Many of you already know about this, but at Animalball, we decided a few years ago to give all our games away for free download. So just a reminder, if you want to, feel free to download and enjoy any of these games:
Instant Game, by Mike and Kyle Jones: Instant Game is the completely random gaming system through which the players and gamemaster determine the genre, setting, location and plot of the game at the beginning of each session. Years in development, the full version of Instant Game comes with all the rules for creating and playing a campaign, and has the full charts for creating every aspect of your game session, including optional tables for villains, major NPCs, personality traits and more.
Animalball Melee, by Mike Jones: Animalball Melee is a simplified d20 combat engine for quick and easy gladiator fighting. While it can be used for a full-fledged roleplaying campaign, Animalball Melee is intended for one-shot, pick-up-and-play combats. An homage to the Fanatasy Trip's original game, Melee, Animalball Melee is takes the d20 combat system and boils it down to its bare essentials to streamline combat.
Sandbox Hill, by Kyle Jones: Sandbox Hill is an 18 page simulation/wargame of the simplest variety. Get your army men, get your rubber bands and be prepared for a fall-down drag-out war that may take the whole weekend.
50 Random Bar Encounters, by Mike and Kyle Jones: Developed under the OGL, 50 Bar Encounters is exactly what the name says- 50 encounters to use in your D&D or fantasy campaign. Each encounter is a brief, short encounter to throw into your existing campaign, so short and entertaining, others deadly serious which can be expanded into entire sidequests if desired.
The Steadfast Shield, by Caz Granberg: Developed under the OGL, the Steadfast Shield is a 32 page, beginner level adventure for four to six characters. With full maps and descriptions, the Steadfast Shield is a great intro-level adventure for use with 3.5.
These are just the most popular games, as discussed every week on our podcast, there's even more free games on our games page.
