Five 200 Word RPGs to Help my Cat¸ Charlie
 |
NB: We're covered at the moment¸ but if you already helped me out please download this for free. Otherwise¸ any money raised that exceeds what we need will go to charity¸ likely either the Zelart Scholarship fund or a no-kill cat shelter. Games in this booklet: Kredya Sociyani - Can you game the social credit system and come out on top? One Downmanship - A race to the bottom to take control of the agenda. The Great Debate - How extreme are you willing to go to get votes? Elder¸ Could you tell me? - Create a religion¸ one annoying child's question at a time. Everything is Kung Fu - Solve every problem in the world¸ with your fists. I don't really enter the 200-Word RPG Challenge but I do meet the challenge. I treat it as an exercise¸ on and off. This year¸ as once previously¸ I'm offering up that work for sale¸ but for a special reason. My cat¸ Charlie¸ has been with me about as long as I've been writing games full time. He's been my companion and my muse¸ he's added structure to my day¸ comfort when I've been down¸ amusing antics and much-needed distractions. He also saved my life¸ literally rather than figuratively. At the point of one of my suicide attempts¸ he interrupted me¸ practically tearing down the door and making sounds I've never heard from a cat before or since. He stopped me¸ and I owe him. Before the weekend a neighbour's dog got out and chased him up a tree. In getting down again he scratched his eye and broke his left rear leg¸ right behind the knee. This has meant many vet visits already¸ with more to come. Medication¸ X-rays¸ and may lead to an expensive operation to repair or remove the leg. I want to give him the best possible chance to keep the leg and to survive. I owe him my life. As such I'm raising money to help cover his vet bills and to keep the options as open as possible. He's an old boy and likely doesn't have too many years left¸ but I love him and want him as fit and comfortable as possible. This collection of games is Pay-What-You-Want. I'm sick of begging when things like this go wrong¸ and I do save money as a contingency¸ but it has been one thing after another this year and it just isn't doable without help.
