The 3 micro-TTRPGs can be played together in 2-4 hours, or played individually in about 30-60 minutes each. #ttrpg

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?
