That Night Out

That Night Out:

That Night Out
Publisher: Gallant Knight Games

Out with friends for the night.

But suddenly, a siren blares out of nowhere.
And deep down, you all realize your lives are in danger.
Somehow, deep in the bottom of your souls, you all realize something is out there to kill you.
Can you survive the night?

Last January 2015, Matthew Bannock held a game design contest on Google Plus called, “Survive the Night.” This was my submission to that challenge, and thankfully despite being the only submission, he still felt it was a game he would like to play.

The original version of this game can be found here:

 http://tagsessions.blogspot.com/2015/02/that-night-out-survive-night-challenge.html


This version of the game includes a number of revisions which I have added to make the experience much more fun (and scary) for everyone.

Consider this a TAGsessions early Halloween present. Have fun!

  • A game about being god, to play while carrying groceries home
  • Something to play while lying in bed, waiting to fall asleep
  • A story of human sacrifice, acted out while preparing a meal
  • A game about being on the lam, played during a short hotel stay
  • ...and six more!

Quick! Act Human!

Quick! Act Human!:

Quick! Act Human!
Publisher: Leigh Carrthulhu

A comedic co-operative one page role playing game for three or more players.

YOU ARE AN ALIEN
You are an alien specializing in Advanced Human Studies. An important secret mission has been assigned to your team by your Grand Alien Superior. Failure is not an option.

Each member of your team is to be teleported inside an individual Human on planet Earth. Once on Earth you will receive your mission orders. It is imperative you blend in with the planet’s inhabitants. Any suspicious activity may mean you encounter nearby hostile humans who wear black suits. They seem to extremely dislike Aliens and will try to capture or kill you.

Your team is given a small teleportation device which can only be used to bring you back to the mother ship once you have fulfilled your mission objectives.

Good luck!

You and your team are beamed down to Earth, but there is something wrong with the teleportation machine... There is always something wrong with the teleportation machine.

Your entire team is beamed inside the same human host! Your mission objectives have just been received! There are humans looking in your direction! You all internally fight and scrabble to manoeuvre your human host’s body!

Quick! Act Human!

Afterverse Quickstart Rules
Publisher: Afterverse

Welcome to the universe. Here's what comes next.

This abridged rule set will allow you to get a taste for the Afterverse game system and be ready to join a game. The Quickstart rules explain:

  • The D6 Bank system. All skill checks are tested by rolling (ATTRIBUTE + SKILL + modifiers) dice and counting up the 5s and 6s; many tests will have you bank these hits to spend over time, including the Initiative system.
  • Attributes. Afterverse has 9 standard attributes divided into 3 categories (Physical, Mental, Social), in addition to one special attribute....
  • Chutzpah. This stat that allows you to exercise certain meta powers over the game, such as Take Two and Retcon.
  • Skills: Afterverse has 14 skills, described in this guide. Additionally, there are hundreds of skill specializations in the core book to add flavor to your character's skill set.
  • Combat: Initiative in combat is treated as a hit bank, requiring you to spend IP to perform actions or evade. The system supports multiple actions per round and suppressive fire in a smooth and natural manner.
If you're interested in this game, check out the full sourcebook, also available here. The full sourcebook includes (in addition to more detailed explanations of these rules) space combat, a full history from 2050 through 2140, worlds, cultures, ships, and more.
