Meridian
A downloadable game
A Western RPG made for the one-page RPG game jam 2024. It runs using a deck of cards, playing Blackjack as its main resolution system. The game is heavily designed for story-led play of flawed characters, with the expectation that players' meta-choices will be made to further a tragic story rather than to try and "win".
Fully intended to work as a solo journalling game if wanted, the back-side of the page is made up of random generators.
(Also known as "Atlas has depression, reread Blood Meridian, got drunk and wrote an RPG in a night").

Thanks for being in touch: I would be more than happy to have the game included in the series.
Great! Can you send me an email for more info? ash@long-tail.games
