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 RULES and PREVIEWS

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I hope all of you enjoyed the 4th of July full of gaming if you live in the U.S.A. and that those of you from other countries had a good week as well. It is time for the Micro RPG weekly update. This week as a HELLO after taking a break from releases last week I have TWO free items for you this week along with one paid item.

FREE PREVIEW

I am happy to bring you the latest Micro Chapbook RPG scenario booklet, Revenge of the Dinosaurs! It's been a while since a new scenario book came out, and here it is! This one offers new classes as well as "Tribes" all of which are small previews of my biggest project in this game system yet. A deluxe rulebook is coming your way with over 100 pages of new content! 

While you wait for the new book, check out the Free Revenge of the Dinosaurs and fight some dinos in a hidden cave! Then, keep an ear to the ground (or our Facebook page) for news of the new upcoming deluxe book!

NEW RULES OPTIONS!

Ever since I started the Micro RPG Players group on Facebook, so many of you have been sharing your own variations and twists on the system! That is great! I specifically designed the game to be simple enough to be easily modified to fit any player's desire or need. 

As a result, I've gone ahead and made up a FREE booklet of NEW rules that you can plug into your current game. Some are there to make the game easier for those wanting a more casual experience, others to make it harder (if you like to punish yourself). It has a few new cool items you can possibly find in dungeons as well as a short list of NPCs. Many of these concepts may get their own books in the future. 

Get it for FREE now.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

Do you like murder mysteries? Does Public Broadcasting's Sunday Night Mystery Theater excite you? Goes Agatha Christie's Poirot or Miss Marple make you happy? Do you have fond memories of sitting in front of the TV and watching Murder, She Wrote? Do you love cuddling up with a good Whodunit Novel?  Well, if so, you're in luck! 

Cozy Mystery The Card Game is the latest print and play game release! 

In it, players compete to make the tastiest baked treats. Those treats are used as gifts to soften up suspects and reveal clues! The first player to discover the Murderer and the Motive wins! 

Pick it up for only 50 cents for a limited time! If you decide you love it, you can get a physical copy from The Game Crafter!

That is all for this week. Stay tuned for more releases, including a new Dwarf themed supplement!

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

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!

To The Stars and Beyond

So many of you have asked for it. In my recent survey, the #1 genre people wanted to see more of (after fantasy, of course) was science fiction. So, I am happy to announce that the Micro Chapbook SciFi RPG now has its own official deluxe core rulebook! You can download it now for only $1.99! The book includes all the rules and then some. Most exciting of all, it has a "Mission Generator" which allows for mixed up scenarios whenever you play.

Have a happy rest of your week

Blast Bugs in Space!

A derelict ship left floating in space. You fear it may be infested with a race of bug aliens who attach to a host ship and feed off the crew. Can you exterminate these bugs before they eat you?

Bug Ship is an ultra-simple science fiction roleplaying game where you explore a derelict ship.  It can be played solo or with a traditional GM if you so wish. This game is based on the extremely popular grimdark fantasy Micro Chapbook RPG system.

These rules are specially designed for solo play on a grid map or graph paper but may also be used as quick and simple rules for a traditional GM run RPG game. Combine with other Micro Chapbook RPGs for extra options!

You can print out the pages 4 to a sheet and then cut them out and bind them to create your own miniaturized version of the book. It only costs 99 cents. You can also get a printed copy on Amazon for $4.99.

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

And Now For Something Completely Different

And now for something "out of this world." Nearly 6 years ago when I was first dipping my toes into game design, I created a fully-fledged printed board game. I had a prototype made and playtested it with various friends and family. It was an exciting time. Then, I put it up online. Back then, there was very little interest in the game. My graphic design and art skills were less than great. So, after a short time, I took it down. Now, I've finally decided to revamp the rules and some of the art and republish it as a 2nd edition (even though I was the only one to ever own a copy of the 1st edition). So, here it is. Brain Suckers From Mars. A cooperative board game of surviving the night in a farmhouse while aliens attack! Get it on The Game Crafter for $39.99. The rulebook is free to download.
