The Imp Game

Players take on the roles of ordinary dungeon imps serving a would-be dark overlord. They search for items of power, disrupt adventurers’ plans, and maintain the dungeons, often creating problems that can only be solved through cooperation. A failure mechanic ensures that plans eventually succeed, while determining which imp gets the credit. Character creation and play require only two six-sided dice and a 3x5 index card, allowing sessions to begin quickly for 2–5 players.
