"Grape Ape" just debuted his new one-page RPG. Here are some other very small RPGs. Please add links to any other RPGs that are no more than 12 pages long. If they're printed as booklets with small page sizes, the page count still applies.

I had written C&S Essence (Fantasy 4 pages) and Vis Imperium Victoriana (Victorian Derring-do 8 pages) but I don't know if they are on the web these days, I think the hosting site is down. I may see if I can host them myself

I don't have URLs for all of these, but I've got copies of:

Gamers (8 pages)
Iridium Lite (11 pages)
Operation Caveman (12 pages)
FAST RPG (4 pages)
Extreme Danger & Daring (10 pages)
Chi (3 pages)
Prose Descriptive Quality System (13 pages, but one's an ad)
Risus (7 pages – risus.cumberlandgames.com)
Battleforce Bravo (13 pages but 1 is character sheet, 1 is a cover and 1 is a table of contents)
Quique (1 page)
Wushu (11 pages of rules – Wiki formatting increases to 15 with cover, table of contents, license, etc. – link

I can't really speak to the quality of any of these, as I don't play RPGs regularly. A bunch of lites are here:

Is TWERPS still available? I was only able to find it on nobleknight.com . I know Lou was still selling it, but didn't he decide to stop attending cons?

Andrew: I point out that the Gurps Ultra-Lite isn't *quite* Gurps, and is actually a bit closer to Risus in terms of 'skills as professions', with a catagory such as 'knight' encompassing the various knightly skills but also the equipment needed for performing such.
