There came a point in my life as an RPG player where I largely stopped playing the games in favor of mostly thinking about the games, handling the materials, and reading the rulebooks.

The physicality of D&D was always the most important part for me: the dice, the tables, the minis, the maps. I love me a D&D object.

So I've backed "Tiny Paper Dungeons," @brintown's Kickstarter campaign for a pocket-steno-pad-sized book of procedurally generated RPGs.

Brinton's little game-book includes 50 dungeon maps that you play with a pencil and a D6, acquiring items and leveling up your stats.

The games are generated with Drawbot, and each pad is unique:

The pads are printed in Utah, $5 each, for delivery in April. Brindle's done this stuff before and seems confident he can deliver (assuming covid doesn't shut down his printer).

As to gameplay, he says, "I'm trying to strip this genre down to its simplest form: 1 player, simple mechanics, no story-telling, just you, a die and pencil, and a series of simple decisions in the face of randomness."

I ordered two.
