So, to toot my own horn, I do a line of one-page mini-RPGs that I call
One Page Wonders. These are rules light RPGs, some suitable for one-shots, others for longer term play.
The only definite one-shot so far is my first one:
Toys of Tomorrow!
In Toys of Tomorrow!, you play AI toys that bring love and joy to your child. That is, until the day he goes missing! Then it's up to you to find him or her before the
Child Finder 3000 gets to your kid first! (Or you fall afoul of the Agents of T.O.I.S.!)
The games that lend themselves to longer term play are:
Kid's Last Tour,
Kid's Last Tour Companion, and
Kid's Last Tour: The TowerIn this series, you are a bunch of kids, 10 to 12 years old, doing your best to survive in the post apocalyptic world of the city and its environs. Running into other survivors and the last vestiges of pre-war technology and the ruins it caused. You're seeking someplace to start again, and hopefully make a new start.
The next two are related games:
Iron Angels: Magical Girl Brigade and
Magical Mom Force!In the first, you're kids that have made a deal with a strange entity that claims to be a spirit animal. He'll grant you magical powers in exchange for you taking out the evil Yokai that are appearing in your area. You'll all become Magical Girls. (even the boys)
In the latter, you've grown up, had kids and a career, but you've never lost your magical powers. You're a Magical Mom, and you do your best to fight the evil Yokai, The Human Yokai Master, and keep the Weasel, the so-called spirit animal, from your kids. All the while juggling home life, raising a family, going to work, and just being a parent in this crazy world.
I'm about to release a new series of games and adventures for a setting I'm calling:
The Great Chasm. The first two releases will be
The Great Chasm: The First Strata and
The Great Chasm: The Surface World. More on this setting after it gets released.
