Instant RPG
Instant RPG is a free and downloadable role-playing game that can teach players how to play rock/paper/sorcerers while simultaneously teaching them about running an efficient gaming group. It does not require any pencil or note paper, only the business card from which it was printed on one side for instructions in playing with others via text messages (or mobile phone), and another page showing a list of rules that teach players how to run their game. Additionally, expansions can be created by Keown himself as long as his original name is credited; he suggests including more details such the characters' personalities or motivations when creating these additional sections for added interest in playing with friends online through text messaging (or mobile phone).
