Tumblr 200-Word RPGs 2023

Last November, we did an informal game jam for folks who wanted to write something for Writing Month, but would prefer to write fewer than fifty thousand words of it. You can find the complete list of participants for that event in this post here. There's also an off-Tumblr archive of entries whose authors gave permission for them to be preserved here, if any of those links turn out to be broken.

Last year's collaboration went over well enough that I thought we might dust it off again this year. To be clear, this is just for fun – it's not a curated jam, and nobody's judging winners or handing out prizes..

If you'd like to throw your hat in, just follow these steps:

Step 1: If you're unfamiliar with 200-word RPGs, read a bunch of last year's entries (linked above) or browse the 200 Word RPG Challege archives at https://200wordrpg.github.io/ to get your brain-meats properly configured.

Step 2: Write your own 200-word RPG. If you're not sure whether you have 200 words or not (and with RPGs it can genuinely be difficult to tell!), you can use the word counter at https://200wordrpg.github.io/wordcount to check.

Step 3: Reblog this post and append your 200-word RPG.

Step 4 (optional): Please indicate in your post whether you're okay with having your 200-word RPG archived off-site for posterity – if you don't say anything one way or the other, I'll assume the answer is "no".

(As before, as a courtesy to anyone who's creeping the notes, please restrict non-200-word-RPG commentary to replies and tags until November 2023 is over – let's make the actual games easy to find!)

Im pretty sure artfight isn't a week away but I could be wrong?

Me right after experiencing life’s hardships: if I just make it to art fight, I’ll be alright….

Bad Sex Flesh Tournament Round 1

The Alchemy of Desire vs. Back to Blood

Freedom vs. The Destroyers

The Day Before Happiness vs. The World Was All Before Them

Winkler vs. The Office of Gardens and Ponds

The Death of Bunny Munro vs. The Yips

Katerina vs. The River Capture

Kismet vs. The Seventh Function of Language

Mr. Peanut vs. The List of the Lost

I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.

I totally forgot that Sid Write is a saint

So Val is the same type of entity as Sid Wright, just... one tier higher, yeah? A humanoid saint still possessed of apparent free will, who can do terrible, reality-bending things to anyone who hears her voice?

...how *exactly* did the Peninsulan scientists figure out how to create her?

Im in the vc lol

everyone in the discord vc turned their camera on im gonna die

for me the episode ended and then weirdmegean started playing so the first thing after the credits was bill cypher 

"target is a proud sponsor of disney channel" i just had the 55 most heart-wrenching minutes of my life and i will never be the same person again

guys i started a new hypnospace outlaw playthrough

I love this game so much. Like as someone that loves point and click adventures but gets stuck alot the non linear options in this game are a godsend. Also it is filled with like 100 tiny tragedies and triumphs

is the building middle school or something else?

yknow sometimes i listen to flight of the crows and just for a moment its like the past two years didn’t happen and im back in the fucking building again
