Super Mega Battle Fight Time Go!

Life can be tough when you’re a teenager – and being attacked by monsters all the time doesn’t make it any easier! Super Mega Battle Fight Time Go! is a mini-RPG for a GM and 3 or more players. You play young adults suddenly gifted with the power to turn into masked superheroes, who must fight monsters – and deal with the social challenges of being young adults! It’s inspired by Japanese tokusatsu TV shows like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (aka Power Rangers).

I wrote this micro-RPG back in 2014 for the D3 Microgame of Stupefying Wonder challenge, hosted by ConTessa, a women-led online gaming con. (It was originally on Google+ and has since vanished off the Internet.) The restrictions for the challenge were that you could only need paper, pencils and a 3-sided dice, and that the whole game had to fit on a single postcard (though two sides were fine). The winning entry was The Guild of Orpheus by Grant Howitt; you should check out his games, they’re some of my all-time favourites.
