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. |

|
A Game of Unwitting Spies Tempted by Easy Money. Deniable is a storygame that takes inspiration from those wickedly satirical British spy dramas, such as Spy, Spooks... or those gritty police series such as Luther and Murphie's law. This is an RPG unlike any you've played before: be prepared to laugh, cry and cause mayhem to your hapless heroes.

A game that mashes up the genre conventions of film noir with the legends and stories of fairy folklore. It’s a roleplaying game for one player. You’ll need a deck of regular playing cards (with jokers), two dice of different colors, a set of these rules, a victim sheet, a crime sheet, and some way to take notes. It should take you 30 minutes to an hour to play. PWYW. |

|
A game where teams of fragile pilots use giant humanoid weapon platforms to fight against abominations from beyond the outer orbits of the solar system. No dice, no numbers (maybe minimal use of numbers would be better), psychodrama and intrigue galore. Just like an anime, just without the annoying character who everyone hates. NOTE: This is a pre-release beta, only available on the blog.
