Don't Be BOARD at Home . . . Make it an Adventure!

Hello Friends and Gamers,

It is time once again for the Micro RPG weekly update! Summer is upon us and for some reason that puts me in the mood for games! I had many a happy summer day spent in the cool air-conditioned living room of my childhood home or on vacation visiting grandma's house crowded around a board game with my two brothers. We played anything we could get our hands on from Chess, to Checkers, to Monopoly, to Clue, and even the old 1993 Jurassic Park Game. Nothing quite says "summer time" to me like a board game. 

That's why, this week, I'm thrilled to bring you a fully fledged print and play board game!


Don't Be BOARD at Home . . . Make it an Adventure!

I am happy to announce a large project I've been working on. The Micro Chapbook RPG Board Game! Taking the basics of the system you all know and love and distilling it into a board game, I've created a compact adventure for 1-4 players. Travel an open world map. Explore the wilderness. Visit towns. Delve into dungeons. But it's more than that. It is also a fully compatible game supplement if you want to combine your other Micro Chapbook RPG products with it! You can also expect new gamebooks, campaigns, and adventures set in the region depicted here on the game map! Pick up this print and play version today for only $2.99. A fully printed retail version with game pieces will also be available for order down the road--depending on the interest and success of this version.

Included in the print and play version is:

  • A two-section square board game. The World Map and the Dungeon Map.
  • A Deck of Character Portraits.
  • A Deck of Quest Cards.
  • A Deck of Location Cards.
  • A Deck of Spell Cards.
  • Damage Cards
  • Character Sheets
  • Game Instructions
  • Build Tips
The physical version, if printed, will also include 8 quest markers, dice, and character portrait standees. If you want to see an official version in print, make sure to drop me a line on the Micro RPG Facebook page or the Micro RPG Players group page.


Weekly Freebie!

Now, it wouldn't be a weekly update without a new FREE game! My current goal is to have one inexpensive paid game and one free game (at least) every week. It matters to me that those who love the gaming hobby, but may not have disposable means for said hobby, have access to cheap and free products! I find it is especially important right now when many of us have less money coming in but are looking for breaks from the craziness around us. Sometimes, sitting down to a simple game can be the best relaxation and therapy a body needs!  

This week I'm bringing you the 3rd entry in the Micro Chapbook Wargame series. This time, I bring you Crusader Vs. Skeleton! 

A necromancer has raised a great Skeleton Army. The righteous army of the crusaders are determined to thwart this unholy evil. Who will win?

Crusader Vs Skeleton is a Micro Chapbook Wargame--an ultra-light miniatures skirmish game that fits in a single folded chapbook. Simply print off the two rules pages back-to-back, fold in half, and you have a completely playable Micro Chapbook Wargame. 

These rules are specially designed for solo play but may also be used as quick and simple rules for a one on one miniatures game. Combine with other Micro Chapbook Wargames for extra options!  

This file includes both the full-color and printer-friendly versions.

Pick this up for FREE (or for a small donation) on DriveThru and Wargame Vault!
