Lonely Hearts Home for the Elderly - A One Page Role-playing Game About Old Romantics

The Game

Lonely Hearts Home for the Elderly is a game in which you assume the character of an old person at a retirement home. It’s a romance!

What I Like About This One:

One of my favorite things to do in other role-playing games is establish relationship roles. Like, even in D&D I’ll have people pick a best friend and a rival in the group and provide small mechanical benefits to those roles, because I think that sort of thing helps role-playing. Making it into a specific rule felt right.

I also love games with secret win conditions

What I’d Do Differently Next Time:

Mostly in the formatting on this one. Tried something different and holy hell did it not work. Lil dude’s just floating off the end of the page there.

Get it on Gumroad!

Get it on Itch!
