As the Newly Arrived, how have you done living on the fringe of society? What has it been like being an outsider? What's changed for you? Why do you now think you need others to survive?
And for those who are insiders, well within the established group, do really you need to include and let the Newly Arrived in to grow? What's changed for you? What makes you reconsider the lessons of the past?
Look inside yourselves and ask what makes you want to be part of a bigger network.

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. |

A storygame designed to model the crumbling plans of a group of antiheroes in the style of a Coen Brothers film, inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong – films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. You’ll play ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control. There will be big dreams and flawed execution. |

A game of heroes and villains, crime and justice, adventure and disaster. A group of 3-4 players take on the role of a handful of heroes while a single Game Master (the GM) provides opposition in the form of villains, henchmen, hazards, and schemes. A single session of Superlite Heroes! should take about 2-3 hours. To play, you will need a handful of index cards, some pencils, and a six-sided die.

This is a role-playing game about a home. In this home lives a family, or a succession of families. You’ll draw the home and watch as it changes with the family over the years.
You will need a good-sized sheet of paper to draw on, pencils, and something on which to record characters (index cards are good). A big pile of 10-sided dice is helpful but not necessary. You'll also need to print and cut out the game cards, or transcribe them onto something.

A parlor game wherein you take on the role of a council of dwarves desperately carving out their home within an ancient mountain. Its play can be a vital tool for localized worldbuilding, but is best done in a casual manner among close friends. A calm, slow game of strategy, conversation, and shoddy cartography; a story of dwarves, glory, and ruin.

A rules-light 2-page TV series simulator, Police Cops works best with 4-5 players, and one Commissioner. The Commish is the GM. The game is designed to play like a cop show, each session or two being an Episode with its own enclosed story, but still part of broader series.
