A simple, hilarious rpg for all ages

Book cover for Artful Antics showing art running amok

It has been said that only 10% of all art that has ever been stolen is recovered. Have you wondered what happens to the other 90%? This game proposes an answer to that question: it simply walks out and enjoys the world.

Artful Antics is a role-playing game system for players of all ages. This game requires a gamemaster and is best played with two to five players.

Characters are based on a famous piece of art, the player’s favorite piece from a local exhibition, or something the player has drawn or sculpted themselves. Then, depending on the art form, players choose from a menu of powers such as Hunger (instill hunger based on tasty looking food) or Wandering Animal (animals in the picture wander out into the real world). Finally, the player chooses a Wild Power as a final bit of customization.

Gameplay emphasizes narrative and creative, cooperative play with a little bit of randomness from a d6 roll.

Features:

  • Four art forms (character classes) with varied abilities
  • More than 25 powers that characters can use to stealth, bamboozle, or force your way through obstacles
  • Four pre-built characters for quick use or inspiration
  • Easy-to-use rule system emphasizing creative problem-solving and narrative
  • An adventure "Breakout of Sandia" to start the fun immediately
  • Art by Marissa Thompson

Required for play:

  • A single six-sided die (d6) -- not included in the PDF
