Out On The Porch

The old porch is an ageing, wooden thing, seemingly older than the actual house (though you know that’s not possible). 

It’s metal roof causes the rain to sound heavier than it is, like droplets of thunder, and on the deck sits an old wooden bench which was there long before you were. 

Unnoticed, lichen grows off the railings, and the wood creaks and groans as it swells in the damp weather. 

The old porch is the most mundane thing in the world. And also, in your opinion, the best.

Out On The Porch is a rain-soaked, occasionally introspective micro-rpg, which you can play using a single d6. 

In theory it’s a game about conversations and the people we have them with, about the social rituals hidden in our everyday lives, and that one trope where your first introduction to an elderly character involves them sitting in a rocking chair on their porch, gazing into the middle distance. 

In reality, it’s just about getting the chance to gossip with your friends when you’ve got a spare moment or two. Oh, and tea. It’s about tea. 

FEATURES:

• A table of prompts, designed to start and facilitate conversations. 
• Rules for playing alone!
• The chance of rain*.
• Simple, clear rules, including what to do if you don't want to answer a question (spoiler: just don't!). 

*Rain not guaranteed, please consult with your local weather forecast.
