One-Page RPGs
Kris likes to design little one-page RPGs.
Are they good? Sometimes. A lot of these Kris put together during a ‘publish 1 one-page rpg per day’ sprint, so they’re rushed, for sure.
Are they free? You can pay us for one if you want, or join the Patreon if you’d like to support what we do more generally, but you don’t have to. They’re all released on a pay-what-you-can model.
Why do they, uh… Look like that? Kris started with hand-drawn and hand-written games. He feels like it helps make it really clear these aren’t AI slop. These are Grade-A human-made slop!
Accounts Receivable - A One-page RPG
The Game: You are office workers at the end of the world with a responsibility to get the last invoice delivered to your client.
What I Like About This One
There is something uniquely hilarious to me about continuing to Do Your Job even when doing so is patently ridiculous. I have this idea that’s percolating about how participation in corporations is, in fact, a game, and that to do so you need to suspend the aims of real life to care about the goals of The Game, similar to Huizinga’s “Magic Circle” in gaming, because I cannot personally fathom how anyone actually gives a shit about the company’s EBITDA if that is not the case.
I love the idea of a rolling system based on the Fibonacci Sequence for a game about people who do math for a living.
What I'd Do Differently
The space-handling on this one is a little better, but I wrote straight-up to the margins on it and there’s some spots where the scan cuts off.
Notes
It's pay-what-you-want on GumRoad. If you'd like to throw me a dollar for the ink, that'd be awesome! If you want it for free, just put $0 in the 'name a fair price' section. Either way, please enjoy this stupid little game I made and I'll see y'all tomorrow for the next one!
Goose Union - A One-page RPG
Goose Union is the first one-page RPG I put together for my November Write a Game a Day project. NaWriGaDa? Nah, that’s dumb.
The Game: You are goosedeses. Geeses. Gooses. You've unionized and your demands are simple! More bread! All the humans out! MOAR BREAD.
What I Like About This One
It's a silly concept and a super basic execution. I think it was good to get the juices flowing, but they're gonna get weirder/better from here on out, I think/hope.
What I'd Do Differently
I don't like how I've handled the space in this one at all. My handwriting is kind of awful. And I wish I'd hammered the union theme a bit more. It's a whole lotta gooses and little bit of union.
Notes
Mostly just wanted to do Untitled Goose Game as a dumb one-pager, so uh... Here we go.
