The Pleasure-not-Business Card TTRPG game jam is going on until Mar 30, 2021, so I took some time to work with my cousin Matthew and create some gaming material!
Two are full tabletop role-playing games you can take with you anywhere in the form of business cards:
- SHARP - Short Hand Adventure Role Playing is a rules-lite OSR-ish type game of fantasy adventure that makes classes super-flexible for weird combinations, and standardizes challenges (traps, monsters, hazards, etc.) in order to make it play very fast, and pretty deadly!
- DeScriptors: I Mean Business is a distillation of the core DeScriptors RPG rules (which you can get for free here), optimizing them for 1-on-1 play and adding a high-stakes relationship drama element!
I've also published two rules add-ons (what we call Variations in DeScriptors lingo) that you can add to your standard DeScriptors RPG games. The first adds a crafting/cooking/recipe-type system and is aptly called DeScriptors: Craft. The second is somewhat related (and can easily be used alongside the crafting rules), adding resource management...with dire consequences if you run out! This is called DeScriptors: Survive, and is potentially going to be worked into a bigger Variation for the DeScriptors game centered on horror roleplaying in the vein (haha!) of slasher films!
The two full RPGs are $1 each, and the add-ons (which can be used with the free online DeScriptors RPG rules!) are Pay What You Want, so enjoy 'em free or throw us a tip. Notably, if these titles are supported and reach a certain milestone, we'll dive back into them, playtest them harder, expand them, marry them into settings like the ones we've published in DeScriptors: Realms Volume 1, and publish them in a greatly expanded form with guidance and options down the line!
