You are members of a musical performance troupe who inhabit a bizarre, anachronistic, semi-industrial fantasy realm. You have a rival group, the WIZARDS OF FILTH. They're better-looking, more popular and far more talented that you. Man, you hate those guys! You've learned that the WoF plan a spectacular caper, and you've decided to beat them to it or die trying. A rules-light, card-based RPG where fantasy fables meet rock and roll. Complete with soundtrack from Pure Filth.

You are members of the Meerkat Mob--which is exactly what it sounds like. Light rules, heavy on player narration, with a simple, universal d12 mechanic. The Animal Kingdom is a lot like ours, but with fewer cars, guns, and pants. But it's got criminals, too. As meerkat mobsters you'll attempt get-rich capers while dealing with other gangs and avoiding the K-9 cops. Easily adaptable for play with all other kinds of animals, too. Complete with a Capers Table and brief guide to the animal city of Furmingham!

You are the Dragon Bitches, a team of dragon-riding badasses who fight giant monsters, fend off alien invasions, destroy demons, and otherwise defend humanity. You have short fuses and bad habits, but that doesn't stop you from saving the world. A simple, one-page, very rules lite roleplaying game for off-nights and fill-ins. Are you a bad enough bitch to handle it?

A rules-light game about religious dissenters in Restoration England. King Charles II is on the throne, and the puritan heyday of Cromwell is over. But some fanatics will not give up! Players create holy warriors on the fringes of extreme belief and guide them through nefarious (and sometimes murderous) plots to discredit and intimidate the government and established church. Most will be caught and executed, but some may sail away to establish a colony of their own. Broadly compatible with Odd-like and OSR games.

In this simple, laid-back game, you create a Poet and write short poems with random themes and words. Everyone takes turns reading their poems and voting for the best one, staying in character all the while. But you can't vote for yourself, so write to entertain! You don't need to know anything about poetry (or even like it) to play, but if you're a poet, you can take your game to the next level. And of course, if you like, you can do it without all the roleplaying (you weirdo).
