A lightweight engine for solitaire roleplaying game adventures. It works by directing you to answer the Big Questions that brings a hero into conflict with a setting’s threat. It keeps some measure of surprise while the emergent plot provides resistance to the protagonist’s motivations. It works best with characters that have strong motivations and are action-driven. |

A low powered urban fantasy game. The world of the Cursed is the same as our world, the streets are the same, the stores are the same, it's the characters that are different. They were normal once, then they received "the gift." The gift is the ability to sense beyond the normal, into the realm of the supernatural. Some can see the world of spirits, others escaped the other world, while some spent years learning to control and alter the natural laws.

A microgame for two, about political negotiation and bluffing. It’s made to be played in a Chinese restaurant, where you have to reach a consensus with your sworn enemy over the course of a single meal, or the entire world will be destroyed.

A minimalist hack of Dungeon World with character traits inspired by Risus, Rydu is designed to be compatible with *W games, to be playable solo, and to fit in a pocket. Print it out, fold it up, slip a few blank pages for maps into the pocket, grab a pencil stub and four d6s, and you’re set. You don’t even need friends.
