For a long time, our monstrous home was occupied by invading humans. Now, finally, we’ve driven them off, and we’re left with this: a year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to dismantle their settlements and reclaim our lands. Come Winter, a band of heroes will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when the game will end. But we don’t know about that yet. |

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 one-page "superlite" solo microRPG that replicates the kind of horror movie where an ensemble cast of skilled but flawed people are trapped in a dark place with a terrifying threat waiting to snatch them at any moment. There’s plenty of intrigue, dark secrets, and broken relationships to keep things interesting. It’s fast, cyclic, and incredibly lethal; your pool of actors essentially serves as hit points. So don’t get too attached!

A tiny, folded storytelling game. You portray a martial artist come to compete in the greatest tournament ever held. But what are your real goals? Not everyone is simply here to win! Pull up a seat at the breakfast table and find out what your fellow martial artists are really competing for. Honor? Respect? Revenge? You'll find out soon enough, grasshopper. |

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.

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.
