In 2016, Grant Howitt decided – flippantly – to write a one-page roleplaying game every month and release it for free online. Little did he know that the barely-intelligible pen-and-ink scratches he turned out would go on to define his career, and the shape of roleplaying games, for years to come.
Played by thousands of people all over the world, Grant’s one-page games run the gamut from strange to silly, daft to deadly serious, and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing. Each volume contains (at least!) 13 games in their original single-page format, complete with SECRET BACK PAGE material for every game that’s never been released online. Plus, where relevant, the longer games Grant and his collaborators have released are printed in full-colour, saddle-stitched booklets.
Each game has been written, illustrated (sorry) and laid out entirely by Grant, unless someone else helped him, in which case it says so. As of 2024, all these volumes come in US Letter size, in a sturdy cardboard folder with a spine.
What's in the book?
BE PREPARED: Boy scouts struggle to survive overnight as an ancient terror hunts from the dark woods at the centre of the camp. Contains a buddy system-focused hit point mechanic!
Back page: Gruesome minions and omens delivered by the terror.
BEAUTIFUL SPACE PIRATES (In: The Galaxy’s Most Dangerous Funeral!): You’re a dashing young scoundrel and it’s up to you and your crew to secure your inheritance by fulfilling some of the most outlandish requirements ever outlined in a pirate’s will.
Back page: Five further adventures featuring the Beautiful Space Pirates.
DUNGEONSCRAWL: The palace of the Briar Prince invades the world you know when the stars are right. Generate the shifting corridors as a group and play through to seize your heart’s desire with a simple D20 system.
Back page: Tiger Woods’ Tiger Woods, a game where you must escape a mad golf theme park.
GOAT CRASHERS: You’re a cheeky little goat and you want to party. Only problem is, humans keep trying to kick you out! Are you going to stand for that?
Back page: Ghost Crashers, which is the same thing, but about ghosts rather than goats.
KOBOLD ENDEAVOUR: You’re a scaly dragonling whelp on a mission for the MIGHTY DRAGON KING: to pocket as much stuff as possible from a rival dragon’s horde before you get killed. Your only skills lie in elaborate distractions.
Back page: 50 Unusual Requests from the MIGHTY DRAGON KING.
REVERSE BEASTMASTER: Written in collaboration with Nate Crawley, this madcap assault on the senses sees you taking orders from cruel animals with poor impulse control and no concept of forward planning.
Back page: LOYER GAM, a grotesque game where you must “do law” until a judge “stops you.”
SAD VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND: A surprisingly grown-up, almost diceless game where you play mortals and vampires trying to find love in a damned world.
Back page: THREE GOBLINS IN A TRENCHCOAT, a game you play by stacking dice, to counteract the seriousness of the front page.
SEANS BEAN STAR IN: A VERY NORTHERN CHRISTMAS: Inscrutable high-concept farce where you play five Seans Bean each and must attempt to film a Netflix holiday special without all of you dying.
Back page: FORCE PATROLLERS, which uses the same rules to simulate an underfunded Super Sentai show.
SEXY BATTLE WIZARDS: You have three stats: SEXY, BATTLE and WIZARD. You live in a flying castle. You are wanted in several countries for collateral damage caused whilst trying to save the world.
Back page: SEXY BATTLE MAGIC ITEMS including the Party Bomb, Instant Horse and Decanter of Endless Bees.
THE WITCH HOUSE: You are transformed into a bestial shape by a hideous witch and must escape before what little left of your humanity is washed away with invasive magic.
Back page: SERVANTS OF DARKNESS, where you have to orchestrate a national-level cult and its insidious business.
THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOUR: Play pilgrims acting through the trials of the star gods who brought life to this planet millennia ago; then, play the luckless, terrified humans who crash-landed a colony ship into it and would be remembered as star gods in the distant future.
Back page: Several ideas for games that rhyme with or sound similar to the original title.
WAKE: You’re in a coma; you awaken in an unreal stitched-together hospital ward where hungry phantoms prowl the depths. Are you prepared to kill your way out?
Back page: An extended map of the Ward.
WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS: Slapstick, low-consequence adventures in the vein of classic British comics; you play a rookie witch and her vaguely magical friends desperately trying to have fun in a boring seaside town.
Back page: WHAT I DID ON MY FINAL ADVENTURING EXAM, which is broadly similar but you play students of St Evocatia’s School for Adventurous Girls, and your final exam is probably some sort of dungeon-crawl.

A beautiful and affecting book
Format: Hardcover
A beautiful and affecting book. The civil war is, at least to me, deeply familiar, but this book focuses on the personal, and conveys with a painful immediacy the ways that the horror of this conflict infiltrated and transformed the day-to-day existence of our not-so-distant ancestors. I was struck as I have never been before by the degree to which the appalling, unprecedented violence of the conflict was "just around the corner" for familiar and modern-seeming Americans.

Format: Hardcover
I have started using this in my US history survey class (along with our traditional textbook and primary sources) and my students LOVE it. Although it's not perfect, it's a great complement to other sources and offers a terrific way to talk about alternate ways to interpret history. In addition, my 11 and 14 year old sons have also read it and enjoyed it, so it's accessible for a broad range of ages. And, as my students note in their final papers, it's fun to read, and how often do gen ed students say that at the end of the semester?

Carry on with the great writing Rachel Lacey while I look for my next bodyguard book
Format: Kindle
I'm on a bodyguard reading kick right now, only wlw of course. I read this one for the first time about a year ago and somehow, I didn't leave a review. ( I'm good at hopping from one book to another and forgetting to write one. oopsy) I loved the bodyguard part but as stories go I always hate someone's parent dying. ( too much like real life) I know it's necessary to show why Natalie is so effed up. Rachel wrote a great ending to this story and that is always a plus in my eyes.

cute and captivating
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the storyline and the emotional growth of the characters in this book. I’d been putting it off for a while but I’m glad I finally picked it up and took a chance on it because it was such a cute story.
