One-Page RPG: Bundle Volume 4, 2024 Edition

In 2016, Grant Howitt decided – flippantly – to write a one-page roleplaying game every month and release it for free online. Little did he know that the barely-intelligible pen-and-ink scratches he turned out would go on to define his career, and the shape of roleplaying games, for years to come.

Played by thousands of people all over the world, Grant’s one-page games run the gamut from strange to silly, daft to deadly serious, and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing.

Each volume contains (at least!) 13 games in their original single-page format, complete with SECRET BACK PAGE material for every game that’s never been released online. Plus, where relevant, the longer games Grant and his collaborators have released are printed in full- colour, saddle-stitched booklets.

Each game has been written, illustrated (sorry) and laid out entirely by Grant, unless someone else helped him, in which case it says so.

As of 2024, all these volumes come in US Letter size, in a sturdy cardboard folder with a spine.
