Do NOT sleep on this no-prep horror game. @planetsmashergames.bsky.social created a clever way to roleplay a single-narrator Lovecraftian story. Watch my narrator slowly lose himself and his beloved city to an unknown horror. Crawling Chaos Horror RPG (1 player, 4 GMs) One Shot

Me and a couple of chums played our first game of #SpaceGits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social last night. It was *a lot* of fun! We decided a paper mat would add to the chaos, and it led to lots of crease-based comedy (mainly crease=buttcrack jokes). Also, I lost
An Ork and a Digga clash near some barrels. Their stacked dice towers represent how drunk/injured each mini is An Ork surveys the battlefield, surrounded by loot tokens (beer bottle tops) Judge Dredd the Ork enters the arena! We used him to represent that time was up and Orks could no longer be booted back onto their feet. Around him, Orks stand by their dice stacks and in the verrry far distance you can see my scabby elbow

First purchase on the day last week was The Crawling Chaos from the excellent @planetsmashergames.bsky.social and as recommended to me on the drive to Expo by @jaydekker.bsky.social. A reversal of form with one player and a number of GMs describing your Narrator's descent towards madness or death.
Cover for the Crawling Chaos RPG featuring a slithering tentacled and toothsome shoggoth. I MAKE BOUTIQUE GAMES FOR THE HIGHLY-EVOLVED TABLETOP GAMER THE CRAWLING CHaÖ S A ROLEPLAYING GAME OF WEIRD DEMISES A Lovecraftian story game that actually feels, like a Lovecraft story. The Crawling Chaos is a zero-prep roleplaying game that lets you invent short macabre tales of weird horror in which a lone narrator is drawn into a web of esoteric and obscure mysteries until their curiosity leads them to an eldritch doom. Play with 2-5 players, or by yourself with the included solo rules, The Crawling Chaos inverts the traditional format of roleplaying games. The game moderator controls a single character - the narrator - against whom the players, acting as the world and the incidental characters, throw incidents, inevitable and grisly doom accidents and unpleasantnesses in an attempt to propel them towards an ‣ Story game for I-5 players, I-2 hours. zero-prep. ‣ Create tales of weird horror with your friends. ‣ One player is the Narrator, speaking always in first person The others play as Architects, spending points to introduce characters, incidents and threats to which the narrator reacts and responds. Solo rules for either spoken or written play. Huge host of random tables to keep your imaginations firing. 97818380face Haul of books from last week's YK Games Expo.

Some say he once lapped Fury Road in reverse and that he parallel parked into a war zone… All we know is, he's called #TheStig. Stoic, savage, and always on pole - he is the tame racing driver of #Gaslands.

Multiple shots of the Hot Wheels Jaguar Mk1 from the 2025 release. The car is painted in white primer and is well armed. The roof mounted harpoon pulls rivals onto the grenade-tipped lance. A multi-tube launcher lobs volatile explosives high into the air. The trunk mounted oil slick dropper dissuades tailgaters. Additional photos and angles of The Stig.

Played the quick start rules for space gitz with a mate. It's a barrel of laughs and can't wait for the Kickstarter to come through! All games featuring Orks should be this fun, chaotic and kitbash friendly.
A photo of three orks during a game of space gitz. One of them has a giant tower of dice in the foreground, while in the background another ork has a slightly smaller tower while the final skulks around unsure what to do. Photo of a game of space gitz, where one player is attempting to move an Ork with their corresponding tower of dice without knocking them over. In the foreground there are Orks with varying towers of dice.

I set myself an hour after work today to come up with something based on Mike's riot dice rules.

Presenting:

*Mugs & Managers* A dexterity brawl across a cluttered office desk. Balance dice. Flick erasers at each other. Sabotage your coworkers. First to escape the grind wins.

If you make or are thinking of making TTRPGs, give this a back. Nathan’s clarity of thought around game design has been an inspiration to me for years.

Mike Hutchinson is one of the most innovative designers around, and he’s turned his eye on Cthulhu Mythos role playing. This looks like a ton of fun, in which the players don’t investigate the horror, they inflict it.

Full disclosure: @planetsmashergames.bsky.social complimented my work, so I checked out their project and am really digging it. Love a one-player, many-GM setup, and it feels like it's giving me a window into someone else's head, which is my fav kind of zine.
