Alien Archeology
Made for the Minimalist TTRPG Jam!  Do you like aliens? Do you like archeology? Are you NOT a time traveler? Do you like misunderstanding common items or bending the truth in pursuit of your own goals?  If you answered yes to any of the above, I have a game for you! All it takes is an hour, 2-4 of your closet alien in skin suit - oops, I mean human - friends, and a willingness to twist history for your own benefit.  (If you are a time traveler, please turn yourself into to the nearest Time Police Station for de-molecularization. It's super cool and fun, we promise!)
