fantasy stuff you know of.
The name Megumin is good, too. It’s just oozing originality. You try to
say as much in a considerate tone, and Megumin nods with satisfac-
tion, agreeing with you. Perhaps her odd behavioral quirks are common
among Crimson Magic Clan members.

Summary of Important Points 2
•This world is populated by Native Inhabitants in addition to those
reincarnated here
•The Crimson Magic Clan is a people with an affinity for spell-casting
•The Crimson Magic Clan has unique sensitivities
The Adventurers Guild
A particularly large building sits in the center of Axel.
The Adventurers Guild.
It has a pub attached to the primary structure, and a red-haired wait-
ress flashes you a sweet smile. Kazuma and the others guide you over to
line up at the reception counter.
“Oh. You do have money, right?” inquires Kazuma suddenly. “The regis-
tration fee is 1,000 eris. When Aqua and I first got here, we didn’t have a
coin on us. It was miserable…”
“I’m surprised you two were able to register at all,” Megumin remarks.
“I handled it just fine. I skillfully and swiftly gathered all the cash we
needed,” states Aqua, giving a sniff of pride.
She doesn’t appear to be completely lying. Kazuma’s clouded expres-
sion speaks volumes, however.
Fortunately, you do have money on hand: a mere 3,000 eris that you
had to claw and scrape your way to obtain.
“Hello. Registering a new adventurer?”
The lady at reception gives you a warm smile. Her chest is a little on the
large side. Something you feel Aqua and Megumin lack.
“…You’re being referred by Mr. Kazuma Satou?” the receptionist asks
with some consternation. You nervously nod and say yes. “I see. Come
right this way.”
Still, she’s a professional. Her smile is impenetrable, and not a hint of
emotion breaks through as she leads you through the adventurer-regis-
tration process. You do, however, hear her mumble, “Well, now I’m wor-
ried…”
What did these strange people even do?
You turn around and see Kazuma, Aqua, and Megumin all conspicu-
ously avert their eyes.
Once you’ve completed your application, the receptionist takes
out a card. It’s about the size of a driver’s license. Apparently, it’s an
Konosuba TRPG
252
adventurer’s identification card.
“If you touch this card, it will measure your stats.”
“By the way, I set a new record with my stats. The Adventurers Guild
had never seen them so high!” boasts Aqua, sticking out her chest.
Well, she is a goddess, so…
“Higher stats mean more freedom when choosing your occupation. If
you’re lucky, you may be able to acquire an advanced class right away!”
Stats—a numerical representation of your abilities.
Other concepts, such as levels and experience points, seem to exist in
this world as well. You gain experience points from defeating enemies
and rise in level once you have enough. Leveling increases your stats in
turn and gives you the opportunity to learn more skills and such.
“More accurately, you absorb the power that all living beings possess,
and that’s what accumulates as experience points,” explains the recep-
tionist. You find that interesting. “Many adventurers fight monsters for
work, but that isn’t an adventurer’s only job. The Guild always has plenty
of diverse quests available, so please feel free to try all manner of jobs.”
The receptionist beams, and you are absolutely moved. For the first
time since coming to this world, you feel like you’re actually playing a real
tutorial. It feels like the long, difficult prologue has finally ended. After
suffering through that perilous den of monsters the goddess mistakenly
tossed you into, you’ve reached a point of stability at last.
“I already apologized for that!”
So this is what becoming an adventurer is really like? Excitement fills
you. You’ve taken your first steps in this new world.
Quests
The quest board hangs a short distance from the reception counter. Sim-
ple requests penned on paper are stuck all over it. Some adventurers are
reading over the available jobs, while others are peeling off the ones
they like and are bringing them up to reception.
In front of the quest board stands a female knight with gorgeous
blond hair and prominent white armor, a serious look on her face.
When she sees you—well, when she sees Kazuma and the others—
she waves a hand at them.
“Kazuma, I found a good quest! Should we go on this one tomorrow?”
“What do we have here? ‘Slay Giant Toads. Giant Toads keep showing
up in the fields and making trouble for us. Please slay them…’ We’re not
253
World Section
doing that! The reward is way too low! Put it back this instant!”
“But why?! I would still like to be swallowed whole by one of them! Is
that not reward enough?!” the blond girl asserts.
“Then go do it yourself!”
This young woman seems to be one of Kazuma’s party members. Ev-
idently, she, too, is an…unfortunate sort of person. As you look at her
with that thought in mind, Megumin tells you her name.
“She’s Darkness, our Crusader.”
“Oh… Forgive my rudeness. Is this an acquaintance of yours, Kazuma?”
You nod to her in greeting. The blond knight immediately straightens
up. When she stands like that, she looks like nothing but a normal person.
After seeing your clothing, Darkness narrows her eyes, sympathy plain.
“Your outfit has been through a lot… You must have had a very rough
time getting here.”
Well, there were all those monsters that surrounded you and beat you
to a pulp.
When you explain that, Darkness’s expression lights up.
“What?! You…you were pounded into the dirt?! By monsters?!”
As her eyes glitter, you glance at Kazuma. The look on his face tells you
to infer the meaning behind her reaction for yourself. Thus, you do.
Luna, the Receptionist
A standout beauty of a receptionist, even
among the others in Axel’s Adventurers Guild.
In this game, she’s generally treated as an NPC.
She mediates quests, interfacing in various
ways with the player characters.
Adventurer
Both the name of a class and the general term
for anyone who makes a living from adventur
-
ing. The guild employees are not considered
adventurers.
Adventurers Guild
The organization mediating all adventurer
work. Every town and city has one. They issue
Adventurer’s Cards, commission quests, buy
the remains of monsters, and provide food
and drink services.
In general, the player characters—all adven
-
turers—will receive each of these services
from one of the receptionists.
Axel’s Adventurers Guild
For all intents and purposes, the guild in Axel
also provides support for fledgling adventur
-
ers. For example, they manage the numbers of
weaker monsters in the vicinity so that they’re
not all wiped out.

“I’m—I’m terribly sorry… You must have been through…so, so
much…hardship.”
Darkness fidgets, unable to hide her interest.
Summary of Important Points 3
•The first step to slaying the Demon King is to register as an adventurer
•Accumulate experience points to level up
•Fulfill quests to gain experience points
255
World Section
What Is the Axel Town?
The home for player characters in this game. Be-
cause it stands farthest from the Demon King’s
castle in the kingdom of Belzerg, the monsters
nearby are weak, making it a perfect town for
fledgling adventurers to train in. Public safety here
is good enough that children can run around out-
side.
Axel’s Facilities
•Adventurers Guild
A facility located in the center of Axel. Also con-
tains a restaurant and pub. The adventurers—the
player characters in this game—generally receive
quests from here before leaving to complete
them.
•Center District
Surrounding the Adventurers Guild is a group of
other facilities central to Axel, such as the police
station, court, and prison.
•Gates
Entrances to the town. Mercenaries keep watch
nearby.
•Front Gates
The biggest gates in town. The path leading
through runs directly to the Adventurers Guild in
the center of town.
•Walls
The outer walls surrounding the town.
•Main Street (Inn Street)
The primary thoroughfare from the front gates to
the Adventurers Guild. Shops line it on either side.
Many of them are multistory inns. Adventurers
who have no homes in town stay in these as well.
•Stables
The stables for the horses. People can purchase
lodging here, too. Because it’s inexpensive, those
who don’t have the cash will stay the night in a
stable.
•Public Cemetery
A cemetery for honoring Axel’s citizens who have
passed on.
•River
A river that flows through the center of Axel. Not
only is it a source of water for everyday life, but it’s
also a cargo route for smaller ships.

In This Wonderful World
You have lunch with Kazuma and the others at the pub before parting
ways. You know they should have quite a bit more money saved up than
you, but they didn’t pay for your meal.
They leave for their afternoon part-time jobs while you remain in the
pub, looking idly at the ceiling. The holy sword bestowed upon you by
the goddess Aqua is giving off a faint light from its resting spot on the
table.
On a whim, you take out your Adventurer’s Card.
It lists your name, class, and level on it. Though you’re still just starting
out, this card will serve as a record for all your experiences during your
adventures to come.
“E-excuse me, but…”
While you’re grinning at the card, a girl hesitantly calls to you.
Naturally, you’ve never met her before. Judging by her equipment, she
must be a Priest.
“Would you like to form a party together?”
You’re surprised, yet you agree immediately. Then you make sure to
mention that you might hold her back because you’re new to this.
“Oh, I’m a beginner, too, so… Thank you!”
You nod in appreciative response.
She smiles.
This is how your adventure began.
Your party of fledgling adventurers is every bit as unique as Kazuma’s
friends—noisy and unfortunate in some ways. Still, you can tell your trav-
els will be lively and enjoyable.
Welcome to this wonderful world, adventurer!

World Section
Personalities
This section introduces characters from the
original work who also serve as NPCs living
in Axel. The GM may create their own NPCs
aside from them as well.
Gender: Female Age: Unknown
The goddess in charge of modern Japan. She used to send dead Jap-
anese people to this world in order to defeat its Demon King, but she
was forced by Kazuma into transferring into the world itself. Her class
is Arch-priest. She’s incredibly beautiful, but her personality is a rather
large fly in the ointment. She may come to use her healing magic on
wounded players.
“I am a goddess!”
Aqua
Gender: Male Age: 16
The original work’s protagonist. A Reincarnated Person from modern
Japan. With his low stats, he didn’t get a choice of class, instead start-
ing as Adventurer. People (mostly women) don’t think highly of him.
But he’s generally a good person and also has a sharp wit. He may
appear to give useful advice to troubled players.
“Luck’s always been the only thing
I’ve ever had on my side!”
Kazuma Satou
Konosuba TRPG
258
“I’ll be fine!”
Wiz
Gender: Female Age: Forever 20
A beauty with long, wavy brown hair and brown eyes. She current-
ly manages a magic-item shop in Axel Town, but she used to be an
Arch-wizard of incredible skill known as the Ice Witch. With her person-
ality, she will actively listen whenever a player is in need.
Gender: Female Age: 18
A beauty with blond hair and blue eyes. Her class is Crusader. She has
high defense, but her sword skills are a disaster, and almost none of
her blows find their target. Also a massive masochist. For some reason,
she’s well-informed about matters of nobility. She takes things seri-
ously and will never overlook someone in need, so if you consult her
about a problem you’re having, she will be very friendly to you.
“Being a wall is what I’m absolutely best at.”
Darkness
Gender: Female Age: 13
A girl from the Crimson Magic Clan. Her class is Arch-wizard. She loves
explosion magic from the bottom of her heart and never learned any
other spells. Her behavior is truly cringeworthy, but she also knows
quite a lot, so she may lend her knowledge to the players if they lack it.
“I am first among the spell-casters of
the Crimson Magic Clan!”

GMs
are as
gods
!
In other words, this
chapter is all about me!
Don’t lie! What if
someone believed you?!
This actually has rules and
information regarding the
GM and their role.
Konosuba TRPG
260
Before Participating as a GM
This chapter includes techniques meant to help GMs during their ses-
sions, as well as all the data and information they will need to use.
■THE GM’S ROLE
The GM prepares the stage for the adventure on which the players’ av-
atars—the PCs—will act. The GM presents them with dangerous situa-
tions and guides them to a suitable ending. In other words, while the
other players have a passive role in the game, being the GM requires you
to take the initiative at all stages of the session and actively participate.
Outside gameplay, you’ll also need to construct scenarios for the next
session. (This will, of course, mean creating data for all the NPCs and en-
emies who will appear.)
It may seem like a lot of work, but that effort is rewarded tenfold when
the game goes well. Remember that the GM doesn’t only exist to serve
the other players. The GM and other players are equal in that they all
want to have fun playing. The GM is the host player. In other words, a
player who helps the others have a great time. Don’t forget that the GM
is one of the participants who should be enjoying the session.
■THE TRICK TO BEING A GM
The GM’s role is to lead the session and make decisions. They must pre-
pare the session before it even begins, deciding on the scenario’s story,
the characters who will appear, and the stats of all the enemies. They
decide which rules to use throughout the session, apply those rules, and
judge the actions of the player characters. When a session ends, the GM
decides on experience points to be distributed and makes sure to stay
up to date on how the player characters are growing.
The right to direct the game and make judgment calls always lies with
the GM. There is a single trick to carrying all this out smoothly and with-
out mistakes: have confidence. Obviously, there will be times when even
the most experienced GM might be confused. They might even make
mistakes. In your tenure as a GM, you will undoubtedly feel uneasy about
one of your decisions at some point.
How to Be a Game Master
261
Game Master Section
Never fear, however! According to the written rules, the GM’s decisions
are always the correct ones.
The Information a GM Manages
The GM will manage two sets of information during a session of Konosuba
TRPG. The first is NPCs, and the second is traps.
■NPCs
NPCs refers to non-player characters—any characters under the control
of the GM.
TYPES OF NPCs
NPCs can be set up in one of three ways: as a guest, a mob, or an extra.
▼GUESTS
Guests are NPCs who either serve as enemies in the scenario or help in
combat. Generally, they will have roughly the same type of information
as player characters.
▼MOBS
Mobs are 2 to 10 characters treated as a single entity. Use these when
you need a swarm of monsters or a brigade of soldiers, or something
similar. Their information is simpler than that of player characters.
▼EXTRAS
Extras are NPCs who have no data like ability scores or classes. Any NPC
who won’t participate in combat will generally be an extra, from the old
fellow running the store to the receptionists at the Adventurers Guild.
Extras are dealt with verbally by the GM and the players. If a player
states that they’re going to kill an extra, then that extra dies without go-
ing into combat. If a player states that they’ll hold back and knock out
the extra instead, then that’s what will happen.
■ENEMIES
Enemies are the specific NPCs who fight against the players. Guest en-
emies are called solo enemies, and groups of them are called mob ene-
mies. For details, see page 270.
■TRAPS
While things like treasure chests and doors are considered objects, the
traps laid out in dungeons and the like are their own separate category.
For details, see page 286.
This section will also explain how to handle trap detection and sense
Konosuba TRPG
262
threat. Both of them are used when determining whether someone no-
tices a trap. However, each is used in a different situation, and they’re
processed quite differently.
DETECTING TRAPS
Trap detection is an action that PCs initiate to spot traps, and it is effec-
tive on detectable traps.
When performing trap detection, the player must indicate their target
(like a treasure chest, from the previous example), after which they must
engage the target directly. Because of this, a player can’t use trap de-
tection on entire rooms, or vague targets like all the walls in a structure.
If any character who does not have Trap Detection Skill fails a trap de-
tection check, the trap will trigger, so caution is advised.
SENSING THREATS
Sense threat is a check that a PC might passively make to spot perceiv-
able traps—ones that can be sensed rather than directly sighted. Players
cannot actively search for these types of traps as they can with trap de-
tection. They can’t, for example, examine every inch of the floor while ex-
ploring a dungeon. However, in places where key points are suspicious,
the PCs—who are adventurers—would likely notice something is odd.
Sense threat checks are for simulating this type of situation. That’s why
a player can’t use sense threat of their own volition. Instead, when a PC
comes into contact with a trap that can be sensed, the GM tells them to
perform a sense threat check.
In addition, if a player fails a Trap Disarm check, the trap will trigger no
matter what, so caution is advised.
Sense threat checks are also used to perceive various other kinds of
hazards, such as an unnatural air about something or danger approach-
ing. If such a situation occurs, the GM may use a sense threat check for it.
How to Make a Scenario
A scenario is essential to play Konosuba TRPG. This section will explain
exactly how to go about making one.
■GENERAL ADVENTURE SCENARIOS
The basic scenario setup in Konosuba TRPG is described below.
•In the Opening Phase, PCs take on the roles of adventurers and accept
a quest
263
Game Master Section
•In the Middle Phase, they go to the quest location
•In the Climax Phase, they defeat the enemies who are the target of
the quest, or they resolve any obstacles barring them from acquiring
the item needed for the quest
•The Ending Phase depicts the end of the adventure
In general, the two things a GM needs to think up are a quest for the
player characters to undertake and enemies (including a boss) for them
to defeat for that quest.
■QUESTS
A quest is an appeal made of the player-character adventurers that asks
them to slay enemies, collect items, etc. By completing a quest, the PCs
will earn rewards (in eris).
The basic goal of the session is for the PCs to complete this job and
receive their rewards.
Quests come about when people are troubled by something and
want the Adventurers Guild to help them. The Adventurers Guild itself
sometimes puts out quests as well.
QUEST DATA
your session or use them as a reference to create your own.
DESIGNING QUEST REWARDS
When creating your own quest, the rewards should be given special con-
sideration.
We recommend that the reward be enough for each PC to afford pay-
ing the fees for a simple Lifestyle.
The recommended formula for calculating rewards is:
[Average Character Level of all PCs Who Participated × 10] KE
This formula is based on a quest where the items picked up in the
dungeon and items dropped by enemies are all a bonus that the PCs can
keep, minus whatever they need to make their Lifestyle payment.
The formula is purely for reference. The GM should feel free to set the
reward to whatever seems suitable for the mood of the session.
And if there won’t be any enemies or items to pick up during the
Konosuba TRPG
264
quest, we recommend making the quest’s reward higher.
MIDDLE PHASE ABRIDGMENT
If nothing in particular will happen until reaching the quest location, you
may also abridge the Middle Phase of the session.
In other words, you can play a scenario that doesn’t have a Middle
Phase at all.
■CHANGES IN SCENARIOS
When creating a scenario, some GMs may find sessions that only involve
completing a quest to be lacking.
If you decide to make a scenario with more volume, for purposes such
as having the story change partway through the quest, you can cause
other events to occur at the quest location, for example. This creates an-
other, separate quest partway through the Middle Phase.
However, when putting together developments like these, you should
make sure to say as much in the preview. You can, however, leave it as a
simple implication, something to give the players a hint, instead of spell-
ing out exactly what will happen.
■CREATING HIGH-LEVEL PLAYER CHARACTERS
This section introduces how to go about creating player characters who
are above CL 1. The GM should refer to this section when players create
advanced-class characters, like Megumin or Darkness from the original
novels. However, this method is purely a suggestion. The GM may use
some other method if they wish. Ultimately, the GM has the final say.
▼DECIDING ON EXPERIENCE POINTS
Players need experience points to put together their higher-level char-
acters. To do this, the GM needs to designate a maximum amount of ex-
perience points they can use. The players will confirm how many experi-
ence points they have, and then each will use the exact same number of
points to strengthen their character.
When making characters who will only last for a single session, you
can also give the players experience points as a gift and let them have
their characters grow on their own.
▼ITEMS AND MONEY
High-level PCs will likely be adventurers who have already completed
many quests. They will usually possess a greater variety of items and
more money on hand than freshly created PCs. Use the formula below
265
Game Master Section
to determine how much money in total the characters will have among
themselves, then let the players use that money to purchase items.
Total Money on Hand = CL (Character Level) × CL × 300
Konosuba TRPG
266

Enemies and Enemy Skills
Enemy is a catchall term for any characters hostile to the players. In Ko-
nosuba TRPG, this includes the monsters inhabiting the dungeons and
areas outside the town, as well as vegetables cultivated in fields. Enemies
may also be demons or demi-humans who are part of the Demon King’s
forces.
This section will explain all about enemies.
■ENEMY TYPES
Enemies are NPCs. Thus, they are also classified into three groups as de-
scribed on page 261: guests, mobs, and extras. Guest enemies are called
solo enemies. Extras who are enemies are used purely for role-play and
need no data backing them up.
■ENEMY LIST
Solo enemies have nearly all the same information as player characters,
while mob enemies are more simplified. Solo enemies are listed on pag-
read the enemy listings, see page 271.
MOB ENEMIES
Mob enemies don’t have ability scores. When they need to make checks,
simply use the value listed in the Check section. The number before the
slash (“/”) is for their own basic-check or active-check actions, and the
one after it is for when they make reactions in opposition checks. Add
2d6 to this number to find their total check score.
•Aside from skills, items, and cheats, mob enemies cannot perform
protection (page 232)
•Mob enemies do not have a max MP value. If one has learned a skill
that requires a cost, treat that cost as 0.
Enemy Rules

Game Master Section
This page explains how to read the enemy listings.
Any “−” in a section means that section is meaning-
less, and for those that say See Effect, the section is
explained in full in the Description section of the
listing.
Describing Dice Rolls
Certain checks and damage rolls in the enemy
listings will read 2d6+1 or the like. This means to
roll two six-sided dice and then add 1 to the total.
Reading the Lists
This section explains how to read the enemy list-
ings.
▼Name
The enemy’s name.
▼Type
The enemy’s type.
▼Element
The enemy’s element.
▼Level
The enemy’s level, which is a guidepost for their
strength. Also called EL. If a skill, etc. refers to CL,
refer to the EL instead.
▼ID Score
The difficulty level of enemy-identification checks
(page 237) against the enemy.
▼Check
Only listed for mob enemies. The value before
the slash (“/”) is the check value for major action
checks, while the value after it is the check value
for reaction checks.
▼Ability score
Only listed for solo enemies. The value before the
slash (“/”) is the enemy’s base ability score, and
the value after it is the enemy’s ability score. Their
meaning and roles are the same as that of player
characters.
▼Attack
Attacks the enemy may perform. When there are
multiple attack methods, the entry will contain up
to two of them.
In the case of weapon attacks, it will read Weap-
on Used for Attack (Weapon Type / Equip Slot) and
Hit Check / Damage / Attack Method and Damage
Type / Range. If it’s a skill-based attack, it will read
Skill Name and Level Used for Attack and Hit Check /
Damage / Attack Method and Damage Type / Range.
Sometimes, things that aren’t weapons are listed
as weapons used for the attack, such as claws or
fangs, but these are treated the same way as bare-
handed attacks (page 184).
In addition, weapon names are used to indicate
things like the form or shape of the weapon
equipped, and they don’t necessarily match up
with the weapons that player characters use in
terms of numbers.
▼Dodge
The enemy’s dodge check.
▼Defense
The enemy’s defense. The value before the slash
(“/”) is the enemy’s Physical Defense, and the value
after it is their Magic Defense.
▼HP
The enemy’s maximum HP.
▼MP
The enemy’s maximum MP.
▼Action
The enemy’s Action Points.
▼Move
The enemy’s movement. If it reads “−,” it cannot
move.
▼Enemy skills
Skills the enemy possesses. It will list the skill’s
name and level, while including a page reference
for the effect.
▼Description
A description of the enemy’s biology, external fea-
tures, habitat, combat methods, etc.
▼Loot
Items that can be gained by defeating the ene-
my. See the Rolling to Determine Loot section on

this will be well-prepared with handling these

The Traps Decorating Your Adventure
This section will describe the traps that interfere with the player charac-
ters’ quests, sometimes mortally, as well as the objects and partitions that
make up dungeons, such as walls, floors, and treasure chests.
■TYPES OF TRAPS
There are three types of traps: triggered traps, enchanted traps, and con-
tinuous traps.
▼TRIGGERED TRAPS
Traps that spring when a character takes an action, such as opening a
door, unlocking a lock, or stepping on the floor. Unless otherwise stat-
ed, the GM can freely decide on the conditions. Triggered traps can be
placed on objects, enemies, partitions, and other traps.
Once the trap is sprung, that trap normally will not activate again.
Triggered traps can be set up in one of two ways: detectable and per-
ceivable. The GM should decide which when setting up the trap. See
In general, detectable traps spring when a character takes a specific
action, while perceivable traps go off when a character comes into con-
tact with the spot where the trap is set—such as stepping on a specific
floor tile or entering an area. If a character comes into contact with a
perceivable trap, their movement automatically ends on the spot.
▼ENCHANTED TRAPS
Traps that place an effect on an object or another trap. They will keep
triggering until disarmed. Enchanted traps can be placed on objects, en-
emies, and other traps.
▼CONTINUOUS TRAPS
Traps that have a continuous effect for as long as a character is in contact
with it. These include things that block characters from taking actions
or deal damage to them. Continuous traps can be placed on partitions.
■OBJECTS AND PARTITIONS
An object is any item that might be inside a dungeon, such as a door,
Traps and Objects

Game Master Section
treasure chest, or statue. A partition includes things like walls or floors
in dungeons.
CUSTOMIZING TRAPS
Any traps with a “〇” in the Customize section can be changed at will.
Customized traps raise the trap’s level beyond what it starts out as.
For level changes when customizing traps, refer to the Trap Customi-
zation Table.

This page explains how to read the trap list.
Whenever a section contains a “−,” that section
is meaningless. For those that say See Effect, that
section is explained further in the Effect section of
each listing.
Common Sections
This section explains the information common to
all traps, objects, and partitions.
1Name
The name of the trap, object, or partition.
2Type
Whether it’s a trap, object, or partition.
•Trap
A trap laid in a dungeon, such as a pitfall or an ex-
ploding floor.
•Object
Objects in dungeons that are not traps, like doors
or tables.
•Partition
Things that divide a dungeon up, such as walls,
floors, and ceilings. Partitions cannot be destroyed
or moved. They will also never move on their own.
3Structure
The structure or mechanism of the trap, object, or
partition.
Physical means things like ropes or gears are used,
while Magical means they activate based on
magic.
4Level
The level of the trap. Objects and partitions gener-
ally have a “−” for this.
5Customize
Whether or not the trap, object, or partition can be
customized. “〇” means it can be, while “x” means
it cannot be.
6Effect
The effect of the trap, object, or partition.
•Secret
Traps, objects, or partitions that cannot be seen
through normal means, such as hidden doors or
ones currently in a hidden state. Most traps are
placed in such a way as to be difficult to locate, so
they will normally be secret.
Trap List Sections
This section explains sections that only exist for
traps.
7Condition
The conditions to spring the trap. There are three
conditions: triggered, enchanted, and continuous.
See page 286.
8Detect value
The difficulty level for detecting traps (page 236)
or sensing threats (page 236).
9Disarm value
The difficulty level for disarming the trap (page
236).
PTarget
The target of the trap’s effects. In general, these
work the same as skills (page 122). When a trap
springs, it may choose several targets. For exam-
ple, it may say Target: Single and Range: Close, and
if three characters are in the same Engagement as
the trap, it will select one of them. The GM should
decide at random in these cases. If you’re unsure, it
is recommended that the GM choose the charac-
ter who activated the trap.
The following additional target types also exist for
traps.
•Activator
Whoever activated the trap becomes the target.
•Contact
The character who stepped on or otherwise came
into contact with the trap becomes the target.
•Fixed
Indicates the target of a different trap or object.
{Range
The range of the trap’s effects. This is the distance
from the trap. If it says Close, the trap’s Engage-
ment is the target.

Story
Axel—known as the town of fledgling adventurers, the Town of Begin-
nings. The player characters, all fledgling adventurers, will accept a spe-
cial mission from a receptionist named Luna (page 253).
Their goal: to harvest bamboo shoots. However, these are no ordinary
plants, for they move on their own (more accurately, blast around like
rockets). However, when the bamboo shoots start moving around and
maturing into full bamboo stalks, they experience a rapid loss of flavor.
The best-tasting bamboo shoots (and the ones that give the most ex-
perience points) are the ones still in the ground, right before they fire
off. Under the guidance of one Okina, famed for his bamboo shoot–
digging skills for forty years, the fledgling adventurers head off to har-
vest the shoots. The densely grown bamboo forest has become a natural
dungeon, and inside are traps that Okina has set up. (Even he doesn’t
remember where the traps are.) As the players move through the bam-
boo forest, cautious of said traps, they find that goblins have come in
here, looking for the same thing they are. The players proceed through
the forest and arrive at the bamboo-shoot colony specified by Okina.
There, they encounter goblins in the middle of digging the plants up to
steal them. A battle ensues, with the players fighting the goblins while
harvesting the bamboo shoots. At the end of the skirmish, the players’
rewards are determined, and the scenario ends.
■PREVIEW
The first thing to do at the beginning of the session is read out the fol-
lowing preview to the players.

tually geared toward said fledgling adventurers. Upon receiving several
complaints to that effect, the Adventurers Guild has decided to, among
their usual requests, render a special service in the form of a quest they
believe is suited to fledgling adventurers: digging up bamboo shoots.
In this world, though, ripe, tasty vegetables move around on their own,
and bamboo shoots are no exception. Under the guidance of Okina, a
forty-year veteran in the bamboo business, the novice adventurers head
off to pick some shoots.

■CHARACTER CREATION
Character creation is described below.
QUICK START
The following sample characters can be used for this scenario. If there
are only four players, don’t use PC #5. If there are three players, use PC #1,
PC #3, and PC #5.
PC #1: Great Sword Warrior (page 102)
PC #2: Crimson Wizard (page 104)
PC #3: Compassionate Priest (page 106)
PC #4: Explorer Thief (page 108)
PC #5: Reincarnated Adventurer (page 100)
CONSTRUCTION
If making characters from scratch, the Warrior, Wizard, Priest, or Thief
classes are recommended. If there’s only three players, then ideally, one
should choose Adventurer to make up for the classes that aren’t brought
along.
LIFESTYLES
After creating characters, the players should determine their characters’
Lifestyles (page 210).
FORMING THE PARTY
All player characters have already formed a party. You may explain this
before character creation. See page 211.

Opening Phase
SCENE 1: AT THE ADVENTURERS GUILD
◆EXPLANATION
At the Adventurers Guild, the player characters are provided with the
Bamboo-Shoot Digging quest, meant for fledgling adventurers.
The quest information is as follows.
Bamboo-Shoot Digging
Type: Gathering Time Limit: Until the next morning
Rewards: 10 KE per player character
Requirements: None
Description: “Okina, a forty-year veteran in the business, wants
you to pick shoots in the bamboo forest.”
Harvest shoots in place of Okina, a famous bamboo-shoot digger
who has thrown out his hip, at the bamboo forest only he knows
about.
Clear Conditions: Dig for bamboo shoots two clearings deep into
the secret bamboo forest.
Quest Effects: The rewards for this quest increase based on how
many bamboo shoots you gather. The added amount is 150 KE
for each high-quality bamboo shoot and 20 KE for each nor-
mal-quality one.
All the player characters can make an enemy-identification check
(page 236) regarding bamboo shoots. The difficulty level is 10. If anyone
succeeds, give the following two pieces of information:
•When bamboo shoots get up and start moving during the harvest,
they become an enemy called Raging Bamboo Shoots. When they be-
come Raging Bamboo Shoots, they lose their flavor and are counted
as normal-quality ones
•All other information pertaining to Raging Bamboo Shoots that can
be acquired with enemy identification
▼DEPICTION
There are no quests hung up at the Adventurers Guild asking for low-level
adventurers. Either they’re geared for high-level ones or are basically
part-time jobs for manual labor. Not a single request exists for a fledgling
297
Scenario Section
adventurer.
Unwilling to let your party leave empty-handed, Luna addresses you
with her usual lively smile.
“I’ve been holding on to a job I think suits you all well. Are you inter-
ested?”
You should probably hear her out.
▼LINES: LUNA
“The quest I’d like you to take on is for digging up bamboo shoots.” (pres-
ent the quest details)
“The final rewards for this quest will be based on the number and
quality of bamboo shoots you dig up. In other words, the more of them
you pick, the more you’ll be paid.
“Unlike cabbages and carrots, bamboo shoots lose their flavor once
they start moving, so we harvest them right before that. Okina is famous
for being able to tell exactly when that is.
“The bamboo shoots in Okina’s secret forest are high in quality, and the
best sell for at least 150 KE each.”
◆CONCLUSION
Once the players accept the quest, the Scene ends. If the players do not
accept the quest, the scenario ends, and you move to After Play.
Middle Phase
SCENE 2: OKINA THE BAMBOO-SHOOT DIGGER
◆EXPLANATION
The adventurers assemble in front of the Guild at three in the morning.
There, Luna introduces them to Okina. Because the location of his bam-
boo forest is a secret, he requests that you all be blindfolded and put into
a carriage to be ferried there.
▼DEPICTION
Very early in the morning, at 3 am, you assemble in front of the Adventur-
ers Guild. A carriage pulled by four horses is parked there.
Luna introduces you all to the old man sitting in the driver’s box and
holding the reins.
“This is the one who put in the request—Mr. Okina, the famous
bamboo-shoot digger.”
The elderly fellow, who looks to be in his late sixties, smiles warmly as
he rubs his hip.
Konosuba TRPG

▼LINES: LUNA
“Thank you, Mr. Okina.” (leaves)
▼LINES: OKINA
“I apologize for calling you so early in the morning. But shoots need to be
harvested in the early hours.
“I’ll bring you there in this carriage. Please get on.
“You’ll also need to wear blindfolds.”
(when the player characters have boarded the carriage) “Let’s set off,
then!”
◆CONCLUSION
Once the players have boarded the carriage and set off, the Scene ends.
SCENE 3: DIGGING FOR BAMBOO SHOOTS
◆EXPLANATION
In transit, Okina explains how to dig up bamboo shoots. Even if a player
character removes their blindfold, it’s pitch-black outside, and nothing
can be seen.
•Once there, Okina lends everyone a special basket and shovel for dig-
ging up the bamboo shoots
•The players harvest the bamboo shoots that haven’t begun to move
around yet. They may gather ones that are starting to twitch. Once
placed in a special basket, they will stop moving
•As a point of caution, Okina has laid traps in the bamboo forest. How-
ever, he adds more traps every year, so he doesn’t remember where or
how he laid them around
▼DEPICTION
The carriage bumps and clatters. Since you’re all novice bamboo-shoot
pickers, Okina explains the secrets of the art.
▼LINES: OKINA
“You need only use the baskets and shovels I’ll lend you, and it will be
easy.
“Both the baskets and the shovels are made to put the bamboo shoots
to sleep. Once you dig one up, they won’t move anymore.
“A while back, I thought to set up a hands-on farming attraction, but
299
Scenario Section
it was too early in the morning for any customers to visit, so I gave up.”
(about the trick to digging) “The most important thing is not to lay a
hand on the bamboo shoots that are already moving. You run the risk of
being attacked. Plus, they don’t taste all that good at that point.
“You can eat freshly harvested ones raw, so if you get a lot, feel free to
try one.”
◆CONCLUSION
Once the conversation with Okina is finished, everyone arrives at the
bamboo forest, and the Scene ends.
SCENE 4: EXPLORING THE BAMBOO FOREST
◆EXPLANATION
In this Scene, everyone reaches the front of Okina’s secret bamboo forest.
Okina lends the player characters the special baskets and special shov-
els for digging up bamboo shoots. Each of these is an item with a weight
of 1, and they can be placed in the inventory.
However, to use a shovel, the player must have a free hand. (Either the
right-hand slot or the left-hand slot must be empty.)
▼DEPICTION
Before you stands a dense grove of bamboo. Okina will wait here for
your return. There are just enough shovels and baskets for every party
member to take one of each.
▼LINES: OKINA
“All right, then. Take these shovels and baskets with you. Any bamboo
shoot you dig up should immediately go into a basket.
“Follow the dirt trail through the forest. Oh, and be careful of traps on
the way—I put them there to ward off monsters. Keep to the path, and
you’ll come upon a clearing before too long.
“I made that so the bamboo shoots would have an easier time grow-
ing.
“If you see any little bumps in the ground or hear any intermittent hiss-
ing noises coming from underfoot, that’s where to look—dig right away.
If you take too long, the shoots will start moving around.”
◆CONCLUSION
Once the player characters enter the bamboo forest, the Scene ends. The
next Scenes will be Dungeon Scenes.
Konosuba TRPG

■ABOUT THE DUNGEON
From this point on, Scenes are Dungeon Scenes (page 214). Each time
players move to a new Area, the Scene will change. Once an event oc-
curs and resolves in an Area, that event will not happen again. This dun-
geon has a simple layout, where players progress through four distinct
Areas in a straight line.
Upon entering Area 4, the Climax Phase will begin.
If the player characters exit the dungeon before reaching Area 4 (and
the Climax Phase) or fail to complete the quest by sunup, the scenario
will end. Go to After Play.
AREA 1: ENTRANCE TO THE BAMBOO FOREST
◆EXPLANATION
The trail leads deeper into the forest. Typically, it is a well-maintained
path, but goblins have ruined it.
There is a hole, which used to be a pitfall trap, that a goblin has fallen
into and died in.
If the player characters decide to look into the hole, they’ll be able to
see the goblin lying on its side at the bottom. Bamboo has been stuck in
the pit, which seems a little murderous for a simple trap meant to keep
animals away.
Any character who sees the goblin may perform enemy identification
on it.
Right next to that pitfall is another one, which is perceivable. If a player
character tries to go around the hole, they’ll make a Sense Threats (page
236) check of difficulty 12. If they succeed, they’ll notice the pitfall there
and be able to get past without triggering it. The other player characters
may then ignore the trap and move past it. If a character fails the sense
threats check, the pitfall triggers with them as the target.
If the player characters try to jump over the hole with the goblin in
it, they’ll need to pass a Jump (page 236) check of difficulty level 10. If
they succeed, they’ll be able to venture farther into the forest without
triggering the pitfall.
Once the player characters move on, go to Area 2. The goblins ahead
jumped over the hole. There are too many tracks for the players to get a
good guess as to their numbers.
301
Scenario Section
▼DEPICTION
What looked like a massive thicket of only dense, overgrown bamboo at
first quickly becomes a well-tended area matted with manicured grass. It
is obvious that Okina has been taking excellent care of this place.
Yet as you continue along the path, the ground begins to look tram-
pled, and you spot a large hole. It looks like the aftermath of a trap that
went off.
AREA 2: FIRST HARVEST
◆EXPLANATION
This is a clearing where players can dig for bamboo shoots.
In this Area, players will conduct their digging using the individual
combat process (page 218). A number of bamboo shoots equal to the
number of player characters will appear here.
At the beginning of the Setup Process, each player character makes
a Perception check of DL 12. Upon success, that character will discover
one high-quality bamboo shoot. The character who discovered it rolls
1d6, and that bamboo shoot is placed onto the combat map as de-
scribed in the Bamboo Shoot Appearance Table.
Any player character who has Engaged a high-quality bamboo shoot

in their Main Process may use a major action to dig the bamboo shoot
up. However, to do this, they must be carrying the special shovel and
have either their right-hand or left-hand slot vacant.
A player character who digs for a bamboo shoot makes a Luck check
of DL 10. Upon success, that character obtains a high-quality bamboo
shoot (weight 1). Upon failure, they are unable to harvest the bamboo
shoot, and the high-quality bamboo shoot becomes an enemy Raging
Bamboo Shoot. This Raging Bamboo Shoot comes into combat spent
and can act starting in the next round.
During the Cleanup Process, change all the bamboo shoots that
weren’t placed on the map into Raging Bamboo Shoot enemies and
place them on the map. The GM should roll a 1d6 to determine where
on the combat map to place it. These Raging Bamboo Shoots can act
starting in the next round.
From the second round on, combat lasts until the Raging Bamboo
Shoots are all gone.
Raging Bamboo Shoots can attack with Explode and Disperse during a
player character’s Main Process, even before the Raging Bamboo Shoot’s
Main Process. If there are several characters to choose from, the GM
should decide an attack target at random. If there is no target for attack,
the Raging Bamboo Shoot will use Takeoff and exit the Scene.
In addition, any Raging Bamboo Shoots that have used Explode and
Disperse, as well as any that have exited the Scene, will not drop loot.
Any Raging Bamboo Shoot that hasn’t used Explode and Disperse yet
will drop loot from their table as normal.
After combat, when the players head deeper in, go to Area 3. The gob-
lins ahead of you didn’t notice the bamboo shoots in Area 2 and kept
moving.
See the Ending Phase section for what to do if someone eats a bam-
boo shoot.
▼DEPICTION
As you travel deeper into the bamboo forest, you come to a clearing. You
hear a faint, sporadic hissing like steam escaping from nearby, as well as
the rustling of the underbrush. It seems there are bamboo shoots grow-
ing here. The time for the harvest has come.
AREA 3: TRAPS IN THE BAMBOO FOREST
303
Scenario Section
◆EXPLANATION
On the path leading to the
bamboo forest’s depths, there is
an apple placed (it uses the in-
formation for Fruit, page 193).
A detectable spike-board
trap has been set on this apple,
and picking the apple up will
spring the trap. Any character
who engages with the fruit must
make a trap detection check
(page 236) of DL 15. Succeed-
ing will allow them to notice the
trap.
If they can disarm the trap,
they can pick up the apple just
by saying so.
If they head farther in, move to Area 4 (the Climax Phase). The goblins
were suspicious of the apple, so they ignored it and continued to Area 4.
▼DEPICTION
As you venture deeper into the bamboo forest, you come back to a trail
that looks the same as before. A closer glance reveals a single fruit sitting
on the path.
Climax Phase
AREA 4: BAMBOO-SHOOT COLONY
◆EXPLANATION
The players arrive at another bamboo-shoot colony. The goblins that got
here first try to attack the player characters, but Raging Bamboo Shoots
attack and defeat one of them.
Begin combat. The enemies consist of one Goblin Leader (page 281)
and a number of goblins (page 276) equal to the number of player char-
acters minus one.
Handle bamboo-shoot appearances the same way as in Area 2. The
only difference is that bamboo shoots will appear in round 2 as well. The
number of shoots that appear in each round is equal to the number of
player characters.

The Goblin Leader and goblins will prioritize player characters for their
attacks and will not go out of their way to dig up bamboo shoots (they
can’t anyway, since they don’t have the special tools).
Like in Area 2, the bamboo shoots can either target a character cur-
rently performing their Main Process with Explode and Disperse, or they
can exit the Scene using Takeoff. If the GM wishes, they may choose gob-
lins as their attack targets.
▼DEPICTION
You reach the deepest part of the bamboo forest and are greeted by
another clearing. The goblins that have been stomping along the path
ahead of you spot the party, and they growl intimidatingly. You also hear
sporadic hissing from nearby—and then an explosion! One of the gob-
lins shrieks and falls over.
Dispersing, the bamboo shoot’s skin flies all over. Evidently, the plants
are just as raring to go.

SCENE 5: THE BAMBOO
SHOOTS’ VALUE
◆EXPLANATION
Okina greets the player characters
once they get out of the bamboo
forest. They’re blindfolded again
and taken back to Axel.
On the way back, Okina asks if any
of the player characters would like
to eat a bamboo shoot. If so, expend
one harvested bamboo shoot per
player character.
If a player character eats a bam-
boo shoot, they will be able to taste
a fresh bamboo shoot that has zero
astringency. The differences in fla-
vors depend on the shoot’s quality:
•High-quality bamboo shoot: The
taste is so amazingly delicious
that any who partake of it are at a
loss for words
•Normal-quality bamboo shoot:
You’re surprised by the flavor the
moment you put it in your mouth
After this, the player characters
gain experience during After Play.
See the After Play section for more
details. Eating the bamboo shoots
at any point after this Scene will not
reward the players with experience
points, as the plants will have lost
their freshness.
▼DEPICTION
Okina is overjoyed to see you
leaving the bamboo forest.

◆EXPLANATION
Liquidate the bamboo shoots at the Adventurers Guild. Bonus rewards
for harvested bamboo shoots are listed below:

•Normal-quality bamboo shoot: 20 KE per shoot
▼DEPICTION
Early that morning at the Adventurers Guild, you place the fresh bamboo
shoots on the counter in front of Luna. Next to you, a professional veg-
etable appraiser and a broker check the crops you’ve brought, sorting
them into two boxes—good and excellent.

Introduction
Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
TRPG is a tabletop role-playing game set in the
world of the novel series Konosuba: God’s Blessing
on This Wonderful World!. You take on the role of an
adventurer living in that wonderful world and go
on many quests.
Rules Summary
■Checks
•Checks are calculated by rolling 2d6 (two six-
sided dice) and adding your relevant ability score
to it. If this total equals or exceeds the difficulty lev-
el, you pass the check. Some things, like skills, will
change the number of dice you roll
•When you roll at least 2 sixes on a check, it is called
a critical, and the check automatically succeeds
•If you roll all ones, it is called a fumble, and the
check automatically fails
■Combat
Main Process
The order of a Main Process is: move action, minor
action, major action.
Types of Movement
•Combat movement. Move (Movement) meters
•Full movement. Move (Movement+5) meters.
Cannot use a minor action
•Withdrawal. Leave an Engagement with an en-
emy character. Move (Movement) meters (maxi-
mum of five meters). Cannot use a minor action
■Using Blessings
Blessings are the power the player characters
have hidden within that allow them to overwrite
destiny.
•Add dice: Before one of your dice rolls, you can
add 1 die to it for each Blessing point you spend
(to a maximum of your Luck)
•Reroll a check: Right after making a check, you
can spend 1 Blessing point to reroll that check. You
may only reroll once per check
