Whittledice and Parchment
A downloadable game
Whittledice & Parchment is a tiny, embeddable TTRPG – a game for your TTRPG characters to play, inside your existing game. Perfect for those times when someone doesn’t show up or your party just needs some downtime. If your current GM is interested in GMing two games at once, great – otherwise, pick someone else in the group.
Whittledice is print-and-play - just print out the rules, cut out the Character Cards, and get going.
It is currently in playtest, so feel free to grab a copy; I would appreciate any feedback! A huge thanks goes to The Packbats for catching several very embarrassing errors and providing valuable design review. Art by Pliv.

Simply download the PDF and print it out; double-sided is best. The first sheet (or two pages if single-sided) are for everyone; the second sheet (or two pages if single-sided) are just for the game master. The last page can be cut up into character cards, but these aren't required; they're just there to help you keep track of things.
