A downloadable micro rpg

Are you overwhelmed? Underwhelmed? Just plain whelmed? See how it impacts your odds of success or failure in Whelm! Creative, flexible storytelling prompts are driven by a single mechanic that keeps the plot moving. 

Play solo or in a group. Each player needs a d6, a paperclip, and a copy of the game (or a 1-6 scale on an index card, in a pinch!)  

Whelm! is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. If you hack it or use it to make something I'd love to hear about it!  

Created for the 48-Word RPG Jam. Font used is Wallhynd by Yktyp Std. Dice illustration on cover art is a public domain piece from Pearson Scott Foresman. Available as a pdf, jpeg images, and a plain text file.

I love this! A couple times last year I had events where I either sold (donation) or freely distributed business card games. Would it be okay with you if I added this to my collection?
