**EVERY POST IS AN RPG** - Each Post is a Quick, Improv RPG. First RPG is up: Stuperheroes! A parody of the superhero genre inspired by comics like The Tick and Megaton Man. - eviltoast
Every Post is an RPG - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
Each separate post is a whole RPG world to itself. Consider each thread like a one-shot RPG. Post a premise, some (preferably quick) rules and supply a prompt and then play! Experiment with weird, quirky, non-traditional RPG designs, do freeform and crazy non-sequitur improv. But above all else: HAVE FUN!

I am a longtime GM, and have been looking to stretch my improv muscles for a long time. I’ve had this idea percolating for awhile about making quick, micro-rpgs that get resolved in a week or so. If that sounds like your cup of tea, join in! I’ll be creating the initial games, but anyone that wants to create and GM a game is most welcome!

The first game is already up and is based on superhero parodies like The Tick. I call it: Stuperheroes!

Let’s have some fun :D

      The gazebo cries out in agony, a series of high-itched squeaks emit from it and it breaks apart into a swarm of purple rubber duckies that amass into a giant fist, pummeling you for your audacity. The fist swings, the purple duckies bobbing and undulating like a wave of scurrying ants. When the the fist hits you an enormous SQUEAK rattles you teeth. You fly backwards in an arc, hitting a nearby flower stand, the flowers explode out in a flurry of daisies, roses and tulips, the startled flower-seller jumps in the nearby shallow creek in a panic. You are now covered in assorted flowers. What do you do?

      Awesome! I am very familiar with Zot, Understanding Comics and Mr. McCloud in general, but I’d never heard of this. Thanks for showing me. I’ll have to check it out sometime!

      Just because I’m already on .ml

      It’s gotten a fair amount of attention so far, I’m sitting at 49 subscribers now. So, I think it’s best to stay where I’m at. I’d hesitate to move it right now after almost 50 subs. I could see if there was less traction, but right now it seems like it’s alright where it is.

        I can appreciate not wanting to create a new account for the purposes of creating a community somewhere else, but a lot of people outright refuse to engage in communities on .ml these days due to their moderation policies. It’s a shame, but I can understand it. Also, this type of initiative sounds like it’s made for being hosted on TTRPG.network instead.
