This game is a head-on crash into a world on the verge of collapse. Players take the roles of survivors fighting to save everything they have ever loved or villains hell-bent on bringing the Earth to its knees. There are no dice, there are no cards. Each character has a reserve of points they can allocate to the tasks they want to undertake but they better spend them wisely because when a volcano erupts in the middle of their neighborhood, they’re going to need all the points they can get just to escape with their lives. It’s short and sweet and was created in under 10 hours by an elementary school kid with passion for catastrophes.
Just when the people needed a hero the most, a mysterious figure appeared. The iron fist of oppression is beginning to tremble with fear and frustration and the downtrodden citizens are lifting their heads for the first time in years. They are looking up to see if they can catch a glimpse of that masked marvel that has changed everything, given them hope and allowed them to dream again. They may never know the truth about the phantom stranger. They may never find out about the dedicated team of concerned citizens who have banned together to create a mythic icon greater than themselves. You will play the part of one of those brave souls. You will don the disguise when the time is right and do what you do best. United, you and your trusty team of talented nobodies will rock the foundations of a cruel and corrupt society and you will do it with one mask!
Magic Pants vs. Power Squid! is a 24 hour rpg for Rob Lang’s contest. It is a simple low level supers rpg where gear and motivation are as important as stats. The right pants can save the world!
Did you ever wonder why superheroes wear their underwear on the outside? Are they in too much of a hurry to dress properly? Or maybe they’re confident enough to be flashy? The truth is that their underwear is the secret of their power. A mysterious individual, known only as Keeton, has discovered how to make what he calls Magic Pants. They give the wearer powers beyond what normal people could achieve otherwise. He has also learned how to make masks, capes, and shoes, but every super hero needs Magic Pants. He gives these items to a select few willing to take up the fight against evil and those who try to tear down society. In this game, you are one of those lucky few.
Tunnel Wars is a simple, easy to play game about subterranean combat in magic pants made of copper.
In Tunnel Wars, you play as either a dwarf or a goblin on opposite sides of the decades long Copper War.
It isn’t a serious game by any measure of the word “serious,” and this was a first attempt at a 24 hour RPG, but it’s probably playable.

No, really, that’s actually what the game is about
The Penguin Harlequinade is a fast-paced comic role-playing game based on Commedia dell’Arte, an ancient Italian style of masked comedy theatre. The game focusses on ludicrous plans, ridiculous plots and very silly action. If you don’t mind playing a character with the mental attributes of a brain-damaged ant high on caffeine, you’ll really enjoy this unique game.
First, a disclaimer. There are no penguins in this game. Or at least, we have run many sessions of it in multiple tournaments, and there are yet to be any penguins.
The source of the name was as follows: we were going to a tournament in Wellington called KapCon. We needed a name for this new system we’d come up with, and we were stumped. Eventually one or other of us came up with “The Penguin Harlequinade” because there are penguins in Dunedin (where we’re from) and not in Wellington; and because the system was designed as a Commedia Dell’Arte system and the Commedia was called a Harlequinade in England.
If you really want to play a game with penguins in it, look out for The Penguin Masquerade, a forthcoming game which we have yet to write. Its premise is simple – you’re a penguin, just keep it under your hat…

Where you are the movie STARS and the WRITER-DIRECTOR
Of the many Adventure B-Movies of Oblivion
Movies that never were, but that you would have loved to see.
Enjoy them during college, your coffee break, when you can’t sleep on the phone, while you’re on the bus, or just when there’s nothing on TV.
This is a little RPG I came up with while I was suffering a bout of insomnia. It is an attempt to create a fun, simple arena-style combat game that is supposed to be a 1/2 day diversion while the DM makes an adventure. This has been slightly playtested, but if you think values should be changed or some rules should be modified, PLEASE contact me at illiriks@gmail.com as I really want to improve this game.
Appliance Adventures is a narrative role playing game where the players take on the role of intelligent kitchen appliances. The game emphasizes teamwork and exploration over combat.
This is arguably a playable game, but it doesn’t look very good. There is much missing from this first draft: graphics, fit & finish, a fleshed-out sample adventure, and a Narrator’s section.
The world of Appliance Adventures is very similar to our own world, advanced fifteen years into the future. Science has made great strides in the field of simulated intelligence. True artificial intelligence beyond the level of simple animals has evaded researchers to this point, but futurists and pundits (ever a reliable source) think that it is right around the corner.
In the cities of the future, people who find themselves with no place within society because of unemployment, criminal behaviour, or just mental illness find themselves pushed out of the domes that protect them from the hazards of the world around them. And since no one wants to live outside the domes, they move into the one place left for them into the superstructure of the dome itself.
The game is a cyberpunk-styled RPG where the players take on the roles of the gnomes the descendents in culture if not genetics of those people who moved into the superstructure of the domes. This is a world that is entirely off the grid. They have to scavenge for everything from food to water and in some domes even for air.
Geodesic Gnomes is a full RPG – setting, character creation rules, physical, social and political conflict resolution mechanics, a unique equipment system, character sheet and even a multiple scene adventure to play through for your first game to get into the setting and game.
The End of Everything
Since the day the world ended, maybe the multiverse hasn’t finished with you. Some of you claim to know, but who’s to say, really? Whatever the case, as the cold closed in, each of you reached out, from some resource you never knew you had, for any way to go on. Your world died, but you coursed elsewhere, scattered around a happy and unsuspecting new variant with different lives and different names. Over the years, you found each other, those who wanted to be found, and another thing: a purpose.
Players take the roles of refugees from a destroyed universe – not destroyed by accident: they’ve come to realise that the consumption of their world and countless others fueled the establishment of a far distant utopia, a place of endless spring and the best of good fortune. What the players choose to do in this green January, if they ever find it, is up to them.
