The Menace of Inanimate Objects RPG

The Menace of Inanimate Objects.

This consists of a single document roughly 570 words in length.

A one-page table-top RPG for four or more players about Inanimate Objects trying to mess up one man's day. As with my previous one-page RPG 'Shady Dealings' I again split the PCs into factions, but in this case it is uneven, one player plays the human, there's a GM and the remaining players portray objects who have malevolent designs (for a unexplained reason) against the human's day.

I do like the idea of pitting- player against player with RPGs and it's good to do with experimental one-page RPGs, which due to there brevity are almost always have to be one-shots.

"The ultimate in paranoia is not when everyone is against you but when everything is against you. Instead of "My boss is plotting against me," it would be "My boss's phone is plotting against me." Objects sometimes seem to possess a will of their own anyhow, to the normal mind; they don't do what they're supposed to do, they get in the way, they show an unnatural resistance to change."

This quote from Philip K. Dick talking about his story 'Colony', this quote helped inspire this RPG idea.

I hope you like my RPG, or at the very least, it inspires you to have a go creating a One-Page RPG yourself.
