Tumblr 200 Word RPGs

This is a sideblog for the informal 200-word RPG jams organised by @prokopetz each November.

Next Event

2026's event will run from 2026-11-01 through 2026-11-30. A link to the submission thread will be added here when the event is live.

Past Events

2025 – Tumblr thread | Offsite archive (forthcoming) 2024 – Tumblr thread | Offsite archive 2023 – Tumblr thread | Offsite archive 2022 – Tumblr thread | Offsite archive

Submission Guidelines

Each entry should be a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer. Coming in lower is fine, though you're welcome to try to hit 200 words exactly if you want an extra challenge.

This is an informal game jam; entries are not curated or judged, no eligibility rules are enforced, no winners are chosen, and the organising parties explicitly refuse to define the terms "word" or "RPG". If you wish to participate, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: If you're unfamiliar with 200-word RPGs, read a bunch of previous years' entries (linked above), or browse the 200 Word RPG Challenge archives at https://200wordrpg.github.io/ to get in the proper headspace. (Note: this blog is not affiliated with the 200 Word RPG Challenge; its archives are provided for reference only.)

Step 2: Write your own 200-word RPG. If you're not sure of your word count, you can use the counter at https://200wordrpg.github.io/wordcount to check. If you disagree with how this tool defines "word", feel free to use a different counting method – adherence to the word limit is on the honour system anyway.

Step 3: Reblog the current event's main post (linked above when an event is active) and append your 200-word RPG in the reblog. Please do not submit your entry as a reblog to the post you are reading right now.

Step 4 (optional): If you wish to provide any author's notes on your entry, please place them under a "Read More" break to make it clear which part of the post is the game and which part is commentary.

Step 5 (optional): Indicate in your post whether you're okay with having your 200-word RPG archived off-site for posterity – if you don't say anything one way or the other, we'll assume the answer is "no". Please state this separately from any more general discussion of sharing or remixing permissions; don't make us guess!

Note: In previous years, we'd requested that folks refrain from discussing entries on the submission thread in order to avoid making them hard to find. Since we have a dedicated sideblog this year, that request is not being made this time around.

[prokopetz]

A first pass at the offsite archives for this year's event. At present, this is automatically generated via Tumblr's API; the output has not been edited or corrected in any way. It is, however, up to date with whatever state your posts were in as of five minutes ago, so all recent edits should have been captured.

If you have any requests you'd like to make for your entry's inclusion – whether in terms of credits, formatting, etc. – now's the time to let me know. Likewise, now is the time to make any final edits; once I begin working on doing manual cleanup and implementing special requests in a day or two, no further edits to the source posts will be picked up.

If you don't see your entry here and expected to, yours may be one of the 18 submissions which did not explicitly grant archival permissions. As a reminder, general discussion of sharing/remixing rights and/or releasing the game under an open license does not suffice for this purpose; I don't have the bandwidth to read and vet the text of whatever random license you decided to use to make sure it permits this particular use, so you do have to directly say you're okay with it.

The list of entries which have not granted archival permission as of when I checked five minutes before making this post is as follows:

Thanks for following up, folks. At the time of this posting, the list of entries that have not granted archival permission is down to five:

3 Ritalin and a Deadline by @mrcatfishing

A STEAMPUNK PINEAPPLE by @capriceandwhimsy

If that was intentional and you want your game left out, no further action is required – this is an opt-in thing. Otherwise (i.e., if the omission was inadvertent), please adjust your author's notes accordingly; I'll be checking back in a day or so for a final roundup, so I'll see it then.

(As above, if you opted in but have any special requests for exactly how you'd like your entry's archival to be handled – e.g., anonymously, under a different name, etc. – you have until this weekend to let me know!)

This is the submission thread for the 2025 event, running from November 1st, 2025 through November 30th, 2025. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

Beyond the Door

For 2-5 players.

One player is the Child. The rest are Friends.

Prep: Cut 3 strips of paper for each Friend, on each strip of paper, write a reason you believe the Child's family is mistreating them. Do not show the strips of paper to the Child. The child takes a separate piece of paper, and writes a list of reasons they ought to love their family, three per Friend. Reasons may be superficial or grounded.

Start in a kitchen, end in a bedroom.

To start, the Child reads: "My parents have been possessed by an evil spirit, which has drawn out their most cruel tendencies. Retreat with me to my room, until it leaves." Move to the bedroom.

The Friends "Lock" the doors by taping their strips of paper across the frame. Text hidden.

Talk about the possession, this has happened before, but the Friends never saw it firsthand. The Child makes excuses, and gives Reasons they love their parents.

Whenever the Child does so, one Friend pulls a paper from the door and explains why the parents are wrong.

When all strips have been removed, The Friends have successfully removed the Child from their home, game ends.

Steady Hands done in five minutes after seeing the deadline's mercy extension a study in ideals

You are a homesteading widow. Look in the mirror and say aloud what "homesteading" means to you.

Shuffle the oldest deck of playing cards you have, the more cards missing the better.

Have a friend drive you to an outdoor gun range. On the way, ask them why they killed your spouse, and draw a card.

Red cards are mercy. Black cards are justice.

Get out of the car. Put up a paper target. Tell your friend why you and your spouse came to the "frontier." They draw a card.

Each of you staples the card they drew to the target, face concealed.

Walk to the firing line. Toss a coin.

Winner explains what "mercy" and "justice" mean to them and takes a shot at the target, then loser does the same.

Shots that miss the paper target entirely are not counted and the shooter may and must try again.

Walk to the target. Decide for yourselves what has happened.

[aristotels]

so here's my simple one lol though its a day too late, so i understand if it doesnt get accepted. T_T

WACKY LAWYERS

2-3 players a murder has been committed. you are two lawyers standing on the opposite sides. one defends the client, the other accuses.

you need: a 1 min timer, 2d6. first, create your lawayers. second, create the client and the case. just lay out the basics. each turn, one of you acts, the other reacts. next turn you swap. each of you has consequtive 1 minute to act/react, then 1 communal minute to argue.

ACT: 1 - present evidence 2 - call witness 3 - ad-hominem attack 4 - summon expert 5 - new information pops up 6 - appeal to the jury/judge

REACT: 1 - accuse 2 - deny 3 - cause a scene 4 - counter-evidence! 5 - an unexpected witness 6 - appeal to the jury/judge

it can be played with 2 people, or 3 people (lawyers + the judge). the judge can receive bribes, call lawyers out, judge based on his prejudice. the game ends when youre bored or your opponent outsmarts you (2 players version) or when the judge decides who the winner is. alternatively you can play for 8 turns and then decide if the clients guilty or innocent. be wacky and outrageous!

You Are In A Transformation Gameshow

Ideally 3+ characters (6+, end game at 5 points) Competitive

OPTIONAL: brainstorm animal/anatomy lists; add to tables. Adjust dice accordingly.

Round start: roll 1d6 on each table to get a "discard pile" transformation. Roll 1d100 for each character to get the round's turn order.

Character turn: roll 1d6 on each table to get an animal and body part. Choose between your rolled tf and the discard pile; assign chosen transformation to a DIFFERENT character.

One transformation allowed per body part slot.

-1 point for each tf of the same animal.

If a character can't give either tf option to anyone, they take both (slots depending) and the round ends.

Track transformations by character.

Last character in a round doesn't roll and gets the discard tf; roll a new transformation and turn order to start the new round.

When a character scores 10 points, finish the round: game over, lowest score wins.

|Table 1: | | | -- |-----------|----------| | 01 | ears | 1 point | | 02 | face | 3 points | | 03 | arms+hands| 3 points | | 04 | torso | 2 point | | 05 | feet+legs | 2 points | | 06 | tail | 1 points |

| Table 2: | | -- |----------| | 01 | dog | | 02 | bat | | 03 | bird | | 04 | cow | | 05 | snake | | 06 | rabbit |

The Cataclysm Was Caused By A Short-Form Roleplaying Game. . .

Hello, Agent.

If you are reading this text, our attempts to make contact were successful. Remember:

You are a personality projected back in time from the year 150 PC (Post-Cataclysm).

You have triangulated the origin of this game to a "200-Word RPG Contest" organized by David Prokopetz the year 2025 of the Pre-Cataclysm Common Era.

Due to the current Cataclysm, transmitting the rules for these games to us in clear is strictly prohibited. For that reason, you are instructed instead to send us your analysis of the games in question.

To do so:

Select an entry from the 2025 "200 Word RPGs 2025" contest. Read it in full. Contemplate the effects on society if this game were to become widespread in the general population. Write a report including: A description of the RPG. Your analysis of the danger this RPG poses. The threat rating of the RPG, rated from 1 to 5. Transmit the report to us by posting it on social media and tagging it "#2025-200-Word-RPG-Review."

The Smallest Bastards

You are tiny little rascals in a small town. You’re all bored and that is going to be everyone else’s problem.

Roll 1d4’s 

1 - things take a turn for the worst!

2 - you fail to get what you want

3 - A success with complications

4 - Everything goes great

Stats

Boredom - Do successful Wiley roles to lower or cause immediate trouble you can’t explain away

Max of 4

Wileyness - Use to get into mischief (i.e - steal cookies, sneak a raccoon into the house) - Roll Only

Audacity - Get away with things (distract an adult’s attention, or explain away your suspicious action) - lowers when caught - at zero you’re all busted

Max of 4

Archetypes

Prankster - +1 to wiley rolls

Boredom: 2

Audacity: 4

Angel - +1 to Audacity

Boredom: 2

Audacity: 4

Wizkid - 1 free wileyness success with technology per scene

Boredom: 2

Audacity: 4

Lil Kid - Max boredom at start but 2 free Audacity checks

Boredom:4

Audacity: 4

Sessions are structured like episodes

Location changes are scene changes.

Must have a moral at the end.

The game ends prematurely if you all get busted. You’re all grounded.

One more down at the wire. This one is not as polished as Unwanted Vip but I wanted to get it out of my system. The Smallest Bastards is themed after old shows and movies like The Little Rascals and Dennis the Menace. It should keep the tone light with comedy based on all sort of hijinks bored little kids can get into.

This one is also okay to archive!

FUCK/MARRY/KILL - THREE PLAYERS ENTER, ONE PLAYER LEAVES

Each player secretly distributes seven points however they want in their three stats: FUCK, MARRY, and KILL. FUCK governs immediate non-combat actions, MARRY governs long-term non-combat actions, and KILL governs combat.

Players roleplay conflict between their characters, and whenever two players agree that their interaction falls under one particular stat, the third player rolls a d6. If a player in conflict has their stat above the roll of the d6, they gain one point in that stat. If their stat is lower than the roll, they lose one point. A draw does nothing. A player wins when one of their stats reaches 10, or is out of the game when two of their stats fall to zero. At no point other than victory or loss are players allowed to explicitly reveal any of their stats.

Archiving off-site is okay, and everyone who wants to play is encouraged to fiddle around with any of the numbers if playtesting feels unbalanced: I literally came up with this entire thing over the last 15 minutes.
