A few times, I’ve been inspired to write a micro RPG directly on twitter. Given the slow death of the platform, I wanted to preserve them here.

Costumes, a 364-day RPG

Costumes, a 364-day RPG

What kind of monster are you?

Which of your monstrous features is the most visible? Which are you most proud of? Which are you most ashamed of?

For each, how do you painfully, uncomfortably, or tediously remove or hide them to appear human?

Example of play:

I’m a harpy. My most visible and proud features are my feathers, which let me soar through the sky. I am ashamed of my voice, which is harsh and painful to hear.

Every week I meticulously pluck any newly-growing feathers, and I lower my voice to a barely audible whisper.

Slime Rancher RPG

Slime Rancher RPG: A. Get a random adjective, this a slime you just discovered. B. Write a letter to your distant partner about it, and how your ranch is doing! C. Roll a die for how long until you write your next letter. 1: Day 2: 3 days 3: Week 4: Month 5: Season 6: Year Repeat

Appendices: Here’s a random adjective generator: https://randomwordgenerator.com/adjective.php

“Physically distant or emotionally distant?” How good are you at telling the difference?

Appendix C: Maybe draw a sketch of your newly discovered slime with your letter, maybe interacting with other slimes on your ranch?

Appendix D: Your new slime type doesn’t have to be a new species, ie a Chief Slime might just be one slime the others listen to. With a cute hat.

Examples of play:

Example of a letter written in a notebook describing finding a "Dependant Slime" on Day 1 Example of a letter written in a notebook describing finding a "Reflective Slime" on Day 8
