A List Of RPGs Made For The 2007 1km1kt Character Sheet RPG Challenge

Well, it's been nearly a month since I started the 2007 character sheet challenge over at 1km1kt.net, and ten days since I announced the challenge here at RPG Laboratory. The response has been great, and we already have a fantastic collection of character sheet RPGs made for this challenge, with more one page RPGs on the way.

At this point, I wanted to start organizing the challenge a little better so that we make sure every RPG made for this challenge ultimately ends up with it's pdf file having it's own download page at 1km1kt.net. The reason for this is twofold: For one, the challenge is essentially a 1km1kt challenge, so all the games made because of it need to be added to the 1km1kt list. For two, I want all these games over at 1km1kt because 1km1kt has a lot more traffic than RPG Lab, as 1km1kt has been around longer. I also believe that 1km1kt has more feeds into other websites, so your games end up being shared better on the internet. The submissions for this challenge so far have been an excellent collection of RPGs, so we should definitely put them out there for more people to download and play. As game makers, we should all take advantage of the tools at 1km1kt as well as RPG Lab for getting our games out there. That's essentially what Keeton has made the sites for.

So, for the sake of organization, I'm going to keep a running list of all the submissions so far, and I'll be keeping tabs on what RPGs are available for download at 1km1kt and which are available for download at RPG Lab. The websites in paretheses after the game names will be the websites which the game can currently be downloaded at.

Trollblade (1km1kt)
Trollblade Ref's Guide (1km1kt)
FREYO (1km1kt)
ArKaNa (1km1kt)
Simple Supers (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Fear On Four (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Dawn Of The Dumb (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Dungeons & Vigilantes RPG (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Villains & Dragons RPG (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Tranzistor Zenith RPG (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Tranzistor Zenith RPG: Ze Master's Guide (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Tindalos RPG (RPG Lab)
The Isle Of Sorrow RPG (RPG Lab)
Waargh (RPG Lab)
Holy Crap Humans (RPG Lab)
The Last Saskatchewan Pirate (RPG Lab)
Sedimentary (RPG Lab)
Sputnik Lost (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Days Of Plunder (RPG Lab)
Tower Of The Dread Mage (RPG Lab)
Dead & Alive (RPG Lab)
MACE Lite (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
The Hive (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
Search/Destroy (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
His is the Hand (1km1kt & RPG Lab)
It Lives! (RPG Lab)
School's Out For Eternity (1km1kt & RPG Lab)

I'll update the list for new submissions, and will also update which websites have which games available for download. The optimal goal is to have every submission available for download at 1km1kt and RPG Lab. Second to that, the goal is to have every submission get it's own page at 1km1kt.

For those not familiar with 1km1kt.net, the sister site ot this site, you submit your RPGs there by emailing an attachment of your pdf file of the RPG to email@1km1kt.net . Or, you can use the submission form here.

I've discussed this all with Keeton who runs the sites, and he has said that he would prefer if people would use the 1km1kt email address or the submission forms to send their pdf files to him, then he'll post them at 1km1kt in due time. That'll be the best protocol for getting the games from here to 1km1kt. If you need any help doing such, just ask and I'll do my best to help. It'll be really cool to get these games to a larger internet audience via 1km1kt.

It'd also be cool if we used this blog to keep a 'roll call' of all the game designers who submitted a RPG for this challenge. Perhaps you could even provide links to where your games can be downloaded and/or where any blog discussing your game might be here. I'll gladly post the links as well, so that everybody can find any submission via links in this blog.

Thanks again to all the participants. I'm glad if this challenge has been an inspiration to you, and I'm really proud of the great group of one page RPGs made so far. I'm not sure how many more future contributions we will get, but I do know that I have a few more on the way. If you have more one page RPGs on the way, I really look forward to seeing them, and if you don't have any more one page RPGs on the way, I really like the ones you've already done. Excellent job all around, people. Good work!

Peace, Errin : )

Another new submission

The Isle Of Sorrow RPG can currently be downloaded at it's RPG Lab blog, but will hopefully soon have it's own 1km1kt page.

Peace, Errin : )

Two new submissions

Thanks to the recent Halloween RPG challenge here, we have two more 1 page RPGs to add to the list:

It Lives!

Tindalos RPG

Both can currently be downloaded here via their blog at RPG Lab, but they will hopefully be submitted to 1km1kt before the year is through, as is the 'official' way to take part in the 2007 Character Sheet Is The RPG Challenge.

Peace, Errin : )

ArKaNa

Just got another submission from Liam Brennan over at 1km1kt. The omni-genre game ArKaNa has been added now to the submissions done for this challenge, which is still on until the end of the year, by the way...

Anyway, here is the link to ArKaNa's download page at 1km1kt.

FREYO

Liam Brennan, the maker of Trollblade, has submitted another 1 pager over at 1km1kt for the 2007 challenge. Here's the link to FREYO.

Solid Effort!

It is hard to cram an entire vanilla game system in one page, so Liam has done a solid effort. It is simple and seems to work well (in my mind at least, I haven't played it). Fitting the character sheet as well demonstrates the neatness of the game itself, it can cover nearly any game you like without getting too complex.

By the way, your link for your signature is broken :)

MACE: Martial Arts Card Engine

Alright, here is the link to MACE Lite posted on 1km1kt.

MACE Lite

To see how MACE Lite evolved over the course of the challenge (and some examples of great feedback), here are the links to the Blogs.

Character Sheet RPG 2007: MACE

Great idea to have the games sorted this way Errin, it will make it extremely easy for new people to see and compare the different games and hopefully gain inspiration to complete their own. I know this challenge was meant for 2007, but it might stretch to 2008 if people keep on contributing :)

This is the 2007 round

We'll certainly start another challenge next year at some point. Of course, you're always free to make a one pager whenever you wish!

My submissions for this challenge

Trollblade RPG

Here's the links to Trollblade's pages at 1km1kt.net, one for the player's sheet, and one for the referee's sheet:

Trollblade Player's Guide

Trollblade Referee's Guide

Note that both pdfs can be printed on opposite sides of one page to create a one page character sheet RPG. Some two-sided one pagers are divided into two 1-page pdfs instead of one 1-page pdf, then submitted that way, particularly if the game is divided between a player's section and a GM section. It also makes a two-sided one page RPG easier to print when you divide it up into two pdf files. The 2-page pdf files would require two character sheets being printed out at a time rather than one. Something you might want to think about when making these one page games.
