Free this week: The Great Goblin Bake Off, a self-described shitpost RPG
A Prepless Shitpost Game about Baking Goblins
Definitely sounds like one of Grant Howitt's mad one-page RPGs, looks like a fun one-shot!
You are a little goblin with a love of baking and big dreams. Dreams of joining the competitive baking circuit and taking home the grand prize: the golden cupcake and a lifetime supply of sprinkles. You’ve spent years perfecting your technique and studying recipes and you know you are ready. There is only one problem: the competition is only for humans.
Refusing to give up on your dream, you gather a group of your fellow baking enthusiasts and hatch a plan to enter the bake off: a human disguise. Over many hours you created the disguise and crafted a rock-solid identity for your human alias and you have just received word from bake off officials that you have been accepted into the competition! Together, you don the human disguise and make your way to the competition, knowing that you are going to win - by any means necessary.
The Great Goblin Bake Off is a prepless games about goblins infiltrating a baking competition for 1 GM and up to 5 players. It is played with 1d6 and two stats (GOBLIN and BAKER). Game text includes character creation tables for players and NPC and complication tables for the GM.
Cute idea, but I really don't find this kind of ultra light 1d6 and two stats mechanic fun. I'd rather use Fate
This sounds cute, but I'll admit I was disappointed to find out it's not actually about a great goblin bakeoff.
Convincing people to download a game for which there are not even any screenshots is a tough sell
Screenshot? It's a one page RPG. All the content fits in a single piece of paper. Back in the photocopy days that often meant front and back.
This is a tabletop/pen-and-paper RPG, not a video game!
It’s still a valid criticism. Show a little teaser for the product. Not everyone is willing to sign into another website to download a random game based on a couple paragraphs. Even honey heist has a teaser image: https://rowanrookanddecard.com/product/honey-heist/
It's a 3 page PDF, a screen shot would be most of the game.
