New serial novel coming soon! Trans-Continental: Cannon Belle Run

Nine years. NINE YEARS. It’s been nine years since I published Trans-Continental: Mississippi Queen. Eleven years since I wrote Trans-Continental: Girl in the Gears. I’ve wanted to do this book all that time. I have made several outlines, had several brainstorming sessions, and even had a false start with a first chapter a few years ago. All ended up fizzling out, or being eclipsed by a newer,…

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

When All You Have is a Gun Everything Looks [Verb]able

Requires several players and a GM

Players:

Before the GM tells you what the plot/tone/setting/etc of the game is going to be, make the most Rule of Cool DeviantArt-OC-ass character you can think of and give them a revolver with six chambers. They should be named something like Saint Vermillion Dragongod or some dope shit like that.

Load this revolver with six actions, things like “kill someone” or “schmooze” or “teleport behind ‘em.” Besides moving around, talking, and breathing, these are the ONLY actions you can take, and you can only take them in the order they fill the chambers. When you’ve taken all six actions, you can reload your actions in any order you’d like, but you CANNOT change the actions themselves.

Do not coordinate your action choices with other players.

GM:

Once everyone has made their characters, throw them into a heist or a dungeon crawl or whatever you think will be funny. Their specific actions always succeed, but they can do literally nothing but those things in that order. If no one can do anything, you all lose and a big snake eats the sun or something. Rinse and repeat.

Good fucking luck.
