so here's my simple one lol though its a day too late, so i understand if it doesnt get accepted. T_T

WACKY LAWYERS

2-3 players
a murder has been committed. you are two lawyers standing on the opposite sides. one defends the client, the other accuses.

you need: a 1 min timer, 2d6.
first, create your lawayers. second, create the client and the case. just lay out the basics.
each turn, one of you acts, the other reacts. next turn you swap.
each of you has consequtive 1 minute to act/react, then 1 communal minute to argue.

ACT:
1 - present evidence
2 - call witness
3 - ad-hominem attack
4 - summon expert
5 - new information pops up
6 - appeal to the jury/judge

REACT:
1 - accuse
2 - deny
3 - cause a scene
4 - counter-evidence!
5 - an unexpected witness
6 - appeal to the jury/judge

it can be played with 2 people, or 3 people (lawyers + the judge). the judge can receive bribes, call lawyers out, judge based on his prejudice.
the game ends when youre bored or your opponent outsmarts you (2 players version) or when the judge decides who the winner is. alternatively you can play for 8 turns and then decide if the clients guilty or innocent.
be wacky and outrageous!

You Are In A Transformation Gameshow

Ideally 3+ characters (6+, end game at 5 points)
Competitive

OPTIONAL: brainstorm animal/anatomy lists; add to tables. Adjust dice accordingly.

Round start: roll 1d6 on each table to get a "discard pile" transformation. Roll 1d100 for each character to get the round's turn order.

Character turn: roll 1d6 on each table to get an animal and body part. Choose between your rolled tf and the discard pile; assign chosen transformation to a DIFFERENT character.

• One transformation allowed per body part slot.
• -1 point for each tf of the same animal.
• If a character can't give either tf option to anyone, they take both (slots depending) and the round ends.
• Track transformations by character.

Last character in a round doesn't roll and gets the discard tf; roll a new transformation and turn order to start the new round.

When a character scores 10 points, finish the round: game over, lowest score wins.

|Table 1: | |
| -- |-----------|----------|
| 01 | ears | 1 point |
| 02 | face | 3 points |
| 03 | arms+hands| 3 points |
| 04 | torso | 2 point |
| 05 | feet+legs | 2 points |
| 06 | tail | 1 points |

| Table 2: |
| -- |----------|
| 01 | dog |
| 02 | bat |
| 03 | bird |
| 04 | cow |
| 05 | snake |
| 06 | rabbit |

Hello, Agent.

If you are reading this text, our attempts to make contact were successful. Remember:

1. You are a personality projected back in time from the year 150 PC (Post-Cataclysm).
2. The Cataclysm was caused by societal upheaval prompted by the rapid expansion in popularity of a short-form piece of improvised entertainment known as a "200-Word Roleplaying Game."
3. You have triangulated the origin of this game to a "200-Word RPG Contest" organized by David Prokopetz the year 2025 of the Pre-Cataclysm Common Era.

Due to the current Cataclysm, transmitting the rules for these games to us in clear is strictly prohibited. For that reason, you are instructed instead to send us your analysis of the games in question.

To do so:

Read it in full.

Contemplate the effects on society if this game were to become widespread in the general population.

Write a report including:
A description of the RPG.
Your analysis of the danger this RPG poses.

Transmit the report to us by posting it on social media and tagging it "#2025-200-Word-RPG-Review."

Good luck. We're counting on you.

The Smallest Bastards

You are tiny little rascals in a small town. You’re all bored and that is going to be everyone else’s problem.

Roll 1d4’s

• 3 - A success with complications
• 4 - Everything goes great

• Max of 4
• Wileyness - Use to get into mischief (i.e - steal cookies, sneak a raccoon into the house) - Roll Only
• Audacity - Get away with things (distract an adult’s attention, or explain away your suspicious action) - lowers when caught - at zero you’re all busted
• Max of 4

Sessions are structured like episodes

Location changes are scene changes.

Must have a moral at the end.

The game ends prematurely if you all get busted. You’re all grounded.

FUCK/MARRY/KILL - THREE PLAYERS ENTER, ONE PLAYER LEAVES

Each player secretly distributes seven points however they want in their three stats: FUCK, MARRY, and KILL. FUCK governs immediate non-combat actions, MARRY governs long-term non-combat actions, and KILL governs combat.

Players roleplay conflict between their characters, and whenever two players agree that their interaction falls under one particular stat, the third player rolls a d6. If a player in conflict has their stat above the roll of the d6, they gain one point in that stat. If their stat is lower than the roll, they lose one point. A draw does nothing. A player wins when one of their stats reaches 10, or is out of the game when two of their stats fall to zero. At no point other than victory or loss are players allowed to explicitly reveal any of their stats.

You walk into the bedroom. There is an odd creature, one you haven't seen before there. Of course, you recognize it as a cat.

Do you:

1. Hold out a hand for the cat to sniff?

2. Walk away?

If you held out a hand, you may approach the bed and pet the cat. If not, return to your kitchen and eat a bowl of soup.

It's bedtime.

Do you:

1. Pet the cat?

2. Walk away?

If you pet the cat, snuggle the cat until you fall asleep. If you walked away, sleep on the couch and wake up with a cat staring at you.

You are awake. The cat is meowing for food. Approach the cat. Say, “You're not mine.”

The cat blinks at you, unimpressed. Find a can of tuna in the back of the cupboard. Open it up.

“Meow!”

Return to the last question.

If you pet the cat, they start eating comfortably and then they purr and headbutt you. If you walk away, they meow in protest and follow you around the room for a while before going back to eat.

You are exhausted — you didn't get enough rest. Climb back into bed. The cat follows you to sleep.

Getting Really Into Flying Fantasy Wizard Cards

(Hereafter FFWC)

:red: 1

HOW TO USE:
-During this quest/game, your character is really into FFWC.
-When you gain "quest XP", fill in one of the 20 boxes.
-When all the boxes are filled out, the quest/game ends. FFWC may still be an exciting part of your life, but it's not new anymore.

[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

Major Goals: The HG or other gaming authority can award you 5 quest XP when:

[ ] You bond over FFWC with someone formerly hostile

[ ] You think FFWC has real magic, but it turns out to be a trick

You can earn each of these bonuses once.

Quest Flavor: 1/chapter, or 4/session if "chapters" aren't a relevant concept in your game, or as much as the other players permit if "sessions" aren't relevant, or as much as you permit if you're playing alone, you may earn 1 quest XP through:

:gold: :purple: Attempting to get other people to play FFWC
:gold: Talking about FFWC strategy or lore to people who truly do not care
:blue: Declaring flawless victory at something, possibly prematurely
:silver: :green: Dreaming of snakes made of cards

Also, if you're out of ideas for a scene, you can propose one of these.

They Don’t Even Kiss

(2 Players, 1 Viewer)

At first, of course, we are certain; they're not going to kiss, because explicit homoromanticism does not happen in box office hits. But as the night goes on, we are drawn into the world of the film, our hopes soar high, and by the end pathos sprouts like invasive ivy and ironic outrage turns genuine.

Players, determine who you're playing as, and pick someone to be Player 1 first. Viewer, you need only be yourself.

First, Player 1 performs a gesture of affection to Player 2. (A touch, a gift, a sacrifice, some words - but always less than a kiss.) They explain its position and role in the movie.

Then, Player 2, determine a reason that they're just friends. Of course, they can't say it out loud, because that would mean acknowledging the romantic reading. Thus, Player 2 must communicate this meaning to the Viewer via charades until they guess correctly.

If the Viewer has a conniption, or verbally asks that the characters kiss, they are kicked out of the theater. The game ends.

Otherwise, the Players switch who's Player 1 and who's Player 2, and repeat. (They don't switch characters.)

700-Word Death Game (700WDG)

Requirements: 2 teams, 1d20, 1d8, 1d12, writing supplies.

Play: 3 duels + 1 final stand-off. First, establish setting: eg. samurai duel, pillow fight, intergalactic war, intergalactic samurai pillow fight…

Duel:
Teams roll 1d20. Higher number is "Prepared", receives 1d20. Lower number is "Unprepared", receives 1d12.
Teams write 50-word backstories (training, history, etc…).
Both roll. Highest score wins, unless Prepared team rolls ≥5x the Unprepared team: then, Prepared loses.
Winner writes 100 words describing their victory, loser writes 100 words describing their failure, eg. psychological weakness, sneezing as the swords collided…
Loser rolls 1d8. If <4, victor meets an unhappy end. Otherwise, a happy end. Loser describes this in 50 words-which the victor subverts in 50.
Repeat 3 times with different characters.

Final Showdown:
After 3 duels, overall winner receives 1d20, while loser receives 1d8. Both characters from previous duels.
Both roll, highest wins.
Loser describes the showdown's first half in 100 words, while the winner describes the second + ending in 100.

Eventually, each team has 700 words, and hopefully ideas for more words.

A condensed version is played with one duel, or 200 words.
