So cool to see Gentleman Bandit included in this roundup of micro-games! Love love love Barclay & Bee's book club concept ... what a genius conceit to learn about and share all the amazing games out there ✨

Tabletop Book Club@tabletopbookclub.bsky.social · 4d ago

This month, we read a series of "micro-games", which is only in quotes because we technically don't think one of them qualifies, but it's easier than saying "micro-games and also a one-pager". Open this thread for the full list because there are 6 of them!

"If The Odyssey made you want to play a game, it's probably Agon that's gonna scratch that itch." -- Judd Karlman. Couldn't ask for a better endorsement! Jump in to mythic adventures with a game all about epic deeds. Grab the book from the Evil Hat website, or the PDF here: johnharper.itch.io/agon

Sometimes Mitchell looks like a shorty, but he's actually a long boi. #caturday

Mitchell, a white and gray tuxedo cat with a black nose, is wearing a purple bandana and looking at the camera with a cute expression. The camera angle makes it look like he's very small.

Annihilation is about a summer in a beautiful wilderness on the coast that brings four strangers closer together as they work for a crusty old lighthouse keeper.

So I saw this post like 3 times so I'm going to put it in my holds queue at the library. Otherwise I'm going to forget. I don't know really what it's about, but the cover art struck me and I need audio to drown out my coworkers. I hope it's as good as it looks

Ride or Die challenges are (usually) resolved with one-roll, ranking all the participants' outcomes before each player narrates their action and consequences in the challenge.

A layout spread rendered in orange and purple sunset colors, illustrating the various outcomes of a challenge roll, from a "slammed" driver getting blown up by a rocket to a hero car smashing through an attack helicopter in mid air.

John Harper@johnharper.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Ride or Die is pretty minimalist in its rules, so I'm going maximalist in presentation. Having way too much fun. :)

A 2-page spread from Ride or Die, showing a synopsis of the system for Heists. The art depicts a crew of Drivers pulling off a heist on a moving train at night, while fighting the cops. One car is descending via parachute and another is driving full tilt across the top of the train cars. Other characters are embroiled in a gunfight.
