Shotgun Pixies

Shotgun Pixies is a GM-less one-page ttrpg about guerrilla fairies fighting a revolution against the Faerie Courts.

The players embody fairy characters of different types, and they start the game in extrema res in front Pistachio, their revolutionary leader, just having arrived from an incursion to get resources. The main game mechanic is that one of the players has to take narrative control and start telling Pistachio what happened during the incursion. They can make up whatever they want as long as they have narrative control. The player who is telling the story (or storyteller) must tell how THEY are responsible for getting resources in order to make the Green Devil's Court ever more powerful. Each time the storyteller includes in the story how the group got their hands on gold, recruits or weapons, they get Reputation Points, which represent Pistachio's favor.

At any given moment, the other players can demand for an Audacity Roll, which involves all players and gives the narrative control to whoever gets a higher result. This mechanic is used by saying something like “That’s not how it happened!” breaking the narrative past tense, and encourages players to take the lead of the narration to win reputation points. In a sense, this mechanic works as in movies, when you have multiple versions of the same event, depending on the subjective perception of different characters. The difference is that in the game, these events are not set and depend solely on the player who has the narrative control.

In the end, the player with the most reputation points wins, and gets promoted in the ranks of the Libertarian Horde.
