Just a short post to spread the love for I’M GONNA TELL MY KIDS THIS WAS D&D.
This is Grant Howitt’s latest tongue-in-cheek, one-page tabletop RPG, designed to capture the spirit (if not the crunchy letter) of classic Dungeons & Dragons in a radically streamlined format.
Much like his other micro-games, this one is all about mechanical fun and accessibility: you make a quick character, then every action is resolved by rolling every polyhedral dice at once—ensuring even the neglected d12 gets its moment. The result is fast, flexible and chaotic, perfect for one-shots, newcomers, or those nights when nobody wants to read a rulebook.
There’s even a tiny chance your roll will land on the mythical “LUCKY BIRTHDAY” result – you’ll have to read it to find out.
If you want D&D distilled to pure, raucous play, this may well be all the rules you need.
