The Tiny Disaster Machine

Spend a single day as one of the most fearless animals on Earth. The Tiny Disaster Machine is a fast, light, card-driven solo RPG where you play a honey badger roaming the savannah from sunrise to sunset. Across eight short scenes, you’ll forage, explore, cause trouble, face rivals, and leave a trail of small, stubborn chaos behind you. Draw a card for each moment of the day: The suit tells you what kind of scene it is — foraging, exploring, trouble, or confrontation. The rank tells you how boldly you act — cautious, confident, fearless, or legendary. Then you write a short scene capturing what happens next. There are: no stats no dice no prep no survival grind Just a deck of cards, your imagination, and a creature that absolutely refuses to back down. This is not a grim nature documentary. This is a playful, energetic story game about curiosity, hunger, stubborn courage, and the joy of poking your nose into places you probably shouldn’t. What you’ll do Dig, sniff, climb, steal, and raid hives Wander through farms, camps, burrows, and scrubland Confront predators, rivals, and irritated humans Turn small moments into big, memorable scenes Tell the story of one messy, fearless day Each playthrough takes about 20–30 minutes and tells a complete story — funny, chaotic, and full of character. Eight scenes. One honey badger. A whole world to explore. Feedback Welcome This game is small, experimental, and meant to be played. If you try it, I’d genuinely love to hear how it went — what worked, what surprised you, or what you’d change. Comments, ratings, and suggestions are all very welcome.
