Whelm!
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!)

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.

5 stars - sleek and clever
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?
Yes, absolutely!!! Please feel free to do so!
Love this. Very smart design!
Thank you!!
