Each separate post is a whole RPG world to itself. Consider each thread like a one-shot RPG. Post a premise, some (preferably quick) rules and supply a prompt and then play! Experiment with weird, quirky, non-traditional RPG designs, do freeform and crazy non-sequitur improv. But above all else: HAVE FUN!

I like to collect and occasionally play fun, quirky and rules-lite RPGs. I thought I might share some that I've enjoyed reading or playing over the years with this community. I've linked my Google drive collection here. Hopefully this can be a good resource for people looking to play in this community or elsewhere!

Some of my favorites include:
Honey Heist
Lasers and Feelings
Pride and Extreme Prejudice
Adventure Skeletons

I'd love to hear some recommendations for any that I should add!

That's a great mechanic! I tried to simplify this system for people who had never played before, both for ease of learning and ease of running the game. I left a lot of possible mechanics out chasing that 1page status. There's a lot of room to expand this base system into a pamphlet sized ruleset, but I'll leave that work to others right now.

My next work is more elaborate, more along the lines of a dice pool system with attributes / skills. It does have a "help" mechanic that works a lot like this one (or the one from the 2d20 rulesets), where one player can give their extra successes to another player. Definitely won't be a 1 page system.
