Grant Howitt's one-page games run the gamut from stange to silly, daft to deadly serious and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing. This volume presents the first 13 games in their original single-page format, complete with secret back page material for every game that's never before been released.
Check out the rest of the volumes in the one-page series!
Volume 1 includes:
- The Witch is Dead, where you play murderous woodland animals attempting to gain revenge for the death of their mistress.
- The Golden Sea, a D20 game of traders and mystics setting sail across a trackless ocean of sand
- We Three Kings, in which you play the three dudes from the bible and stop King Herod’s plot to kill the baby Jesus with swordplay, necromancy and two-fisted sorcery
- Adventure Dice, a simple numberless storytelling game for kids, which includes special dice to cut out and color in
- We That Remain, a survival horror game played with a single deck of cards, in which you will all probably die
- Honey Heist, a game in which you are a criminal bear with two stats: CRIMINAL and BEAR; also contains an optional D8 hat table
- Big Gay Orcs, a game in which you play a load of orcs trapped in a doomed fortress, and generally make out a bunch
- Justified Anxiety, a game set in a suspiciously familiar paranoid dystopia where you shoot trouble for Companion Machine
- The Rapid and the Righteous, a fast and furious game about living your life a quarter-mile at a time
- Hack the Planet, in which you are a console cowboy or cowgirl, and the man is trying to keep you down so you jack in, hack in and get revenge; contains a grid of inaccurate techno-jargon to use at random to give you benefits to computer use
- Genius Loci, in which you play a post office in a 1960’s Suffolk village, and you eat the spirits of other buildings to survive invasion from the city
- Dead Channel, a game of straight-to-VHS horror, where each character has an individual set of misfortunes and injuries that shape the plot as they play out
- Trashkin, a fantasy game in which you play the races who get left out of the stories: raccoon-kin, ratboys, half-possums, goat girls, etc, then embark on a stupid quest for very little gain that will probably get you all killed
