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 third 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 3 includes:
- Be Prepared- Boy scouts struggle to survive overnight as an ancient terror hunts from the dark woods at the centre of the camp. Contains a buddy system-focused hit point mechanic!
- Beautiful Space Pirates (In: The Galaxy’s Most Dangerous Funeral!)- You’re a dashing young scoundrel and it’s up to you and your crew to secure your inheritance by fulfilling some of the most outlandish requirements ever outlined in a pirate’s will.
- Dungeonscrawl- The Palace of the Briar Prince invades the world you know when the stars are right. Generate the shifting corridors as a group and play through to seize your heart’s desire with a simple D20 system.
- Goat Crashers- You’re a cheeky little goat and you want to party. Only problem is, humans keep trying to kick you out! Are you going to stand for that?
- Kobold Endeavour- You’re a scaly dragonling whelp on a mission for the Mighty Dragon King: to pocket as much stuff as possible from a rival dragon’s horde before you get killed. Your only skills lie in elaborate distractions.
- Reverse Beastmaster- Written in collaboration with Nate Crawley, this madcap assault on the senses sees you taking orders from cruel animals with poor impulse control and no concept of forward planning.
- Sad Vampire Boyfriend- A surprisingly grown-up, almost diceless game where you play mortals and vampires trying to find love in a damned world.
- Seans Bean in: A Very Northern Christmas- Inscrutable high-concept farce where you play five Seans Bean each and must attempt to film a Netflix holiday special without all of you dying.
- Sexy Battle Wizards- You have three stats: SEXY, BATTLE and WIZARD. You live in a flying castle. You are wanted in several countries for collateral damage caused whilst trying to save the world.
- The Witch House- You are transformed into a bestial shape by a hideous witch and must escape before what little left of your humanity is washed away with invasive magic.
- This is Not a Place of Honour- Play pilgrims acting through the trials of the star gods who brought life to this planet millennia ago; then, play the luckless, terrified humans who crash-landed a colony ship into it and would be remembered as star gods in the distant future.
- Wake- You’re in a coma; you awaken in an unreal stitched-together hospital ward where hungry phantoms prowl the depths. Are you prepared to kill your way out?
- What I Did On My Summer Holidays- Slapstick, low-consequence adventures in the vein of classic British comics; you play a rookie witch and her vaguely magical friends desperately trying to have fun in a boring seaside town.
