Headcanon
Have you ever looked around and thought, "I wonder what kind of antics I could get up to with that stranger over there"? Now's your chance to watch those antics play out with the solo-RPG Headcanon! A bookmark-sized game that prints on a letter-sized piece of paper with cut lines marked, you'll use a standard one-hole punch to create the engine that runs the game. Now, you just need a book and a stranger. Head to a public place with your book and bookmark. Place the bookmark a few pages in and start reading. When you get to the bookmark, look up! Find a stranger. Now, place the bookmark on the page of the book. Your punched holes will reveal letters; the bookmark will help you turn those letters into a story.
