Ten One-Page Roleplaying games (for younger players)

In 2016, Grant Howitt decided – flippantly – 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, Grant’s one-page games run the gamut from strange to silly, daft to deadly serious, and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing. This volume is a special collection of ten one-page games aimed at younger readers, complete with SECRET BACK PAGE material for every game that’s never been released online. (If there were any swears or grown-up concepts in the game, we’ve swapped them out for more family-friendly content.)

Each game has been written, illustrated (poorly) and laid out entirely by Grant, unless someone else helped him, in which case it says so.
