decay.
decay. is a one-page game for 2 or more players. Embody a fungal colony as you attempt to consume a town both with mycosis -- and with your teeth.
Created for the Fluffy Horror Jam, decay. is a game of dark horror-comedy where you are the monsters. Perfect for parties or an off-the-cuff one-shot, it's ready to pick up and play with a handful of d6.
"In one page, decay. succeeds in providing an engaging horror RPG that feels both unique in terms of its setting and familiar in terms of the roles available for players." - Pod of Blunders

Decay. Donkey Kong
Really enjoyed playing as the Mycelium with my pair of Fruiting Bodies. I love a game that lets me indulge in really gruesome descriptions. As there is no initiative system, I had the player who had most recently consumed mushrooms go first and then they just took turns from there. My only critique is that it never felt particularly challenging. I might allow uninfected humans the chance to strike if they witness a fruiting body attempt to consume someone else in their sight.
Loved this game! Read our review here: https://podofblunders.com/2021/07/23/decay/
Super flexible system where additional rules can be added, but everything you need is already there.
While playing, gave the feel of the Three (or more) Stooges commit murders.
Puts the fun in fungal!
