Three years ago, I made the genesis of EMPLOYEE. As a one-page RPG, it was an achievement for me. I create something that I made on my own. I took time to read Tunnel Goons, I watched several videos on youtube about the mechanism on ttrpg, I even try to understand Dungeons and Dragons first edition by watching videos not by playing it.

I still had that cover-less writing book that I used to brainstorming EMPLOYEE - in between meetings, or lunch breaks. I create EMPLOYEE based on what I observed at my office. The Performance level, true story. The (IN)Sanity level, ANOTHER TRUE STORY (and there's a one major event at the office THAT INSPIRE ME to create the (IN)Sanity point). The Ready-to-Work list, some are true, some are not obviously. Remember : the work is fiction.

Initially I want to make this v2.0 as an SRD - a rule book of EMPLOYEE. But I think it was too ambitious, yet too simple and to minimal as an SRD. Hence I drop the title and change it into a working adventure. But in my heart, EMPLOYEE should be an SRD.

In this three years, I play tested it with total player of 5 : my wife, my in-law, three of my office's partner that I could call it friends. Total sessions made are 3 : 1 for my wife and in-law, 2 for the friendos (well, to be honest, the second session was only for 1 person not three of them, and she had the most progress on the story and whatsoever). And I lack of documentation of it, so there's a small chance that I can revise and review what went unfit or need overhaul. The discord server that I provided for them, already covered in dusts and cobwebs.

Also until now, I haven't found any tracks of someone played EMPLOYEE. Maybe it's my fault too that I'm not showing to the world how to play it. I guess it's another task to do : creating a mini solo play by me, for you.

I don't want to make EMPLOYEE vanished at this current state - filled with ambiguity, unclear method of games, no ends. I want to all of those people who downloaded this document, can use it. At least played it once in their life time. Hence, I'm trying to do some overhauling. Right now, I re-reading the material and doing some solo playing. Revision will be made, and I'll make sure for the v3.0 will be playable for everyone who wanted to play it.

Thank you, see you

(p.s. based on playtesting with one of my office friends (aka co-worker), it might become a good assessment tools for THE REAL employee)
