Downscaling
Downscaling is a minimalist, 24-word ttrpg about making a ttrpg. This is a game for game designers and artists. So, everyone. If you're not a game a designer, I have no idea how you found this, but welcome to the hobby. If you're not an artist, well, that's about to change, too. Games are art. Make a game, then unmake it and make more art. Don't worry about writing a good game. You'll know your game design is good when the game makes you delete it. ~~~ Downscaling (2024) © by Jake C-B (RollForThings) is licensed under CC-BY-4.0. All art in this game isn't made yet and is owned by those who make it.
