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!

NEW One Page Dungeon: Frostmire: Holiday in Chillson Wood

Hello once again, gamers. It is time for another game release! Just in time for the holiday break from work, here is the next entry in the One Page Dungeon Frostmire roleplaying game series! This time, we take a break from subterranean locations to explore the woods!

This release will be my last game for 2019, as I take a break to enjoy the holidays with my wife and my family. However, knowing myself, I will not be able to resist working on new games occasionally through the break. (Any ideas or desires for the new year? Shoot me a message via Facebook).

All I can say is I've been blown away by the support from all of you this year. I never anticipated the popularity that the One Page System and many of my other games would garner. It has inspired me to be more daring and take more risks with this system and other games in general (Keep an eye out for some truly exciting stuff to come next year) So, without further ado, here is the description for One Page Dungeon Frostmire Volume II.

Welcome to One Page Dungeon: Frostmire, a simple and easy role-playing-game for the solo player. You only need some printer paper, dice, and a pencil to play, making it perfect for a plane ride, hotel room, or anywhere else. The game works with a procedurally generated dungeon, adding some randomness to the game. The second volume of the FrostMire season takes place during the Yuleton Celebration in Trillit, when the festivities are interrupted by packs of hungry wolves from the woods.

As always, pick up the game for a discounted price during the release period. Only 50 cents on DriveThruRPG! 

OR if you love physical media you can get it in paperback from Amazon. 

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 GAME: One Page Apocalypse: Christmas Fallout

Hello again, gamers, and Happy Holidays. Nothing quite says winter solstice like a nuclear winter. At least, that is the case in the newest game in the One Page series!

One Page Apocalypse is a game I started working on around the same time as One Page Dungeon. However, I knew I wanted it to have a little bit more depth and complexity than One Page Dungeon, due to the fact that zombies, vampires, urban settings, and apocalypse fiction are all in my top favorite genres. I love fantasy, but it doesn't hold a candle to how much I adore urban/modern horror. (I blame books, tv, and movies from the late 90s and early 2000s).

In any case, I am thrilled to finally bring you the first of hopefully many entries in the Apocalypse version of this system. And hopefully the beginnings of a lot more in-depth games like I've never done before.

Some of the new things in this book include:

• Rules for creating your own "home base" as either part of a survivor's compound or as a lone wolf. 
• Rules for infection and cold. Try to stave off illness and death as long as possible. 
• Rules for Mutations! How will the radiation of nuclear winter change you? 
• And FINALLY a short list of rules for converting the system to multiplayer. 

Welcome to One Page Apocalypse, a simple and easy role-playing-game for the solo player. You only need some printer paper, dice, and a pencil to play, making it perfect for a plane ride, hotel room, or anywhere else. The game works with a procedurally generated game map, adding some randomness to the game.

This first volume marks the opening to Season 1 of the game--set in chilling nuclear winter where radiation turns any dead bodies into zombies. This season builds on the absolute basics of the One Page System (used in One Page Dungeon and One Page Cthulhu) and updates it for a modern horror setting.

Each volume will build upon the last, offering new snowy and frozen buildings and locations to explore in each entry--along with new horrors, mutations, and class options as well. Each entry stands alone, so no need to worry about playing them in order!
So, get ready to survive the apocalypse!

You can buy the first entry NOW for only 50 cents on DriveThru RPG. OR you can wait for the paperback copy coming soon!

NEW ROLL+WRITE: Christmas Cafe

Happy Holidays, Gamers! The season of joy is upon us and many of us will be spending some time with family. What better way to spend that time than playing some games with our loved ones. Well, this easy and family-friendly game is a perfect distraction this holiday season. 

What says Christmas more than warm drinks, candy canes, and cookies? Say it all in this game where you get to own and manage your own Christmas themed cafe.

In Christmas Cafe, players take on the role of new business owners managing holiday-themed cafes. In a busy downtown Old Market district, you are near a college and rely on students for a lot of your sales. However, if you want to beat out the competition, you’ll have to expand your menu, garner popularity through word of mouth, and--most important--you’ll need to manage your money wisely.

The player with the most profits at the end of December is the winner.

You can pick up this game for only fifty cents on DriveThru RPG this holiday season. 

Merry Murder Elves (Solo RPG)

It’s Christmas Eve, but something is terribly wrong. The elves have gone mad with bloodlust, the reindeer are rabid, the gingerbread houses have been burnt to a crisp with the families inside, but Santa still must deliver presents by Christmas morning. 

Can you help Santa and his Wife navigate through his house, workshop, and stables—and kill off the murderous elves and reindeer—in order to reach the sleigh and deliver the presents before Christmas morning?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Murder Elves is a Roll+Write Role-Playing Game of Christmas mayhem for a solo player. That means you don’t need a Game Master. This system uses a single D12 for all rolls and is based upon a simplified version of the Micro RPG system created by Noah Patterson for such games as The Dark West, Radio Mystery RPG, and Barbarians of the Gothic Waste. This new system is called the MicroD12 system and it is specifically designed for solo play.

This introductory edition of the game, featuring premade characters and premade maps, will show basic concepts and mechanics that will appear in the future rulebooks and adventures utilizing this system. Future books will include various game genres and settings that have become popular with gamers in recent and past years.

You can pick up this new RPG on DriveThru RPG today for only 99 cents!
