A game in which you are trapped inside comments from online newspaper discussion threads. You and the others will take turns as game masters, reading out one selected comment on your turn and using it to set the scene and improvise freely around it. The game is not tightly structured, has no dice, and has a lot of room for interpretation. It's meant to be played in maybe half an hour or an hour by a group of friends who like joking around and poking fun at stupidity.

A goofy RPG about raccoons on a heist! It plays in about 20-30 minutes and is for 4 players exactly. There's no GM, and no need for prep. It's like Ocean's 11 or Leverage, but you know, raccoons.
PWYW.

Geiger Counter is a game system for Survival Horror. It was designed to do two things: 1) emulate movies in which most of the main characters eventually die and 2) perform really well in single-session play, such as a pick-up or convention game. This game requires a bunch of six-sided dice. I use about 20-30 dice of one color for the main characters and 8 dice of a different color for the menace. |

A Norwegian Freeform RPG. Imagine that you draw the essence from your own youth. You boil out the juices of the billowing leaves and make an elixir that gives you all of it, refined.
The real teenage years had many false starts. The party you couldn’t find. The boy or girl who never became a boyfriend or girlfriend. The time you went out for drinks and all your expectations of magic weren’t fulfilled.
Tonight something will be fulfilled. We don’t know yet what it is.
