Cranks & Crackpots

Only you know the truth! That's because you have your own scientific theory, and it's way better than all those ones that the so-called experts deliberately make so hard to understand!

You're one of those...

Cranks & Crackpots

In this one-page solo RPG, you'll play as an obsessive nutcase whose life is governed by three stats:

CERTAINTY

ISOLATION

OBSTINACY

Will you watch a long series of internet videos, mail your work to an academic, and start talking in code?

Or will you get a hobby, have a moment of stark self-awareness, and go back to school?

Pick up the dice and find out the trajectory of your life!
