One Page Games: Volume 3 (2019-2020)
One Page Games: Volume 3 (2019-2020)
Adventurous skeletons! Larcenous crows! Beautiful space pirates! Doomed colony ships! Imperilled scouts! Cannibal post offices! Malfunctioning cyberpunks! Party goats! Terrible seagulls! Divine geese!
In 2016, Grant Howitt decided – flippantly – to write a one-page roleplaying game every month and release it for free online. Little did he know that the barely-intelligible pen-and-ink scratches he turned out would go on to define his career, and the shape of roleplaying games, for years to come.
Played by thousands of people all over the world, Grant’s one-page games run the gamut from strange to silly, daft to deadly serious, and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing.
Each volume contains (at least!) 13 games in their original single-page format, complete with SECRET BACK PAGE material for every game that’s never been released online. Plus, where relevant, the longer games Grant and his collaborators have released are printed in fullcolour, saddle-stitched booklets.
Each game has been written, illustrated (sorry) and laid out entirely by Grant, unless someone else helped him, in which case it says so.
