Grant Howitt's one-page games run the gamut from stange to silly, daft to deadly serious and powerfully original to potentially copyright-infringing. This volume presents the second 13 games in their original single-page format, complete with secret back page material for every game that's never before been released.

Check out the rest of the volumes in the one-page series!

Volume 2 includes:

  • Jason Statham's Big Vacation- Make sure that the international superstar has a nice time on his holidays, despite the efforts of a vengeful sniper and his own unpredictable nature.
  • Last Christmas- You’re a time-travelling festive ghost who attempted to teach Ebenezer Scrooge the error of his ways but instead gave him a heart attack – and that, somehow, caused the world to end! Can you avert the apocalypse by using your ghost powers?
  • Crash Pandas- Why are you, a raccoon, embroiled in the high-stakes world of illegal LA street-racing? Can you all drive the same car at once without crashing? Find out!
  • The Five- Years ago, the corruption – gears and oil and filth and grease – overran the world, killing the Queen. You are the last five knights of the Queen, fighting to honour her memory even as your bodies are wracked and changed by the corruption.
  • Giant Goddamn Robots- A very silly mech combat game where you draw pictures of giant robots and then throw dice at them in an attempt to cause damage and win the day.
  • Pride and Extreme Prejudice- It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of a giant war machine must be in want of a fight. Take up arms against the invading French forces and find yourself a husband!
  • No More Room in Hell- A GMless game, or a game with four GMs; take control of individual facets of a story that sees desperate survivors struggle to survive in enemy territory – whether that’s war-torn cities, the hunting ground for ghouls, or a state that believes you cannot be allowed to spread your ideas.
  • Retrograde- You just woke up. You don’t remember a thing. People are hunting you, and you need answers – fast. A cyberpunk amnesia game in the style of Flashback.
  • Tramforce- Following a disastrous Brexit and increased coverage of tram lines in the UK, the government have resorted to using power-armored cops to police city centers – even if they have to remain tethered to the trams or risk running out of power. You are those cops. You… are Tramforce.
  • Adventure Skeletons- You’re a skeleton. You’re bored of being told to guard a boring old dungeon by a boring old wizard. Time for an adventure! You set off to the human dungeon (“village,” in their tongue) in search of wrongs to right and things to fight.
  • The Streets of Karazun- Evoking Fighting Fantasy gamebooks in vibe if not mechanics, this A7 rules booklet unfolds to reveal an illustrated map of Karazun. Play cut-throat adventurers on a quest for glory and plunder in this dangerous port-side city.
  • The Beast- You’re a sub-par 18th-century monster hunter in the arse-end of Eastern Europe; you work for the Baron, and you hate him, but he pays your wages. You’re tasked with hunting down The Beast that’s been terrorising the locals and; you will most likely die, mad and alone, in some godforsaken forest. Best prepare yourselves.
  • Unfinished Business- You died, and you’re really angry about it. You can possess people, and you will, in an effort to exact revenge on the people that killed you and your friends. Contains full rules for unfortunate supernatural side-effects and ghostly powers.

Sublime Poetry Slightly Flawed by Format
Format: Paperback
I hate to give this work anything less than 5-stars, because at the moment (and probably most future moments) I revere James Wright's poetry. He makes blue collar blackened river Ohio come alive riven death with darkness and life. So this book is a must for poetry lovers. Where it distracts me is the attempts at completeness is a difficult editor's dilemma and one that doesn't serve the poet or the poet's reader well here. There are two James Wright's out there (this book presents three), as is true with most sublimated artist that pass through a learning phase before hitting on their voice, their style. James Wright started as a formalist (not my favored style) hailing structure and rhyme sometimes at the expense of meaning and language (disclaimer...one man's humble opinion belies a personal taste and no two taste buds seem the same). The book of course being a complete work, offers all of those poems of bandied prose. And then the editor offers a bridge or break of sorts in Wright's translated works of German and Spanish poets. Wright was a great poet in English, but the gift of gifted translation should have been left to the likes of W.S. Merwin, Anthony Kerrigan, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Mitchell for Neruda, Paz, and Rilke. So, Wright's "Above the River," really first breaks the surface on page 119 after his epiphany to all thing free form. It is then that his poetry sings darkly. I leave you with some of Wright's beautiful language (there's plenty to be had). Buy the book for the rest. In Fear of Harvests It has happened Before: nearby, The nostrils of slow horses Breathe evenly, And the brown bees drag their high garlands, Heavily, Toward hives of snow.

A Twentieth Century Teasure
Format: Paperback
James Wright's poems are acts of courage. His persistent advocacy of the underdog is real and clear-eyed(American Twilights 1957, written fo the executed killer Caryl Chessman). "Arrangements with Earth for Three Dead Friends" is one of the most moving elegies I know in the language (taken from his early career). Then there are the wonderful and luminous translations "ten Short Poems: from the Spanish of Juan Ramon Jiminez, Pablo Neruda's "Anguish of Death", Cesar Vallejo's "I Am Freed" and many others. These are vital and wide-ranging poems that belong in every library.

Wow! Wright Rocks!
Format: Paperback
This collection brings together both the greater & lesser known works of James Wright so that students or lovers of poetry can get a true feeling for his style & focus. Some pieces seem less focused, while others hone in with cruel beauty on those moments where the literal and the figurative worlds collide. Brilliant poet. I recommend this book especially to serious students of poetry.
