Having previously contributed to the 2021, 2022, and 2023 jams, Alexi is now compelled to continue and submitted entries for both the 2024 and 2025 One-Page RPG Jams.
He never did a blog post for 2024 so is going to talk a bit about both.
2024's theme was TRANSPORT. Alexi's game Dubious Sci-Fi Vehicle Dealers is, as with his other One-Page RPG Jam projects, a role-playing social game more than classic RPG system (so: no dice, stats, GM etc). Players take the roles of dubious sci-fi vehicle dealers, taking it in turns to be a buyer looking for a vehicle for a dubious purpose (with a flimsy cover story). The other players draw stupid vehicles then try and convince the buyer that theirs is the vehicle for them!
2025's theme was GROWTH. Alexi's game Allotment Goblins is, again, dice-less, stat-less, GM-less, this time featuring goblins (or other small creatures), sitting around in their allotments, trying to grow stuff, telling meandering little anecdotes to pass the time. Players give each other seed words, and try and fit those words surreptitiously into little stories fitted within one-minute time limits. Sneak more words in or get more false guesses from the other players? You grow your plants more effectively!
All of Alexi's one-page RPG games are free to download as PDFs (see them all here). If you play them and have any comments, do leave a note on the itch.io pages!
Has Alexi really done nothing since last year? Sort of. He has been dabbling in other media rather than scripting comics. Short stories, DJing, poetry even. What is the world coming to? He does still like comics though. He very much enjoyed Sequential Scotland (where he delivered a workshop) and will probably come back around to more comics sometime soon(ish, maybe).
