A "Lady Blackbird" hack featuring survivors under the alien bugs who have taken over the planet Earth. You need a copy of these rules, pencils for all players and some scratch paper, and a handful of 6 sided dice. This is a "dice pool" game which means players may be rolling upwards of 10 dice on a single roll. You may also want several larger dice to represent the Bugs.

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.
