This single-sheet mini zine (zini, if you will) is an experiment in pushing the envelope for information density, layout, and gameable lore. It is written to be system agnostic, allowing you to take adventurers from any world and game into the catacombs described inside.
The inside spread describes how to procedurally generate dungeons on the fly or in advance complete with dozens of possible encounters and a back cover which is a quick reference for all the mechanics contained within.

meditation game of time and stillness, interrupted by brief scenes of ecological retribution. You play fae creatures living in the heartwood of old growth trees, dispensing asymmetrical retaliation to intruders in your realm. These intruders may bring with them evil and hate. They may be powerful fantasy adventurers, formidable masters of industry, or indiscriminate agents of chaos and pollution. You will always crush them in terrifying ways. it's a game of answering questions, but more importantly it is a game of silence and of waiting
low-level adventure or medium level sidequest, System-agnostic. Play with any D&D or OSR variant (we prefer 13th Age or Dungeon World).

If you grew up enjoying watching Yu-Gi-Oh (or Bakugan or any game-based friendship type of show) and thought it would be fun to be a cool anime character and have action-filled anime card battles where the rules, numbers, and cards really don't mean anything then I think you will really enjoy this game!

Set during the age of Prohibition in the US, imagine an alternate history where the Great War lead to the rise of computing power and cybernetic technology. Players are Torpedoes, people who take any jobs with no questions asked. C&C uses the Assembly System, a set of mechanics designed for quick character creation and ease of use. Perfect for fans of action, espionage, and intrigue, this cyberpunk re-imagining puts a new spin on the classic genre.
The world as we know it is an infinite forest, so dense that sun rarely pierces the canopy. Beasts and monsters lurk in the shadows, ready to eat anything even remotely unprepared. The only place that's safe is inside massive, city sized trees, each housing a unique civilization - The Boughs. The Boughs is a campaign setting designed for the Dungeon World RPG system, but can function as a system agnostic setting.

passionate robot communities and break the chains of your design.
Features:
game of tavern rumours and hearsay. You sit in a tavern or other location where the adventurous gather and share rumours of a foul beast that lives nearby. The locals join in, adding all sorts of colourful nonsense to the creature's description.
It’s all about creating ludicrous encounters with beasts for oneshots, convention games and sidequests in your regular campaign. Play the part of the tavern patrons sharing these rumours, than take your party off to confront them.
broadly compatible with fantasy RPGs and highly adaptable to other settings as you provide all the stats for the creatures and content is flexible to suit your setting.
This game is played collaboratively with groups of adventurers and a GM, and will accommodate any reasonable RPG group size. The game comes with random roll tables that provide ideas
characters will be asked to make hard choices in order to achieve otherwise impossible goals. It can fit into any existing game setting or genre, as a standalone game or in combination with other systems. the core mechanic is that if a character wants to do something that it has not been established in the story they can do, they must give up something of themselves to succeed.
Unlike Polaris, the player offers, not the GM, which is a nice twist.
Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in stripping down RPGs to their core element, or in telling stories that are intrinsically about struggle and tragedy.
