Hoard: A Collection of Almost Forgotten 12-Word RPGs
Created for the 12-Word RPG Jam, Hosted by W.H. Arthur, Rook and Role
THANK YOU!
Twelve 12-Word RPGs to bookend the wild experience of really getting into TTRPG creation this year.
Content Warning: Body Horror, Mental Health, Sexual Image (Wooden dildo)
Accessible Document will be up soon!
Dedicated to Finley; W.H. Arthur, Rook and Role, and the 12 Word RPG Jam; Huffa, Evlyn, Wendi, Sofia (and all of Secret Table); Strega, Walt (and all of Bogfolk); Alex; Justin; Roxi; Brandon; Myfawnwy; Harper; Krisse; Jam; Tony, Kegan, Sarah (and all of and everyone who’s been on Plus One Exp); Chris (and all of the Rolled Standard); and everyone who has been so supportive and inspiring.
The last two and a half months have been wild and I cannot be happier to be creating again! The way the 12-Word RPG Jam hooked into my brain and helped me start coming up with ideas and experimenting with layout and stuff has been absolutely pivotal in this process.
The last…well a long time now, but particularly the last few years have been really, really rough and I am overjoyed to be creating again, especially with it beginning with You’re a RatGirl and starting RatGrrrl Games.
This is a whole bunch of things I never got around to releasing separately or finishing. Twelve in fact…just as I feel the abyss trying to claw me back into the darkness.
Jams are great and being rating and saying something about a game makes the world of difference.

I can't stop bigots using my fucking Queer shit, but they are absolutely not welcome to it and I will call them the fuck out.
Same goes for anyone who would use anything for anything that features 'AI' 'art'. Don't fucking do it. Please and thank you.
There are oceans of public domain, creative commons, etc. free resources and countless incredible and far too reasonably priced artists out there with Patreons full of amazing art for as little as $1 a month.

In the writing of this thread, I became aware that The Paper Project used Mind Journey to create its textures. I want to acknowledge the elements I have used in my work, but I personally do not feel comfortable with using 'AI'-generated material, especially from sources like Mind Journey. 'AI' created elements are a bit different than so-called 'AI' 'art', but I will no longer be using this resource. (This is not something I am interested in debating & is for each to make their own choices)
This is discussed further in this devlog.

Wow, these 12 word games are seriously impressive! Your games were some of the ones that taught me how to really appreciate these minimalist yet profound experiences. They're a mix of a really expressive poetry with gaming, which is just awesome! Thank you for making these!
