Just ran a one shot of this, inspired by David Lynch's worlds and characters. Completely improvised. It was probably the most fun I've had DMing in a long time.
how'd you find the art (wikimedia gave me nothing good when i tried
This was my first one(two)-page rpg and I played it again recently. The improv tokens really add to the overall dream feeling and that theme is perfect for the noir style. I still love it!
just turned it into a wargame

I am going to adapt this to so many absurd surreal meta-narrative campaigns and no one can stop me
