Description

UPDATE 2/13/25: DELUXE EDITION - I combined the expansion pack into one unified ruleset and then made it look pretty in Powerpoint. From there, I published as a PDF and now we are HERE. Check out it under the DELUXE file. Also updated the Handouts and Sheets doc with a FARMER character sheet like page.

Entry to ONE PAGE RPG JAM 2023

One of my earliest memories is renting Harvest Moon 64 from Home Video Rental or Popcorn Video back in my hometown. The plastic case and manual had a very particular smell that I cannot tell you what that smell is.

It blew me away. The feedback loop of the game was just pure magic for me. When I first started to think about what I could make for a one page RPG jam, my first thought was a farming game. I've really like the idea of playing an RPG on a calendar. Now, using some d6s, you can play a quick and compact little game of farming simulation.

Rules are for solo play, but can play in-tandem with other people, just each keep track of all of your own successes and calendars.

I even included the calendar!

APRIL 2024 UPDATE: It's happening! The EXPANSION PACK is here. I've added FIVE modules (FOUR plus a short blurb on multiplayer support). 

1. Problems Roll Tables - Need help thinking up a problem? Check out this HUGE table I've made. It's a lot!

2. Town Map and Surrounding Area - I did it in Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and I'm doing it here again! Maps! Expand out your town center and the surrounding area.

3. Address Book - Keep track of who you meet. Are they just passing through town? Do they live here with you? Keep your address book up to date.

4. Bugs and Fish - While you're out and about, you might run into a bug or see some cool fish. Maybe you become an avid fisher or bug collector! Who knows! I drew a bunch of bugs and fish for this and it was fun.

5. Multiplayer Support - Basically, you just play all together in tandem

Let me know what you think!
