Dave Ex Machina
You are Dave. You are a somewhat average human person whose interests include eating pizza, watching TV and minding your own business. Life would be fine and dandy if it wasn’t for one small thing... Every so often someone somewhere in an alternative dimension performs a summoning ritual but, due to some arcane typo, instead of a demon they get you, Dave. Dave Ex Machina is a short storytelling / journalling RPG about getting out of tricky situations and, of course, being Dave*. Requires: 3 x regular 6-sided dicepen/pencilpiece of paper *Dave can be anyone or anything you like really; male, female, something else...
