RPG: Play A Cool Vampire Or A Magic Cat In The Short Games Digest Vol 2
Roleplaying games are very good, and this digest of short games shows off just why. Play a gingerbread cookie, a skateboard hero, a dracula, and more.
Roleplaying games let you tap into the unlimited potential of the most powerful computer on the planet… THE HUMAN BRAIN–at least according to the various PBS specials of the 80s and 90s, let’s just forget about the Summit for now–though if roleplaying games let you tap into that, you’re a much better gamer, and should probably be hanging out with Matthew Lillard, Angeline Jolie, and Renoly Santiago. At least according to the movie Hackers of the mid 90s.
The point I was trying to make before stumbling headfirst into the Hackers wiki (of course that exists) is that roleplaying games can take you to worlds you’ve only ever dreamt of. And with twenty one different games showing off the kind of bonkers creativity you can only get away with when you don’t have shareholders and a billion-dollar investment firm to answer to. Speaking of things to answer to though, in the interest of full disclosure, I worked on this digest of games, creating the game (un)Life in the Shadows, a game of vampires just trying to make it day to day in the modern era.
And that’s just one of the many different games you’ll find, including a pro-skateboarding rpg, a procedurally generated Evil Dead style game, and more!
