One Page RPGs

[GMMichael]

I have decided to get involved in One Page RPG Jam 2022 and am hoping for some recommendations of great one page RPGs. . .

I don't know about "great," but here's my go-to:

FastPlayRules | Modos RPG | Obsidian Portal

Follow these steps to make a level 2 character and jump right into the game. Refer to the rulebook or Rules Catalog for the complete rules. You can use this ch

modos-rpg.obsidianportal.com

It boils down the Modos RPG rules to something players can read faster than the big book (all 80-some pages). It doesn't have the game's only table, nor any lists. Otherwise, very playable.

I understand one-page adventures, but a one-page RPG is a sort of paradox. The more rules you write, the more bland it is. The more fluff you write, the less it's a game. So, good luck!

I didn't really "get it" until I saw Lasers and Feelings. That is legit a complete RPG on one page.

I wrote one based on a common set of 1 page mechanics.

My favorite is Everyone is John. It always ends being so funny, mostly because John is just incompetent at most things and the players get to do things they would never do in a traditional RPG.
