They Are Not Stories
They Are Not Stories is a tiny game made to fit on a business card. The mechanics are only 12 words long. A super simple system for telling stories. All you need is a coin and a d10. Here is a little thread about my design. This is free to download, give it a go!  It was made for 12 Word RPG but missed the cut-off. Classic Stuart.
