Take-Along Games

     Ever wish you had something to entertain yourself with while out and about besides constant phone games or media scrolling? Something which engages your mind more, which gives you an outlet for creativity, which lets you explore dreams beyond that screen in your palm — and yet still lets you enjoy solitude?

Well, here you go!

     In Take-Along Games, you'll find TWO unique solo RPGs that you can easily stuff into your pocket or purse wherever you go! If you want something looser and quicker, Pendrop is a storygame about filling in set blanks with a pen, which you use both to write your answers and discover new ones you might not have noticed before. Once finished, you'll be left with a character and world that you can explore again in other games! Pendrop is easy to print out and play again and again, each time being influenced by your surroundings in new ways.

     For more of an extended and pithy deep-dive game, Robo Rebel guides you along the narrating the life of a renegade android who has been toying with their human pursuer ever since they escaped. The game's compact token economy tied to your purpose and personality alternate between evading the humans and giving them a fighting chance against you. With its ongoing adventure, you can keep your game of Robo Rebel lasting for as long as you'd like, replacing the compact game sheet as it wears out over the months as easily as a servo-motors in your elbow joint!

     Both are easy to print and cut into an easily travelable solitaire RPG experience, fitting for taking with you to new places. If you like exploring the worlds within you, and you like exploring the real world around you, you'll like Take-Along Games!
