Re: Paper Apps
#92This is part of an entire genre; solo roll-and-write board games. Here's some other popular titles you can print off yourself:
PNP Arcade's Dungeon Pages [1], Dangerous Space [2], and Power Creep [3] (each of which also have year-long sets). They're sort of one-page tactical dungeon crawlers. Each successive set iterates on the theme, with Dangerous Space being more tactical and Power Creep introducing a crafting system.
Anything from Postmark games [4]. Most of these can also be played with a group, competing for a high score. In particular, Voyages simulates sailing the high seas looking for treasure, Aquarmarine is about diving as deep as possible to see sea life, and Waypoints is about choosing optimal routes on a hike in national park.
Bargain Basement Bathysphere, which has a long campaign. [5]
This Shut Up and Sit Down video has a good overview of some others, too. [6]

#95I had the Dungeon Notebook. It was fun. I played it until I got bored, which was quick, then gave it away. The ability to "give away" these little games are part of the fun. I'd like to see a game like this where "giving it away" is part of the game. Something you can pass around a school or a con. Like an analog version of Chain World, which was a mini-Minecraft-on-a-USB-stick that you were supposed to pass on. ( ht…
Wait until you hear about PaperBooks. They're like a Kindle download except, once you finish reading one, you can give it to anyone else to read. And BookNotes are completely portable - anything you write in it stays with the PaperBook and can be read by any other person.
You can give away Kindles too.

Yes. But that would be more like giving someone a bookshelf.
