In detail

OSSUARY is a minimal, one-page dungeon delving system. It's been designed with speed and play-by-post in mind — the rules are straightforward, the character sheets are simple, the rolls are handled by the Bone Collector (aka GM).

In this game a Bone Collector guides a group of players through a game of traps, terror and treasure, where creative problem-solving is key.

• 3 randomly generated stats — Spine (strength), Femur (dexterity) and Skull (willpower) — represented by die sizes (d4, d6, d8, d10, and d12)
• core stats double up as HP
  
• pseudo-lifepath character generation and equipment
  
• emphasis on lvl 0 funnel play
  
• freeform classes and abilities beyond lvl 0
  
• micro adventure hidden within the rules

DIEDREAM is a one-page (front and back) solo TTRPG that you play in your head. Within two sides of A5 is an elegant game system that allows a player to go on adventures in the comfort of their bed with nothing more than their brain and their fingers.

Designed to be played before falling asleep, the game uses a diceless randomiser and easy-to-remember oracles to take the player on unexpected journeys. It is equal parts game, bedtime ritual and creative procedure. Use Hill Marks as a simple procedure for making your own solo oracle or go beyond and follow the mysterious trail — the choice is yours.

HILL MARKS. Detailing the origins and meaning of mysterious land markings, this game guides you through making your own divinatory oracle (which you can use for general solo TTRPG play). But, a secret lies at the heart of the thing which will lead the most intrepid solo players on a dark trip through a deceptive and cruel landscape.
