A "game poem", or "role-playing poem" is a little game that you can pick up and play in fifteen minutes or so. There's no preparation time, nothing to get between you and immediate fun. Game poems usually address some specific mood or emotion, or focus on one particular theme. First and foremost, a game poem is just there to be taken in and experienced with a friend or group of friends for a few moments, and hopefully, something small and wonderful will happen in the process. |

This is slightly meatier than a nano-game but you should still be able to complete it within 2-3 hours with around 5 or 6 players; it takes an amount of preparation and world-burning though, so make sure your players are up for that kind of activity.

Tiny d10 is a unique d10 system for creating fast and complete role-playing experiences. Everything about the game is built to be quick, flexible, and extensible. Some of its noteworthy features include a simple resolution mechanic that requires only a single d10, a complete game engine flexible enough to adapt to most RPG settings, and a miniaturized core rule book complete with a minimalist character sheet.

A storygame in which absolutely everything is made up by the players, there is no GM, dominos are involved, there's scoring, and for some reason everyone is related to this troubled woman called Rose.

In the Mind of Margaret you’ll explore the life of a single person through the various emotions that make up their personality. Think the 90s sitcom "Herman’s Head" or the Disney/Pixar film "Inside Out". During the game you’ll establish various dilemmas for this person, explore their internal psyche as it tries to decide how to respond in order to achieve their goals, and observe how the results of that response further affects the person and their psyche. |

A collaborative Storygame. Over the course of an hour or two, you and your friends will construct a narrative about a Community of heroic (or delusional) isolationists, who construct for themselves an entrenched bastion against (what they perceive to be) the hostile forces of the outer world. |

A game of competitive boasting, based on the exploits of the titular C18th adventurer and raconteur. Players portray nobles and challenge each other to recount an extraordinary story from their past. Dice and pencils are replaced by money and fine wine, a simple bidding system allows for interruptions and rebuttals, and it all wraps up in under an hour. The rulebook was ostensibly written by the Baron himself, with his unique and charming style. |
