Games From a Hat: Kaiju Sick Day
This month's game from a hat takes us on the wild journey to the center of the Earth where the kaiju reside. Your task is to make them feel better. Maybe they have a sour tummy, or a hurt tail, or more likely a giant parasite for you to fight!Thank you for listening to our podcast if you would like a pdf of the game made in this episode find us on Patron at orcsunlimited

Games From a Hat: Just Clownin' Around
Alright, we admit that this one was a little tough to put together. I mean, one of the topics was circus, so you know it's gonna be a clown show. All that aside, we made a pretty rad game about an evil clown turning the world into living evil creatures. And as a player, it will be your job to stop it!Thank you for listening to our podcast if you would like a pdf of the game made in this episode find us on Patron at orcsunlimited

Games From a Hat: Mobsters and Lobsters
We've cooked up another weird one today, that's for sure. Today's game takes place on a desert world on the far outer-rim of charted space, in an illegally run casino. You are a lobster, and your job is to act as the muscle for the mobsters who run the casino in your neck of the woods. You'll be tasked with all manner of deeds, and will have to do them without asking questions or speaking to anybody about it. If you can't do that, you'll be cooked and replaced.Thank you for listening to our podcast if you would like a pdf of the game made in this episode find us on Patron at orcsunlimited

Games From a Hat: Martian Magi and Cyber Punks
So you take mars (of course the game takes place in space somehow) and you hollow it out. The richest of the rich live in the inner sanctorum but you, you live on the surface collecting scrap and magic ingredients. Are you a mage, or a cyber punk? Are you some hybrid of both? You certainly aren't a big wig or you wouldn't be a surface dweller, so pick up your gear and hop in the buggy, we gotta make a living somehow.Thank you for listening to our podcast if you would like a pdf of the game made in this episode find us on Patron at orcsunlimited
