And now Minus Spiral is indexed, so you can see it in searches. Truly, what a time to be alive. In celebration, I have dropped the price permanently beneath the prior sale price, and added 10 more community copies.

Minus Spiral is a tabletop RPG designed for one-shot sessions. It began life as a thought experiment: having read a game in which you were a god and your actions always succeed (with costs), I wondered if one could make a game in which actions always failed instead. This blossomed into a black comedy game about hapless player characters all striving for the same thing, and each failing in their own unique ways. Yet in the end, the one who succumbs to the most misfortune earns their happy ending.

I backed this on Kickstarter! Well worth it, too, the final product was nicely laid out with detailed art and a varied assortment of example monoliths to give the reader an idea of what they were making. Filled with enough content to spark the imagination but a slim enough volume not to overwhelm with crunch.
