Explore the lives and secrets of a small, isolated town. Inspired by stories like Twin Peaks, It, and Dark, where the town is as much a character in the story as its inhabitants. Isolated, turned inward, and more than a little creepy, the town is the monster in this tale. It rarely lets people go: characters are born and die here - and only if they’re very lucky does the latter come as the natural end to a long life. |

The World Wide Wrestling RPG is a game that creates professional wrestling pageantry and action. You don't need to know much about real–world wrestling in order to play this game well! All you need is an idea for an entertaining character. Wrestling is the drama of personal conflict, exaggerated until it becomes mythic. The game plunges your wrestler into these conflicts, guiding you through the drama as it escalates in more and more crowd–pleasing ways. |

Wandrils is a system-agnostic random-path inter-planar micro-dungeon (whew!). With a little work on your end it can be easily imported into any game that features inter-planar weirdness (i.e. Troika, Rifts, D&D, etc.).

A unique roleplaying game to be played in one session, in which you play heartbreakingly beautiful mages who fall in and out of love across the distant and crumbling Empire of the Moon. Uses haiku-writing as a core conflict resolution mechanic. Very little prep required. There is no GM, but there is the Ghost-Emperor.
