A downloadable game

EXPANSION PACK: 10/31/24 - Check something else off my list of goals! I've published an EXPANSION for the original one pager. I am going to keep the original up, listed as v1.1, because it is a pretty solid little game that I am proud of. Details about expansion are below.
-------------------------------------------

I am not a linguist. I thought about making a Lasers and Feelings hack that was Post and Apocalypse, and then the Post being mail and the Apocalypse being like end of the world stuff. Then, I took it a step further and looked up what the roots of Apocalypse: Apo and Calypse is what wikitionary told me. So then, I made it into a one page RPG where your stats are POST, APO and CALYPSE.

That's what this is. You play a troupe of three characters, each representing a stat. The three of you are trying to set up a route from one town to the other for delivering mail. POST represents a determined mail carrier. APO is a prepared representative from the town who makes sure you have enough supplies. CALYPSE is the protector who covers the group to keep them safe.

This game uses FATE/Fudge dice. I think they are super neat.

I also really pushed the limits of this whole ONE PAGE thing. I really crammed it in. If you have feedback, I'd love to read it! I intend to expand on this idea some later this year, maybe expand it a bit since I like the idea a lot.

(NOTE: Original one pager is listed first as PAC V1.1, the expansion pack and a file of just forms is what the other two files are)

EXPANSION PACK

Changed the formatting around and added in a few extra lines here and there. The game is now TWO pages long, but a lot of that is getting it into 1 inch margins and bumping up the font. ALSO, added the following with this expansion: 

  • Assemble Your Team - Pick from one of three roles for Post, Apo, and Calypse to make each game a little different
  • Big Map - Made a HUGE map with multiple towns that you can use for longer games.
  • Town Records and Helping Out - Now you can make details about the towns you travel to, and see if they have their own problems to fix.
  • Letter Ledger and Report - An overall document to use a report and summary about your journey, which you can combine with your other forms and cards to create a Report.
