Tales of Nature and Growth
Tales of Nature and Growth is a collection of solo journaling micro-RPGs about nature and growth, created as part of the 36-word jam, each having rules described in 36 words or less. You only need a d6, a way to journal your story and some quiet time. Enjoy!
Expanded Edition now out!
The Expanded version includes 5 solo journaling micro RPGs:
🌲A Forest Spirit’s Journey: You are a forest spirit tending to the needs of all the people, creatures and plants who inhabit an ancient forest!
🐾 A Biologist’s Journal: You are a biologist cataloguing the flora and fauna of an ancient forest. Document your observations!
🍄 The Mushroom "Hunter": You are a mushroom hunter foraging mushrooms in the forest!
🌱 A Sapling’s Journey: You are a sapling growing in a crowded forest against all odds! Fight pests and the elements to survive!
💧 A Stream’s Journey: You are a river, beginning as a tiny stream in the mountains, carving your way through the land until you meet the ocean!
NOTE: You can find the Jam version which includes 2 out of the 5 games for free under the Demo section. Feel free to try it before deciding on buying the full collection.

I grabbed one of the community copies for this almost immediately after you entered it into our jam (the Who Do You Want to Be? jam). It's fantastic! I was amazed at how nicely it all fit into this trifold, and how much you were able to do with so little for each of the games. It's a great blend of "open to infinite interpretation" but also "makes you want to play again," while most games with LOTS of interpretation fail at that latter thing.
Well done with this collection of games!

Hey Beth, thanks a lot for trying the game and the feedback, really appreciate it!
I am glad you liked it! It was a challenge coming up with prompts that are quite generic but also provide a bit of structured given the limitations, but I am always up for a challenge :D
And… I am currently working on 3 more games to add to the collection bringing the total to 5. I will most probably update it over the weekend! Stay tuned!!
Oh awesome! Consider me hyped 🥳 Making word-limited micro-RPGs is such a fun challenge, I always get so hyped when the 12/24/36-Word RPG Jams roll around. And yeah, you did a great job with keeping them generic yet inspirational!
