A game I really want to highlight, is Dead men talking by MrValis. Created for the #48WordRPGJam :
" Read aloud this text and play.
The PCs are all dead people in a graveyard.
On your turn:
You talk about your past;
the others answer with empathy;
you change, add or remove 1 word from this text and pass it clockwise.
The game continues until it breaks"
I love this concept so much. Hopefully to be played soon 🫰
I entered this because it was quiet last week. Looking at the quality of @comemartin and @arthur and @PaulCzege entries (amongst many others) I'm quite embarrassed I did already.

My final, 5th entry has a table for the finest treasure in the hoard. Might not be what you thought.

C'est bon, tout le monde est parti se coucher, je peux balancer mon jeu débile et personne ne le remarquera.

OK, now let's see what others have done!
I'm going to pick some of them for purely arbitrary reasons. Because I'm hooked by the cover or the title, or I love the pitch or whatever.
And I'm going to give everyone a 5-star rating because, seriously folks, they've made a freaking game in 48 words!
First round: French-speaking creators!

"That's capitalism, baby!" is a solo journaling game in which you play a billionaire CEO promoting AI during a conference.
(A supplement may be coming soon!)
Love this exercise of concision!
I'll read some entries. I encourage you to do the same!😊

Put in your vampire-teeth, get fit and talk about Vampire Problems.
It was made for the #48WordRPGJam
Check it out and have fun!
the last two days I have been working on my #48WordRPGJam entry: Vampire Crunches, a Fitness RPG. Get ripped and share Vampire problems.
The Zine is complete and I will be uploading it on itch.io soon.
Is 48-words enough for the text of a journaling game that'll stick with you if you play it? I think so.
Check out my entry to the #48wordRPGjam:
![My hand holding a home-printed copy of You Said What? A Journaling Game by Paul Czege. There's art by Giorgio Kienerk of a woman with her hands over her mouth, and you can pretty much read the full text of the game, which is:
Write your stream-of-consciousness rant. It's a [1][2] political [3][4] spiritual [5][6] corporate heresy you deliver to shocked listeners at a [1] family dinner [2] award presentation [3] hot tub threesome [4] hookah lounge [5] bus stop [6] IKEA. Write then how you are [1][2] physically attacked and flee [3][4] lose your job as a result [5][6] connect meaningfully with someone.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/883/303/006/701/379/original/f8fb66ee4e87c4a0.jpg)
Kicking off 2026 with a #game jam: "The Gifting Flower", a #bookmark #RPG for #48WordRPGJam. I want to do more art for my stuff, and cooler presentation, so I painted... well, a flower. It's very pretty though.
The game is about a mystical flower granting you one use of an awesome power that you roll for with 1d10.
I have set up the page for 48-word RPG Jam, a sequel to 36-word RPG Jam. 🎲
It will be running from the 1st to 31st of January 2026. ✨
