Yesterday I mentioned the Micro Fiction Games Jam, where folks make a ttrpg in 280 characters or less. It’s just a fun little unranked jam that lets you quickly make a game and not feel like you’re stuck in a rut if it’s been a while since you made anything. I could have sworn I entered the jam before but maybe it was a different but similar jam. I’m too lazy to look up my previous blog post about it. Anyway, this time I made a game based on the 7th Guest microscope puzzle. It’s kinda become infamous because the difficulty of the AI was apparently determined by the processor speed and quickly became way too difficult. This has nothing to do with my tiny ttrpg. Not my best work, but fine enough for a 280 character jam, and technically the first ttrpg I’ve made in a few years.

Microscope

You’re a mutated microbe in a petri dish with 10 other microbes
Roll 1d4 each turn
-On 1-2 you infect one microbe
-On 3-4 one of your microbes divides into two and infects one
Repeat until all are infected
Once all are infected, one of them mutates and the process repeats

Who knows, maybe this will motivate me to do bigger and better ttrpgs again. I think you all should consider making one too. There’s a couple days left in the jam for you to make a 280 character ttrpg.
