"Accumulating Wealth" A one-page RPG made by me (Creative Wronging) for the #36WordRPGJam 36 Word RPG game jam. The entire thing is gold, white, & money green font on a black background, with 5 playing card-shaped outlines in the center. The text says: "Rules: set Wealth die (1d8) to 3. Draw 1 card per stage of life from a standard deck. If > previous card, move Wealth Die up 1, and vice versa" The 5 playing card outlines are each labeled for a stage of life: 1. Birth (compare to Wealth) 2. Youth 3. Prime 4. Decline 5. Death At the bottom is my Knight/Wizard logo in green, along with credits & links

In light of the stock markets imploding & tariffs, here's a 1-page RPG I made a few months ago for the #36WordRPGJam called "Accumulating Wealth"

It's a free lil experimental solo #ttrpg about volatility & how our economic strata changes over a lifetime 🎲

There is an original Help Action game.

All of these games that I've shared with you today were valid for the #36WordRPGJam. I didn't get them formatted and submitted. But they'll be Games for an Ordinary Life, which has one week and 30% left to go.

I could use your help action to get it funded <3

In a haphazard red writing on a piece of paper: You are dying. What last 36 words shall leave you, precious or vain, uttered, scribbled? On subsequent playthroughs, previously used nouns and verbs are forgotten. Articles, onomatopeia, pronouns are freely shared. Those are your last words.

Quick 36-words lyric game, not made for the #36WordRPGJam because I had the idea just now.

A product photo for the magnetic poetry version of Reveal Your Heart Quest - the magnets are laid out in one sample arrangement on a metal plate leaning against some cloth bound hardcover books. There are two white cotton bags in frame as well, one spilling more magnet words from it.

I've made a *real* magnetic poetry version of my #36WordRPGJam game Reveal Your Heart Quest, and it's honestly amazing.

This was really a flippant anti-game idea that I had and then I followed through and I think it has merit.

I'm soliciting more magnet ideas too! What game words do you need?

Games for an Ordinary Life — Deep Dive Starting Tuesday February 11, I'm launching a kickstarter for Games for an Ordinary Life is an art zine of minimalist games that I wrote mostly during the 36 Word RPG Jam that ran through January. It'...

I wrote a deep dive on the creative process for "Games for an Ordinary Life", my #ZineMonth / #ZineQuest art zine of short, sweet and dangerous games.

I talk about the #36WordRPGJam as a game design sketchbook, and I discuss design layers of some games inside.

Cover of the game, it shows the title in red and an elf lady holding a skull close to her chest. Her clothing, in blue and gold colors, is inspired by Iberian sculptures and old (but more modern than medieval) European/Western clothing.

Second page of the game, explaining the story and the rules.

The #36WordRPGJam concluded last Friday, it was my first time participating in a game jam, and I loved the experience!

Here's the short, introspective dungeon crawler I did: The Gaping Serpent. You can get the PDF for free in the link below.

A page of A4 designed to look like scraps of paper collaged together with a photograph of a clock and a drawing of two hands holding. Text reads: Take my hand and tell me every thing That you with someone had once told you. But first: roll a d6. The result is how many minutes you will speak to me Before I let go

I missed the #36wordrpgjam but hey, creativity sometimes works on its own schedule. Here's something for you to play with someone you trust.

You died. // You survived.
Say nothing. // Say all you couldn’t before.
Show them photos, items, important memories. // Sort them to pack away, to dispose, to hold.
Touch three times, tenderly. // Sort what’s touched again.
