One Year of One-Page RPGs Bundle: VOLUME 5
In 2016, Grant Howitt decided â flippantly â to write a one-page roleplaying game every month and release it for free online. Little did he know that the barely-intelligible pen-and-ink scratches he turned out would go on to define his career, and the shape of roleplaying games, for years to come.
Played by thousands of people all over the world, Grantâs one-page games run the gamut from strange to silly, daft to deadly serious, and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing.
Youâll receive 13 games printed on high-quality paper and signed by Grant, bundled together into a folder with a fancy cover. Youâll also get a handy PDF download of all of the front pages.
These games (and their back pages) are:
UNCANNY RALLY
Play escaped military androids on the run from the authorities trying to drive to freedom on the west coast. Youâll need to do part-time jobs for gas money, but also your arm keeps turning into a minigun without warning and your personality programming is malfunctioning. Good luck!
BACK PAGE: Three D20 tables of military technology, android collective tech, and smartphone apps for you to use during your games of Uncanny Rally.

BIG BANG SUPERSTARS
Unknown Armies crossed with Americaâs Next Top Model. Space wizards, demigods, alien hive minds and handsome robots compete in an extradimensional reality show for the chance to rebuild the universe.
BACK PAGE: Big Bang Back Page. Tables, prompts and similar ephemera from Grant and some actually useful advice from Nathan on running the game online for an audience.

CLUEDONâT
Your eccentric relative is dead. They were so eccentric that they decreed only their murderer would inherit their vast fortune. Even though you didnât do it, can you convince the cops you did? A reverse version of Cluedo, or âClueâ for American readers who get spooked by ludic suffixes.
BACK PAGE: Every idea we had that we couldnât fit on the front page, including but not limited to: psychic powers, traps, rules for being a ghost, and bribery.

HIMBO TREASURE HUNT
Youâre a good-intentioned muscular person with a non-standard intelligence profile. Can you stop your local gym from closing by unraveling a mystery that goes all the way back to 1973?
BACK PAGE: The Laser Jubilee. Completely unrelated to Himbo Treasure Hunt. Queen Elizabeth the second (lord rest âer soul) is celebrating her Laser Jubilee with holograms, robot parades and brutal crackdowns on dissidents. Can you, a dissident, ruin a local celebration?

ARLECCHINOâS ELEVEN
Not a one-page game! A 36-page game, laid out by a professional designer, with proper photobashed art. Youâre a washed-up crook with one last job to do before packing it in â a heist in Reno. The only advantage youâve got is a sackful of theatre masks that let you do magic as long as you perform a play alongside your heist. Some knowledge of 17th Century Italian humour recommended but not required.
HEARTSWOOD
Once upon a time, someone broke her heart. Now sheâs descending into the depths of her psyche to mend it. Play arcane facets of someoneâs soul following a traumatic breakup and explore a cursed woodland to rebuild their life.
BACK PAGE: Street Writer. Competitive slam-poetry game. Sarahâs list of Roller Derby-style names for contestants based on classic authors really makes it.

LEXINOMICON
Explore the hidden world that pulses beneath our own by finding messages hidden in any old book you can find; edit, modify, cut-up and generally ruin second-hand novels to uncover the truth.
BACK PAGE: Additional content for Lexinomicon including a vague cosmology, some moody bible verses, and expanded rules for play.

WRECK THE HALLS
This game extrapolates the wretched self-centredness of the UKâs ruling class into a cyberpunk future and tasks you, a gang of holiday-themed cyberpunk rebels, to steal Christmas from absurdly wealthy people using improvised and subverted technology.
BACK PAGE: The Mall. Alternate adventure for Wreck the Halls where you navigate a shopping centre filled with rival gangs, playing one off against the other to prosper.

THE RULES OF THE DEEP
Strange OSR-style game where you must delve as deeply into forgotten subterranean ruins as you can before you die. Legacy campaign played by the GM; each group of players changes the world for the next.
BACK PAGE: Tricks. Magic spells for The Rules of the Deep; some useful, some creepy, some creepy and useful.

CAPTAIN SWANHANDS
Not a one-page game! An eight-page game, with art and animal facts. Youâre a superhero! You have swan necks for arms and swan heads for hands. Can you save the city, find love, and hold down your day job at the office (despite the swan thing)?
BIRD CRIMES
Thanks to a difficult life full of bad choices, itâs come down to this: smuggling illegal birds on board a red-eye flight from JFK to London. Turbulence strikes and the birds escape their restraints: can you recapture enough of them before landing to pay off your debts? Has full rules for what happens if the birds get hold of the Air Marshallâs gun.
BACK PAGE: You Canât Make An Omelette Without Breaking A Few Legs. Hack of Bird Crimes which sees you, a gang of mafia enforcers, attempting to win a cooking contest between ruling crime families. Has a D20 table of horribly violent abilities you must somehow apply to making a souffle.

DEATH WAS THE ONLY ROAD OUT OF TOWN
Psycho-noir power trip experiment which sets players the task of escaping from someone elseâs dream by murdering them; think Sin City by way of Fear and Loathing with a side order of the Hays Code. Players are treated mean by the GM but have ample opportunity to get their own back by spending tokens that bend and break the storyline and force their tormentor to dance to their tune.
BACK PAGE: Immortal Darkness. What if being a vampire was fun, though? Solo journaling game where youâre an undying antihero with great hair, loads of sexual partners, twin silvered Desert Eagles with specialist ammo and a big castle all to yourself.
