Totally Real Human Adults
A downloadable game
WHAT IS A (HU)MAN?
...but a miserable pile of animals.
You play as one in a stack of creatures in a trench coat. You must perform a variety of normal human tasks without being discovered. These can be going to the mall, participating in a dinner party, working in an office job, or a series of small vignettes throughout a day in the life of a human adult. Anything that a totally normal human adult would be seen doing during totally normal circumstances.
Work together (or against each other in teams) to be the most credible human you can be.
This game was made as part of the One-Page RPG Jam 2020.

A friend of mine ran this for my home TTRPG group, and it was a blast! If I recall, we used this when our regular game had a plot-dependent PC whose player couldn't make it. This is a wonderful choice for a 1-shot for 4 players, including the GM.
After some initial confusion, the rules helped move the story forward (or sideways, depending on successes...) instead of getting in the way. We spent much more time dealing with our shenanigans than consulting the book. This is great, considering for most of us the first time we looked at the rules was the night we played.
I won't spoil if we succeeded in our mission to get mall pizza, but we recorded our play-through and uploaded it here.
Ran this with 7 players and we had a great time doing Human Activities! We ended up with two humans (one inexplicably holding an indecisive cat) getting banned from an IKEA, which seems like a very human problem
Looking forward to playing it again with a smaller group 😹
