Classic Never Goes Out of Style This is the best version of Deadlands Classic, with art lovingly re-colored by top artists! Deadlands Classic was an innovative RPG in the ’90s. The poker-inspired mechanics enhanced game play because of their iconic representation in the American West. It won every major award the industry had to offer and then some! Here are a few reminders about the Classic Deadlands rules: A standard deck of playing cards with the Jokers left in is used for initiative, as well as for hucksters to “deal with the devil” or the Marshal to determine the outcome of your character’s transition to Harrowed. You even use a deck of cards to build your character! Hope you come up better’n Aces, pardner… A set of poker chips in white, red, and blue mixed in a “Fate Pot” are drawn blind by players and Marshal alike, and when spent, they go back into the pot. You gotta work for those Legend chips… Dice? Deadlands Classic uses ALL of them. And lots of them. It’s not uncommon to need five or six sets of dice from d4 to d20. And yes, they Ace! When you roll more “1s” than anything else, you go “bust” and your character fails catastrophically. Rolling the bones is not always a metaphor in this game… Part of the character build process is to figure out what scares your sodbuster the most. Your Worst Nightmare can most certainly come true! “Wind” is a derived statistic used rather like hit points. Wounds knock you down a few pegs… The Game Master is called the Marshal, and the characters the posse. Some things have stayed the same! Deadlands Classic also uses Traits, Edges, and Hindrances! One book has all the information needed to play. Players and Marshals read the front and the Marshal reads the last half to figure out what makes the West so Weird. This book does not require Savage Worlds or Deadlands Reloaded to play.

You’ll venture via uncanny passages to Summersisle, home of the humans, on the eve of their greatest tragedy.

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. This pack includes 13 main games and 13 back pages, which are: THE WITCH IS DEAD, where you play murderous woodland animals attempting to gain revenge for the death of their mistress. Back Page: LITTLE HELPERS, in which you play demons accidentally summoned by a good witch and now must help her go on a date to the county fair using only your nightmare hell-magicks THE GOLDEN SEA, a D20 game of traders and mystics setting sail across a trackless ocean of sand Back Page: Additional material for The Golden Sea, including equipment, portents, encounter tables and Upsearchings, crystalline miracles from the Goddesses that grow up from beneath the dunes WE THREE KINGS, in which you play the three dudes from the bible and stop King Herod’s plot to kill the baby Jesus with swordplay, necromancy and two-fisted sorcery Back Page: THREE KINGS’ HILL, an unrelated fantasy dungeon that nevertheless contains an eye the size of a small house ADVENTURE DICE, a simple numberless storytelling game for kids, which includes special dice to cut out and colour in Back Page: An adventurer generator for Adventure Dice, or really any fantasy game WE THAT REMAIN, a survival horror game played with a single deck of cards, in which you will all probably die Back Page: A map of the Space Station Elysium, designed for use with We That Remain, that details an abandoned space colony that accidentally opened a portal into Hades HONEY HEIST, a game in which you are a criminal bear with two stats: CRIMINAL and BEAR; also contains an optional D8 hat table Back Page: 36 spells for Honey Heist, including Summon Chandelier, Summon Mexican Standoff, and Jesus Take The Wheel (or: Summon Jesus) BIG GAY ORCS, a game in which you play a load of orcs trapped in a doomed fortress, and generally make out a bunch Back Page: SAD GAY SPACE ROCKS, a hack of Big Gay Orcs, which emulates the Steven Universe Cartoon JUSTIFIED ANXIETY, a game set in a suspiciously familiar paranoid dystopia where you shoot trouble for Companion Machine Back Page: TRUE PARANOIA, a game which involves dumping all your dice in a pile in the middle of the table and punishing your players whenever they dare to touch them THE RAPID AND THE RIGHTEOUS, a fast and furious game about living your life a quarter-mile at a time Back Page: SPIN THE BOTTLE, a game played by spinning a bottle, about a tumultuous teenage party HACK THE PLANET, in which you are a console cowboy or cowgirl, and the man is trying to keep you down so you jack in, hack in and get revenge; contains a grid of inaccurate techno-jargon to use at random to give you benefits to computer use Back Page: RUN THE SHADOWS, in which you and a bunch of other street samurai put the metal in the meat and do corporate espionage for Mr Johnson GENIUS LOCI, in which you play a post office in a 1960’s Suffolk village, and you eat the spirits of other buildings to survive invasion from the city Back Page: GENIUS LOCI: MALL EDIITON, which is largely similar to the regular game except it takes place in a late-2000’s midwestern mall and you can eat inquisitive teens for power DEAD CHANNEL, a game of straight-to-VHS horror, where each character has an individual set of misfortunes and injuries that shape the plot as they play out Back Page: DEAD CHANNEL: CHANNEL HOPPERS, which includes rules for getting bored and changing the channel only to have the characters and monsters from the horror film invade other TV shows TRASHKIN, a fantasy game in which you play the races who get left out of the stories: raccoon-kin, ratboys, half-possums, goat girls, etc, then embark on a stupid quest for very little gain that will probably get you all killed Back Page: TRASHKIN: THE ZINE, which includes rules for Ibis-kin, Trash Bardic Music, alternative dice rules and a fun wordsearch with rude words in it

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. These games (and their back pages) are: SYSTEM SHUTDOWN: As a team of ultimate cyberpunk badasses, can you survive enough to enact your terrible mission of revenge after the digi-bank forecloses on your implants? The longer play continues, the fewer limbs, competencies and senses the punks have access to. BACK PAGE: BIG MAN ADVENTURE! You’re a BIG MAN and you have one stat: BIG.  NIGHT HAG: Grim urban horror game where sleep paralysis sufferers team up to reveal the truth: malevolent spirits are sapping the life from them when they’re unconscious. The only option left to them is to hunt down and kill the night-hag that’s been plaguing their dreams. BACK PAGE: Additional content for Night Hag including magic rules that will kill the user, firearms rules that will kill the user’s friends, and more. SEPULCHRE: Powered by a cut-down version of Spire and Heart’s Resistance System (and set in the same universe), Sepulchre puts players in the role of relic-hunters in a vast subterranean arctic arcology. BACK PAGE: Black Market Black Magic, additional content for Sepulchre. Additional details on all the districts evocatively but vaguely alluded to on the front page, and some illegal spells you can buy.  NICE MARINES: The Space Marines are renowned across the galaxy as immortal killing machines. What happens when they try to do some diplomacy? Charming Warhammer 40,000 fan game (with enough names changed so we don’t get sued) with the potential to Succeed with Catastrophic Collateral Damage. BACK PAGE: A Fete Worse Than Death. Hack of Nice Marines which tasks evil Iconoclast Marines to spread the fearsome gospel of their dark gods at a local village fair. ORCBALL: Orcball is a cross between the riots that happen after other, more respectable sports and Burning Man. As new rules are handed down from mushroom-addled shamans after every goal, can your team of scrappy underdogs win the championship? BACK PAGE: Orcball Fun Facts. How was orcball invented? What’s the largest game of orcball ever played? How does the religious hegemony of Bog-Al-Kurruk complicate sports reportage? Is elfball a thing? All these questions and more are answered.  GOBLIN PUNKS: You’re a no-good goblin kid with a distinct lack of prospects and a gang of similarly snot-nosed goblin friends. What are you going to do today? Includes full rules for goblin slang, rewarding players for inventing their own shared language. BACK PAGE: Lists of names for things that I struggle to come up with names for when I’m GMing, such as: an Orc, a Goblin, a Sexy Wizard, A Gruff Bartender, A Friendly Shopkeeper, A Tiger You’ve Put In Someone’s Bedroom Without Them Knowing About It, and more. BRIARWOOD: Two (!) page game which sets players on a recovery mission deep into shadowed and lawless woods. Jolly little OSR thing with a magic and abilities system, as well as a cool drawing of a tree that you can use as a map. BACK PAGE: MIRROR/MIRROR. There’s another you that lives in the mirror. Tonight, you’re going to need their help. Unusual game with a two-sided character sheet that unlocks different abilities depending on which You you are. KAIJU GIRLS: You’re a teenage girl with all the usual worries: school, parents, love, etc. Also when you get upset you turn into a sixty-foot behemoth and stomp downtown to pieces. Can you unravel the alien conspiracy to destroy the world AND get good marks on your exams? BACK PAGE: Girl Kaiju. A drawing of Godzilla with some cut-out femme accessories that you can stick on. I’M A LOVER, NOT A FIGHTER: Hack of 2016 classic Honey Heist. You’re a handsome duelist of some kind, and you have two stats: LOVER and FIGHTER. Can you rescue the Queen from the Baron’s ball? BACK PAGE: As many copyright-infringing Honey Heist hacks as I can come up with, including stat pairings such as: VAMPIRE and MASQUERADE, SPACE and COWBOY, FAST and FURIOUS and DUNGEONS and DRAGONS. STONE THE CROWS: If Guy Ritchie directed a film in which a load of birds had to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, this would be the game of that film. Contains a full map of the Tower, personal motivations for all the magpies and that, and cast details for all-male and all-female versions of the movie. BACK PAGE: How to: Create Your Own Wildly Popular Free-to-Download Animal Crime One-Page TTRPG. Deeply self-referential “guide” which devolves into dejected ranting about crabs. ADVENTURE CALENDAR (BOOKLET): This is not a one-page game! This is a collection of 25 tables that combine and overlap to form a winter wonderland that gradually develops into a permafrost hellscape over the course of a campaign. Fully illustrated by professionals. (Merry Christmas!) ONCE UPON A CRIME: Kick in the back door of a beautiful fantasy kingdom and steal anything that isn’t nailed down. The more junk you’re carrying, the more powerful you become but the greater chance you have of dropping it and causing a catastrophe. BACK PAGE: Scenarios for Once Upon a Crime which are mostly gags about fairy tales that Chris and I wrote down one afternoon. Plus: a drawing of a sleeping pig wearing a crown. PREDESTINED: Final Destination the RPG (basically). You all cheated death. Now, death hunts you down with a series of complicated, hamfistedly-foreshadowed and honestly improbable “accidental” fatalities. Can you avoid kicking the bucket, even though the big firework contest is taking place at your favourite racetrack TONIGHT? BACK PAGE: D71 Terrible behaviours for throwaway characters who the audience are excited to see die, such as: laughing at a gravestone, shooting a horse when they think no-one is watching, pressing every button every time they get into a lift, and shouting hard into a pram. ADMINISTRATIVE CARNAGE: Follow-up game to Nice Marines which puts players in the role of the endlessly put-upon mortal servants of immortal Space Marines. Can you earn enough second-hand glory, perform your sacred duties, and survive long enough to retire? BACK PAGE: A Galaxy at War. Hacks for Administrative Carnage allowing you to play space goblins helping out a space barbarian or iconoclast cultists serving an evil Space Marine. FETCH: The product of several years of therapy: a gruelling, physically painful and emotionally challenging solo journaling game in which you, a year after discovering that you are a changeling copy of a real person, descend into the deep woods to burn their eternal kingdom to the ground and die on your own terms. Probably the most upsetting thing I’ll ever make. BACK PAGE: Just the words “I EXIST” written out by hand around three hundred times.
