Hello Gamers,

I've returned from my break and am back at it designing new inexpensive and free gamebooks and print and play products for you to enjoy while you are at home. For the future, you can expect to see one new game a week. previously I was putting out between 1 and 4 games a week, but to prevent burning myself out, I'll stick to one game a week. You can definitely expect at least one or more new Micro Chapbook RPG products a month along with other additions to various game series and stand-alone board games coming your way!

The Lord of the Wood Awaits

One of my game designs I've previously retired from production is the One Page game system. This included One Page Dungeon, One Page Cthulhu, and One Page Apocalypse. Well, I'm happy to announce that, for a limited time, I will be resurrecting the system. This is mainly to finish putting out a couple of new books that never got finished and put into your hands. 

This week I'm happy to give you a new One Page Cthulhu product: The Herbert West Trilogy deluxe collection. 

One Page Cthulhu is a simple and easy 1920s horror role-playing-game you can play with a single sheet of paper and this book. Perfect for a plane ride, hotel room, or anywhere else. You can even compete with your friends to see who can get the most clues and solve the mystery.

This special-edition collection brings together the 3 volumes of the game in one book. This trilogy of games in one book grants you 9 different character options, 9 different spells, 3 different horrific areas to explore, and many monsters, traps, items, weapons, outerwear, and more.

This version of the game goes into more detail on rules for the purpose of clarity. Additionally, as a bonus for buying this special edition collection, I’ve included descriptions of each monster and trap along with new Area Types charts not previously included in the stand-alone volumes. 

Pick up this new edition for only 99 cents now on Drive Thru! OR check it out in print on Amazon in the coming week.

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. The adventure contained herein takes the player and an away team to the outer reaches of space where an old ghost ship, thought long dead, has shown up.

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!

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 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. 

This Unthankful Land: Thanksgiving Special 2019

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow gamers in the United States! Today I'm happy to announce this year's Thanksgiving special. It is called This Unthankful Land and it is the latest entry in the Point Chills system fo board games (a follow up to Sleepy Hollow, Hunt for the Headless Horseman).

You are a western settler in the mid to late 1800s. You moved yourself and your family out to this unknown place with the promise of a free parcel of land from the government. You had high dreams of working the dirt with your own two hands, planting seed, and watching as the crops shot up like giants toward the sky. You envisioned a landscape of cattle, animals well fed and fat for the market. You relished the thought of taking your animals, your crops, and selling them for a pretty penny at the end of the season. You imagined sitting around the table with your family, your wife and six children, and celebrating the bounties of your harvest over a large Thanksgiving feast!

Unfortunately, none of that has happened. A vicious late summer storm destroyed your crops with hail. A plague of bugs swooped in afterward to eat what little might have been salvageable. The cattle all contracted some sort of illness, withering their bodies away to nothingness before your very eyes. Worst of all is the Turkey, the huge bird you’d been fattening up for the Thanksgiving holiday. That turkey went berserk, overcome with some sort of illness of the mind. It attacked the weakened cattle, eating the flesh off their bodies. It even attacked your youngest son before rushing off into the wild.

Now with winter coming, you not only face complete isolation and starvation, but you also fear what lurks in the woods and mountains surrounding your farm. Could it be that the turkey is still waiting out there? Watching you at every turn? Perhaps he wants to feast on you this Thanksgiving.

In any case, there seems to be a curse over this unthankful land.

This Unthankful Land is a solo print and play RPG board game of Horror Survival in the American West. You can pick it up now on DriveThru RPG. OR keep an eye out for the print paperback version of the game coming soon.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2019! With One Page Asylum!

Happy Halloween, again, gamers! It has been a wonderful spooky year for games this October, and I have one last final treat for your candy bag! All you need to say is Trick-or-Treat! 

One Page Asylum is my latest solo RPG using the One Page System and it is FREE TODAY ONLY for Halloween 2019! Those of you who have tried the system will be happy to see the addition of a few new elements for the horror survival theme including backtracking and a Terror Level track (Things you can expect to see in future One Page Cthulhu entries). Here is a little more about One Page Asylum. 

What once was rain has turned to icy sleet, running down your cheeks, the back of your neck. Your hair is wet and sticks to your skin, chilling you further against the late October night. Your feet feel frozen standing in the cold mud of the woods. You know you need to find shelter quickly or you’ll certainly die of exposure. Unfortunately, your old clunker of a car broke down miles from the nearest town. Your only hope is to find an isolated farmhouse, barn, or some other building to spend the night and wait out the unexpected storm.

Marching through the woods, you make your way forward, the isolated road vanishing behind you through the thick trees. It feels as if you walk for hours. Your fingers go numb. Your feet burn. Your stomach grumbles for something to eat. Then you see it. Stepping out of the trees into a clearing, you are dwarfed by an enormous building. It looks like it was once a hospital of sorts . . . but now it is abandoned.

Gritting your teeth, you head for the door. 

Welcome to One Page Asylum, a stand-alone “one-shot” entry in the One Page series of solitaire role-playing games. Perfect for a plane ride, hotel room, or anywhere else. Based on the same system as One Page Dungeon and One Page Cthulhu, this game uses a randomly generated grid map, creating a creepy labyrinth for your lost and intrepid hero to survive.

Dead Outpost Print and Play Game

Dear Fellow Gamers,

Christmas is fast on it's way! The days are getting darker, the nights longer, and the cold is setting in. Many of us already have snow. So why not bundle up near the fire (or the radiator in my case) and play a fun, quick, and FREE print and play game? My newest roll-and-write game is availalbe now for download from DriveThru RPG.

Dead Outpost is a sequel to my previous game (released at Halloween) Dead Cabin. It is a roll-and-write style role-playing game that is easy and fast to play. It is suitable for up to four players but works best solo.

The Arctic Outpost of Dedalus 6 has been deathly quiet lately. Too quiet. When the research team of the outpost suddenly stumble upon a strange underground bunker under the ice, they know something is seriously wrong. Bodies that are long dead are inside—and they won’t stay down!

Barricading themselves into the outpost building the researchers realize their power has gone down and call for help. Unfortunately, there is a big blizzard on its way and the helicopter won’t be able to get through until morning. 

Will the research team be able to barricade the doors, fight off the zombies, and survive the night? Or is this the end of the expedition for all of them?
