Accounts Receivable - A One-page Role-playing Game

The Game: You are office workers at the end of the world with a responsibility to get the last invoice delivered to your client.

What I Like About This One

There is something uniquely hilarious to me about continuing to Do Your Job even when doing so is patently ridiculous. I have this idea that’s percolating about how participation in corporations is, in fact, a game, and that to do so you need to suspend the aims of real life to care about the goals of The Game, similar to Huizinga’s “Magic Circle” in gaming, because I cannot personally fathom how anyone actually gives a shit about the company’s EBITDA if that is not the case.

I love the idea of a rolling system based on the Fibonacci Sequence for a game about people who do math for a living.

What I'd Do Differently

The space-handling on this one is a little better, but I wrote straight-up to the margins on it and there’s some spots where the scan cuts off.

Notes

It's pay-what-you-want on GumRoad. If you'd like to throw me a dollar for the ink, that'd be awesome! If you want it for free, just put $0 in the 'name a fair price' section. Either way, please enjoy this stupid little game I made and I'll see y'all tomorrow for the next one!
