Mischievous Imps 

TTRPG Bundle

This is a collection of small TTRPGs, one page in fact, made for:

 One-Page RPG Jam 2023

(A few games may include more pages that count as a backside or extra content)

If you're a lover of imps like me then this is the pack for you! In each of these games, players are encouraged to get into quirky and fun hijinks as they take on the roles of mischievous little gremlins. To assist in the role-playing the GM (Game Master) should create a light-hearted atmosphere. These games aren't designed to be taken seriously.

This is a pack of 3 role-playing games designed for lovers of imps like me and 1 extra art game that doesn't quite fit in the category of RPG but should still be dumb fun.

All of these games rely heavily on your creativity due to their simplicity. They are one page, after all. Try to be imaginative and add flare to every action. This bundle is about being over the top and silly.

The rules of each game are loose. Feel free to reinterpret them, adjust them, or add your own. I tried to make each of them easy to modify.

RPGs:

Mischievous Imps:

In Mischievous Imps one player (or GM) will play as the Grand Arcanist while the rest of the players will play as mischievous imps. As an imp, your goal is to steal elemental crystals held by the Arcanist. As the Arcanist your goal is to keep your crystals.

Impish Investigations:

In Impish Investigations, players are tasked with finding the imp that has been spreading nasty rumors about them. Meanwhile, the imp will do everything they can to throw them off the trail with crafty deceptions.

Impish Tongue:

In Impish Tongue players will take on the role of imps who have been detained by the city guard. One of them is guilty of a crime but the guards aren’t sure which one. They’ll need to narrow it down by questioning them. As an imp, it’s your job to prove your innocence whether you’re innocent or not. Come up with convincing and/or amusing reasons. Your goal is to tell the guard’s favorite response.

Bonus:

Ugly Imps:

In Ugly Imps players are challenged to make silly imp-themed drawings under lots of different absurd circumstances. The point of the game is to have fun while drawing bad art rather than making good art. But if you are an artist that wishes to flex your artistic muscles that’s fine too. Just try not to outshine the non-artists too much.

About:

I've been wanting to get into creating TTRPGs so when I saw a jam for creating one-page RPGs I knew I had to join. What better way is there for beginners like me to get into this genre? I ended up creating multiple games because when I got into drawing key art I made more imps than I needed. That was the result of experimenting with my style. After all the experimentation I couldn't decide what Imp I wanted to serve as the face of the game so I made a game for each of them.

Do keep in mind this is my first time doing this so they might not be perfect. If you have suggestions for improvements I'd love to know!
