The Houserule Collection
A downloadable Micro Game Collection
Sometimes you want to play a game and all you have on you is your phone, maybe a wallet. The Houserule Collection is a micro game trilogy designed for exactly that situation. It presents the unofficial Lone Archivist House Rules in three popular genres for tabletop role-playing games.
These rules-lite games are perfect for last minute games, on-the-fly games, or even impromptu sessions. Each fits on the front and back of a standard index card (or just a swipe away on a phone).
The Original Trilogy
FANTASY
Fight against monsters in the expansive wilderness and explore vast climes for gems and treasure.
SCI-FI
Race against colorful spaceships or against a leaking oxygen tank in this blue-collar galaxy.
CYBERPUNK
Slink through the seedy underbelly of a sprawling metropolis fighting AI Tech and Contra Gangs.

I got the original houserule collection a while back! Great work- these are quick to play and visually satisfying. Is there a way to get the expansions without having to buy it again?
This is really, really excellent. Evocative and straight to the point. Makes me want to launch into a game right now!
