Each separate post is a whole RPG world to itself. Consider each thread like a one-shot RPG. Post a premise, some (preferably quick) rules and supply a prompt and then play! Experiment with weird, quirky, non-traditional RPG designs, do freeform and crazy non-sequitur improv. But above all else: HAVE FUN!

Every Post is an RPG @lemmy.ml wolfinthewoods @lemmy.ml JOHN IS POSSESSED!!! (3-5 Players)
Okay! Time for a new freeform game using the Everyone is John rules. Since I don't like the connotation of gamifying mental illness, in this context John will be possessed by various entities (your choice of ghost, demon, aliens, Cthulhu, etc) as the "voices" in John's head.
Creating a Character:
Come up with a crazy entity to possess/telepathically command/transmit suggestive ideas to John. Make it something cool like a Reptilian Shadow Warrior from Merrix IV, or Sumerian Trickster God. Come up with a short, but descriptive backstory to give your Voice some flavor.
You'll have these three attributes:
Willpower: This is a pool of points used to control John and improve your chance of success in taking an action. This starts a 10 pts. It will go up and down as the game progresses.
Skills:These are specialized things you can do in-game. "Damn Good Driver", "Strong Like an Ox", "Silver-Tongued Devil". You get two of these

Some of my favorites include:
Honey Heist

Every Post is an RPG @lemmy.ml wolfinthewoods @lemmy.ml Quick Improv Game Using GS Howitt's RP6 ****
This is a swashbuckling superhero comedy scfi adventure.
Inspiration: The Tick, Megaton Man, Any other superhero parody
In this world:
- Superheroes are ridiculous buffoons with quirky powers (Cactus Man, Ice Cream Sundae Avenger, Papercut Pete)
- Villains are equally as silly and generally pathetic (Taking over the local Sears, turning everyone into teddy bears, writing their name on the moon)
- Whenever a hero or villian does something they succeed, it's not exactly how they intend it to succeed (Papercute Pete tries giving a henchman a papercut to drop their weapon, but the henchman instead becomes a blubbering mess because he can't stand even the smallest amount of blood)
- The world is incredibly fragile, buildings topple when barely impacted, cars crumple at the slightest touch, things break in spectacular fashion, natural and man-made disasters occur frequently and with devastating force.
