Horror journalling game, PT style,

Roll a dice pool for each time u enter the hallway. Any dice that rolls a 6 gets "locked," & u answer a sequential prompt about your "big regret"

No sixes? A random event occurs instead.

Once u "lock" all your dice, the "monster" finds u,

I never have more than two projects going at a time if I can help it. Usually the bigger project & something small to keep me from burning out on the prior.

I always try to finish what I start, though, any ideas I have in the inbetween get shoved in a drawer (or in #badttrpgidea) until I get to it,

You start as a single arm, dragging along.

As you explore the dungeon, you can find the body parts of old adventurers.

Each has a descriptor that you use to invent a single ability (strong = punch)

You can even lose old pieces to get better ones to fight the many monsters.

You're royalty w 5 regions in your kingdom.

Each region makes a diff key resource, which you can redistribute.

Random events impact how much you get.

You can upgrade regions, roll up & fulfill random requests from civilians & outer rivals,

Keep folks happy, don't go broke.

Hot damn this thing kinda popped off,

The #badttrpgidea series is all free to pursue btw; if you like an idea, take it!
#badttrpgidea

You're a hoarder in a post-apocalypse world, journeying between towns, trying to survive against bandits, exploring old ruins, etc.

There's no stats, no skills. If you want any bonuses on dice rolls, you can dig through your irl junk drawer to find something that may help.

Chris actually took one of my #badttrpgidea prompts and made something not at all bad!! Quite good, in fact!

This is super neat, I can feel the enjoyment and passion had while making this!

You replay the last day for a family before a terrible tragedy strikes. play through each family member's final 24hrs went before their lives were cut short.

Uses a card deck for events, and drawing a face card = a keystone event, something that affects all family members,

One of those mecha transformer games like B.R.A.S.S. but before cars were a thing,

A giant robot having to keep his horses alive so when he turns back into a wagon, they'll hook up and carry him along,

A penny farthing wheeling itself down the street with a roman chariot alongside.

Seen a lot of IRL observe journal games lately,

Inspired by that: imagine u have a squad of smol stick figure operatives,

Your job is to deploy them in your house at timed intervals, gaining points w more risky placements,

Place as many as u can before your housemates notice,

Search history too clean? I've got you!

You play a crime journalist solving a murder, the 52 card deck is full of topics for you to research IRL & interpret cryptic clues.

You do a prompt each day, Mon-Fri. Saturday you sit down & piece everything together to solve your case,

Something meta. You play as a pre-existing person, (we'll call him Jim). Jim already has a life, friends, family, before you barge in & take hold of his body.

They all know *something* is not right about Jim, & you need to blend in & fight Jim's attempts to get his body back.

You're an adventurer with a very bad magic cough.

When you roll a 7, 14 or 20 on a d20, your pc has a coughing fit, causing chaos

Your goal is to collect ingredients to make a honey lemon tea & soothe your goddamn throat,

I am not venting about my own persistent cough no way

A journalling solo-rpg where you're just a nobody at a intergalactic bus-stop with nowhere to go but no reason to stay.

Draw cards from a deck to see which entities pass by, write out interactions, and gather quarters to buy a ticket.

Big lo-fi vibes, big introspection,
