Embrace Your Evil Side

 Hello, Gamers,

It is time for the weekly update from Micro RPG. This week's theme is EVIL. Many gamers enjoy indulging in playing evil characters in games. Well, now that option is available in Micro Chapbook RPG. This week I'm thrilled to bring you the official 2nd deluxe core rulebook for the systems dark fantasy setting. Micro Chapbook RPG EVIL EDITION is sure to fulfill all your wicked wishes. Additionally, to give you a taste of darkness, I'm also including a FREE evil 2-page adventure scenario.

EMBRACE EVIL!

Brutal, dark, and unforgiving, a villain’s life is never an easy one. 

The Micro Chapbook RPG system is an ultra-simple roleplaying game that can be played solo or with a traditional GM if you so wish. The EVIL EDITION is the second Deluxe Core Rulebook for the dark fantasy version of the system. The main game focuses on solitaire gameplay, starring a single power-hungry villain. It uses randomly generated dungeon scenarios to make each game session a little different. The universe for this game is brutal, unforgiving, and dark. It takes notes from such classics as Dungeon Quest and Deathtrap Dungeon. Expect to die and die often.

What is the difference between this book and the previous Deluxe Core Rulebook? This book focuses on playing evil and villainous characters. These characters will tend to be more powerful than your normal goodhearted hero. However, being evil has its drawbacks. Personal corruption can make you rot inside and out, not to mention make you an outcast of society. This core rulebook features all-new EVIL classes and races. This includes Death Knights, Warlocks, Orcs, Goblins, Dire Elves, Demons, and more. These characters have special dark powers to ensure their evil reign goes on and on. Of course, there is nothing saying that any other race from other gamebooks in the system cannot also be evil. OR that the races included here might work for a normal heroic character. This book also includes new rules for Corruption, Theft, Being Arrested, Escaping Jail, Intimidation, and much more.

Get your copy for only $2.99 on DriveThru RPG! Look for the print edition in the coming week.

Something Evil Walks the Halls at Night

Something walks the halls of Briar Academy at night. The students all believe the school is haunted. The sounds of footsteps, clanking chains, and the cry of a girl can be heard in the darkness. The Headmistress is at her wits end trying to solve the mystery. However, when one of the girls from the school vanishes in the night, they all begin to fear there is something far more sinister at work.

Return to Sleepy Hollow

One last year's absolute favorite games of the Halloween season was the print and play board game Sleepy Hollow: Hunt for the Headless Horseman. This solo game sees the player take on the role of Ichabod Crane. Well, I'm happy to announce that a physical edition is now available for $29.99 from the Game Crafter. You can still download the print and play version for FREE on drivethru. 

Mild-mannered school teacher Ichabod Crane loves ghost stories and occult tales. So much so that he reads them to his classroom each morning during the witching autumn months. Upon receiving a mysterious package one day, Ichabod finds a book inside. Its pages contain frightening yarns about Horseman Hollow just outside of town, and he can’t resist the urge to read it out loud to his students. Unfortunately for Ichabod, this is no mere book and the words--read aloud--awaken the devilish specter known as The Headless Horseman from his slumber. Now, every night of October, the Horseman rides from the hollow and into town, terrorizing the residents. Unhappy with this stupid mistake, but also unwilling to face the problem themselves, the town council assigns Ichabod the duty of tracking down the Horseman’s secret lair and putting a stop to the horrors once and for all. However, Ichabod isn’t as foolish as he appears. He knows that one of the council members is the person who unearthed the book and sent it to Ichabod. Someone is working with the Horseman to bring doom on Sleepy Hollow.

Sleepy Hollow: The Hunt for the Headless Horseman is a game of mystery and horror set in 1700s New England. It uses a “point-to-point” map system as its primary form of gameplay. You also have a list of 6 statistics that measure your abilities and equipment as Ichabod Crane. The map and player sheet include useful tables for tracking damage, weather, terror levels, and more. The game can be played as a board game or as a roll+write. Before playing the first time, print off the Map, Player Sheet, and Tokens (unless playing roll+write style) and mount them on cardboard or cardstock.

That is all for this week. I hope you are all enjoying this transition into fall! There will be many more seasonal games to come these next two months!

Killer Sharks and Space Ghosts, Oh My!

 Hello Gamers,

Happy Wednesday! It is time once again for the weekly update from Micro RPG. This may be the last couple of game releases for the next week or two as I'm taking a quick breather from work to focus on a few home and family things. Once I'm done with that break, I'm jumping into mostly horror game designs, or at least autumnal ones, to prepare for the coming Halloween season. I know for many of us, myself included, Halloween is a favorite. However, it won't be the same this year with all of us still social distancing from one another. So, I'm determined to bring you some fun spooky games for both families and gamers alike to enjoy this coming season. In the meantime, I have two fun new game announcements for you right now!

---

A Ghost Ship!

I'm happy to announce the first stand-alone adventure module for the Micro Chapbook Sci-Fi RPG and the third adventure module for the system as a whole. I know many of you have been asking, when will we get more Sci-Fi content? Well, here it is! A spooky ghost ship adventure to sink your teeth into. You can play it with JUST this book alone, in conjunction with the deluxe sci-fi book, or with any of the other deluxe core books! Bring a cowboy, vampire hunter, elf, dwarf, or whatever else you want into space! 

Curse of the Flying Dutchman is a stand-alone short adventure module for the Micro Chapbook Sci-Fi RPG. This adventure can be played on its own or as part of any current adventure or campaign. This book includes the rules basics, which may have some differences from the full rules in the core rulebook.

It also includes some new "space ship" rules to add onto the game.

Get it now for only 99 cents. Also look for it in print on Amazon soon.

Atomic Sharks!?

This week I'm happy to bring you another FREE print and play board game. This is a fun one that combines cold war submarines with killer sharks! It the first game in a possible line of board games about naval hunting. 

Dear operative,

We’ve just received intel from one of our best men in the CIA that the Russians are now implementing a new weapons project titled Project Tooth. According to our information, this new project utilizes sea life in its execution--specifically a genetically enhanced great white shark. We believe multiple disappearances of American fishing boats is related to this new project. We need you to join one of our submarine crews and hunt this creature down and kill it before it can do more harm . . . or the Russians can build a better one.

Atom Age Shark is a Sci-Fi themed alternate history game set during the cold war where the Russians are using a great white shark as part of the war effort. 

It is up to you, the player, to track down the shark and kill it. This will be no easy task as this superpowered shark can rip a sub to shreds if given the chance.

Get it for FREE or a small donation now DriveThru or Wargame Vault.

Well, friends. That is all for the next week or so. I look forward to reporting back to you in the coming couple of months with some spooky fun and horrific games of the season. Some possible products include a gothic fantasy campaign book, a new sourcebook for Hammer+Cross, new print and play and PHYSICAL board games, and a WHOLE NEW core rule book in a new frightening theme for Micro Chapbook RPG. I guess we will see what I have time to get done and into your hands before the pumpkin drops. 

Stay safe and healthy!

Play Over Video Chart For Free!

Hello, Gamers!

It is time for this week's Micro RPG update. I'm sending it a little early this week because this week's products are done sooner than expected. This includes TWO new deluxe gamebooks, one of which is free. Also, I really want to get the new set of Co-Op video chat rules into as many people's hands as soon as possible.

---

I'm thrilled to announce the Micro Chapbook Co-Op deluxe game supplement for Micro Chapbook RPG. This is something I felt was very important to get out and into your hands during this time where we are all being quarantined (either still or again). This past two weeks, someone in my home tested positive for the virus, thus separating us even more from one another. It has shown me just how isolated we are. 

In that time I had done some digging into how we can better connect with games during this time. I was happy to see a few smaller game companies offering new rules and tips for playing games over video chat (Like rules for Munchkin by Steve Jackson Games). It made me realize how important this is to help us connect and it inspired me. I instantly set to work on a new deluxe book of co-op rules for Micro Chapbook RPG.

Micro Chapbook Co-Op is a set of add-on rules for the Micro Chapbook RPG system. The basic system is designed for simplicity, quickness of play, and ease of entry. It is ultimately a solo game . . . until now.

All of the gamebooks so far include a few tips for playing co-op, but these co-op rules give you more clear and precise guidelines to play this game and all of its adventure books with a group of players. NO GAME MASTER NEEDED!

This book also includes:

• rules for character backgrounds
• rules for party backgrounds
• rules for party cohesion
• OFFICIAL rules and tips for playing via VIDEO CHAT
• a WHOLE NEW DUNGEON for use in any game, solo or co-op.

THIS BOOK IS FREE (or pay what you want) for everyone during quarantine in order to help gamers connect and play with friends and family over video chat. 

I truly hope this book can help you connect to family and friends at this time and have some simple and easy roleplaying fun.

If you want it in paperback, you can also get it on Amazon.

Swimming With Sharks

I'm also happy to announce the release of a new Adventure Module. Dead Reef Sharks.

I've been wanting to do a shark-themed game all summer long. Jaws is a favorite movie of mine and I love other horrible shark movies. However, I struggled with what kind of game to put out. Do I put out extra time and effort into a print and play board game? Do I make a quick roll and write? Finally, I decided on a short adventure module for Death in Dino Valley.

Dead Reef Sharks is a stand-alone short adventure module for the Death in Dino Valley roleplaying game set in a fantastical prehistoric world. This adventure can be played on its own or as part of the larger game presented in Death in Dino Valley core rulebook. This book includes the rules basics, which may have some differences from the full rules in the core rulebook. The adventure contained herein takes the player onto the ocean near Dino Valley in search of an underwater cave called the “Dead Reef.”

This book includes:

• Rules Basics to Get Newcommers Started
• 2 New Dino Companions
• New Rules for Building a Raft
• New Rules for Swimming
• A Stand-Alone Advneture With 2 Dungeon Scenarios

Get it now for only 99 cents on Drive Thru. The printed edition is also coming to Amazon soon in full color. 

 

That's all for this week, folks! 

Hope you all stay happy and safe!

Game on

-Noah

Hello Gamers,

It is time again for the Micro RPG weekly update. This week we have one new game for you and a new edition of a popular print and play.

Bring the Miniatures!

Ever since I released the very first Micro Chapbook scenario, people have inquired about being able to play the game with miniatures. Well, I finally have the solution for you!

Still completely soloable, Micro Chapbook TACTICS is a set of add-on rules to make your game more immersive. IT provides guidelines on how to transfer your game from the graph paper to the play mat with miniatures. Move your hero and their companions around the dungeon. Get the tactical advantage on the monsters. Slay the day! 

From the description:

Micro Chapbook Tactics is a set of add-on rules for the Micro Chapbook RPG system. While the basic system is designed for simplicity, quickness of play, and ease of entry, some players might desire more from their solo RPG. 

These tactical rules enhance the combat experience already present in the game by introducing a map-based tactical system that utilizes miniatures. Much of combat works the same as before, but now with the addition of movement and character placement. 

This book will touch on the concepts of tactical miniatures combat and how to best integrate it into your game! This includes concepts for movement, ranged combat, line of sight, facing multiple enemies, etc. 

Finally, the end of the book contains a new stand-alone game mode called Kolobard's Arena.

Pick up this new book for only $1.99 on DriveThru. Print soon to come to Amazon.

Take to the High Seas!

An updated version of Blood & Gold: Naval Warfare in the Age of Piracy, is now available to download! This new version includes rules clarifications as well as a few new rules to add some more excitement and tension to the game. New rules include:

• Sea Attrition: If you are out at sea too long, your crew might starve!
• Sea Rats: Most pirates are Sea Rats. They long to be on the ocean. Being on land too long makes them uneasy. Thus, the longer they remain on land, the more difficult it might become for them!

Additionally, a new JPG of the map will come with the download, allowing you to print a larger version of the board along with an extra PDF giving tips for printing the game and building it.

All of this comes in conjunction with the new PHYSICAL EDITION of the board game! That's right! You can get a physical boxed edition of the game now from The Game Crafter for $24.99. 

If you haven't tried the game yet, give it a spin for FREE (or for a small donation) with the print and play version. Get it on Drive Thru today! And those of you who already own it automatically can head to the site and download the new version!

This SOLO GAME is perfect for anyone stuck at home who doesn't have people to play games with in their household.

Hope in Things to Come

Well, that is all the new announcements for this week, but as we head into next week, I think there is something exciting coming your way. Something that many of you have inquired about. 

With this pandemic still running will all over the world, so many of us remain stuck at home. For some of us even, like myself, someone in our home might have the virus thus distancing us more and more from that social connection. We might even be confined to one room and feeling trapped.

But there is always hope! 

Next week I have a new project coming that is extremely meaningful to me in this time of isolation--something that will hopefully help you get your social gaming fix if you need it. AND IT WILL BE FREE.

Happy Wednesday to you all and stay healthy and sane out there! 

Thanks!

Noah

Christmas in July Sale! And Dinosaurs!

Hello Gamers! 

I hope you are all doing well right now during this crazy year we are having. I know I feel like I could use a break right now from everything. What better way to escape than with a roleplaying game? 

It is time for the Micro RPG weekly update, friends!

DINOSAUR VALLEY AWAIT YOU!

I am so excited to announce the release of my LARGEST gamebook yet! At 150 pages of dinosaur action, Death in Dino Valley is the most jam-packed deluxe core rulebook ever from Micro RPG! With all color images and all-new rules for dino companions, crafting, and more--you'll get hours of fun from this full-length core rule book/campaign book.

Death in Dino Valley is an ultra-simple roleplaying game using the increasingly popular Micro Chapbook RPG system. It is designed specifically for solo play but can be also played with a traditional GM if you so wish. The Micro Chapbook RPG Deluxe Game Master's Guide offers extra options for players wishing to take this route. 

The main game focuses on solitaire gameplay, starring a single tribe warrior. Your Tribe has recently discovered a new island--the one that is renowned to be the location of Dino Valley. You are dropped off alone on the shores to explore and map out the island. 

The game uses randomly generated game scenarios to make each session a little different. A scenario can be anything from an underground cave to a lush jungle.

This book also includes background on a whole new lush world for the Micro Chapbook RPG System. You may use any character from any other system core rulebook (even including cowboys, vampire hunters, and more), but this universe is focused on a fantastical prehistoric setting of cavemen and barbarians.  

Step into a lost world of many dangers. Explore deep jungles. Delve into caves and temples. Escape hungry dinosaurs. Forage for food, resources, and tools. Even take a dino as a pet.

Additionally, this game provides an open world for exploration. You will be able to craft new items from resources found.

The universe for this game is brutal, unforgiving, and dark. It takes notes from such classics as Dungeon Quest and Deathtrap Dungeon. Expect to die and die often.

Get it now for $2.99!

Happy Wednesday, Gamers,

It is time once again for the weekly update from Micro RPG. This week's games include a new adventure for Micro Chapbook RPG and something special (and a bit weird) in honor of the 4th of July here in America.

Go Camping This 4th of July

Nothing quite says summer like a good old camping trip. Many of us love camping and hiking. I know I do. Nothing helps my creativity and motivation like being out in nature. However, any good camping trip can be ruined by a sword-wielding maniac.

Today I am happy to announce the first Deluxe Adventure Module for Micro Chapbook RPG. It is a summer themed adventure for one player that takes heavy inspirations from some of my favorite horror flicks. Before becoming a full time game designer, I was actually a publicist and journalist for the horror community. I have a great love for all things horror, especially "theme" horror movies like summer camp. 

Midnight on Black Lake makes nods to many of these films I've so loved. 

The small and remote town of Black Peak is in an uproar over a recent string of disappearances. Recently, a group of the town’s youth headed up the mountain towards an area called Black Lake on a dare. Unfortunately, the group never returned. Having recently arrived in town yourself, the town Lord and other town members are desperate to get your help to find out what happened to the missing youths, and to discover the dark secret of Black Lake.

This new Deluxe Book only costs 99 cents! I really loved working on this one, so expect more adventures in the future.

Take to the Roads . . . During the American Revolution?

I often love weird and strange themes in games. This new game is no different. 

This week's FREEBIE is Road Patriots, an alternate history, steampunk skirmish wargame set during the American Revolution.

Players will build steam cars to battle on the field alongside militia and military in this miniatures game! 

Mount a cannon on your car, or simply fire muskets from the cab. It's up to you. 

This game is FREE to download in honor of the 4th (or you can make a small donation to support more free games).

---

That's all for this week. I will be spending the rest of the month relaxing at home with some historical American Rev wargames and celebrating the 4th with friends and family. So, no new games next week. Please enjoy the many FREE ones I already have up online. Stay happy. Stay safe. Game on.

-Noah

Blast Bugs in Space!

A Last Thought

Finally, I wanted to take a quick moment to respond to many of you who filled out my survey this past week. First and foremost, thank you for your time and opinions. It was awesome to see such a large response from the community. Second, many of you had many good ideas. I wanted to let you know that many of these games were/are already in the works. One person asked about being able to play a vampire or werewolf in some of the games. Rest assured, that idea is being played with. Another player liked the idea of a paleolithic setting. That is also being worked on! In fact, I have an old board game titled Neanderthal: Danger of the Wilds I made a couple of years back but never published that should be coming to print and play format in the next month or so. Another person wondered about an RPG that didn't rely on violence. Yes, in fact, I even have a Micro RPG gamebook that is about a different concept or topic than fighting enemies that I think many will enjoy. The vast majority of people said they loved the fantasy and sword and sorcery stuff the most, so that will get the main focus of my attention--but that doesn't mean other genres will go untouched. This is a one-man show. I work full time at this, but even then I can only put out new books so quickly. Thank you all for the support and you expect new gamebooks every week! I'll be announcing the winner of the free upcoming deluxe gamebook soon as well!

Thanks,

Noah

Happy Friday Gamers,

It is time for this week's update from Micro RPG.

I am thrilled to announce the release of my newest game: Hammer + Cross. It is a gothic horror game for solo players that uses the popular Micro Chapbook RPG system.

NEW ADVENTURES

This week I released two new stand-alone scenarios for Micro Chapbook RPG. 

In ORCS of the FORGE: An Orc Clan is preparing for war. You alone have discovered the hidden forge where they are building their weapons. Can you kill the Forge's Warlord and stop the war before it begins?

In JESTERS of CARRION CARNIVAL: A carnival has come to town, but has set up in a nearby cave? Something seems wrong about this carnival and the demented jesters that inhabit it. Can you drive away the carnival and save the town?

These two simple and easy solo games are FREE as always by typing $0.00 into the payment box (or leave a small donation to keep more games coming!) Get your roleplaying fix at home.

MICRO CHAPBOOK RPG DELUXE SCENARIO COLLECTION 1!

Today, I am thrilled to announce the release of the first Deluxe Scenario Collection for the Micro Chapbook RPG system. This book collects the first 5 scenarios into one complete package--but it is more than just a reprint of those scenarios. Each one has a few new editions to make them exciting including: 

• Backstory: A bit of background story to help get you into the experience.

• Village Shop: A list of the weapons, armor, and items available in town.

• Armory: Short descriptions of each weapon for added flavor and context. 

• Dungeon: The full complement of charts/tables needed for the scenario.

• Bestiary: A short description of each monster found in the dungeon for added flavor and context.

• Boss: A short description of the boss monster as well as the NEW REWARD you will earn for beating him (only found in this deluxe collection). You may earn this reward for each successful playthrough of a scenario. 

It also includes the basic rules of the game as featured in the stand-alone scenarios! That means you don't need any other book than this to play! Get it now for only $1.99! (and will be coming in print in the next couple weeks!) If you want more detailed rules options, there is also the Deluxe Core Rulebook which includes a new scenario and an Adventure module.

Happy Gaming and have a great week!

NEW CHAPBOOK: Christmas Cop Nights

"Welcome to the party, pal!"

My latest Chapbook RPG is out today. Following right on the coattails of Undead Nights, Christmas Cop Nights keeps the modern urban setting but takes it to a new genre--exchanging zombies for 80s Action Movies. Specifically, the ones set during the holidays. 

In this game players take on the roles of cops and police detectives, hunting down the worst of the worst criminals during the holiday season. 

Players need to keep their Holiday Spirit levels up while facing off against hard situations and even their own pasts and vices. 

What is a ChapBook game? It is a light pen and paper game where the rules take up no more than thirty to forty pages total. It is intended to be fast to learn and easy to play.

What do you need to play? You’ll need this ChapBook, a single six-sided die (known as a D6 in these rules), pencils, paper, one friend to act as Game Master (GM), and one to five friends to act as Cops.

And that's it! 

You can pick up this book in PDF format for only 50 cents for a limited time from DriveThru RPG. Or, you can wait for the paperback version to hit Amazon.

NEW RPG: Undead Nights

Hello again, gamer friends! It has been a long time since I released a traditional RPG--one that doesn't have a game board and instead is played in the gamer's imagination. One with a Game Master at the helm. It seems odd, considering I got started publishing games by doing ultra simplistic RPGs.

Well, it's about time I got around to it again. And thanks to one follower who asked for a new zombie game. Here it is! One that I started working on over a year or more ago and never finished. The latest in the Chapbook RPG series: Undead Nights! 

Here is the blurb from the back of the manual:

Welcome to Undead Nights, a ChapBook Roleplaying Game (CBRPG). What is a ChapBook game? It is a light pen and paper game where the rules take up no more than thirty to forty pages total. It is intended to be fast to learn and easy to play.

What is Undead Nights? It is a game of horror adventure and survival set in the nuclear zombie apocalypse.

What do you need to play? You’ll need this ChapBook, a single six-sided die (known as a D6 in these rules), pencils, paper, one friend to act as Game Master (GM), and one to five friends to act as Survivors.

You can pick up the game now at a discounted price for only 50 cents through DriveThru RPG. Or, if you prefer print, you can wait for the paperback copy to come to amazon in the next week. 

Also, if you have a friend who likes simple games, this tiny-sized pocket style book could make a great stocking stuffer.
