Instructions can be poetry.
A lyric game is any TTRPG built around this principle.
They can be challenging or simple, complex or direct, full featured or only a few words long. What matters is that they leave an impression on the reader.
In this bundle we have gathered together lyric games from 25 of the indie scene's designers and priced them at less than a dollar each. Every purchase helps support more weird, challenging games and a healthier indie.
