What you already know (from the Google Form through which you signed up) :

  • This is going to be a one-page ttrpg. 
  • Please do not use any game system you do not have the rights to/license for.
  • Please be kind - to yourself and others participating.

If you're reading this on 22nd Dec 2023, here's what you need to think about/do first:

  1. Roll a d10. Multiply the result by 100. This gives you the 'number of years'.
  2. Roll a d4. 
    • If you rolled 1 or 2, subtract the 'number of years' from Step 1 from 2024. That's when your game is set.
    • If you rolled a 3 or a 4, add the 'number of years' from Step 1 from 2024. That's when your game is set.
  3. Roll a d6. 
    • If the result is odd, you'll be setting this game in a version of a place you've never visited. 
    • If the result is even, you'll be setting the game in a version of a place you've lived.

Note : you may interpret the instructions however you like. i.e. The past needn't be set in this reality. 'a place you've lived' can be an apartment building, a city, a country, a mindset, etc.


If you're reading this post-29th December 2023,

Some clarifications we were asked for, so everyone's on the same page (ha!) :

  • You can use both sides of the page.
  • You can't include cards unless they somehow fit on that page :)
  • Same with character sheets - unless the player can use the one-pager to note down any details within the two sides of the page, no additional sheets, please!

The Twist

Here's a set of elements/characteristics to incorporate into your game. Please note : you may roll for any of the options but you must incorporate at least one option:

  • Option 1: Roll a d4
    • All beings (including your characters) in your game will henceforth be : on a (1) frogs (b) horses (c) celestial beings (open to interpretation) (d) inanimate objects
  • Option 2: Roll a d6 
    • Your key demographic for this game is now : on a (1,3,5) college students; (2,4,6) grandparents/senior citizens [Note - this is also open to interpretation]
  • Option 3 : Roll a d20
    • Your maximum number of players must now be at least:  the result of your roll divided by 2
  • Option 4 : Roll a d6. On a 
    • 1, at some point on your one-page game, you must mention unicorns.
    • 2, your introductory paragraph/ min 2 lines must rhyme.
    • 3, at some point on your one-page game, you must make reference to art of some kind 
    • 4, in some way, at some point in the game, the turn order must be based on something ridiculous
    • 5, your final game must be black & white.
    • 6, your game must include the word 'whomst' at some point.
  • Option 5: Roll a d20. On an even result, you now have the option to add a character sheet.
