“Hello Role Players, and welcome back to The Weekly Encounter newsletter! 

This week we’re feeling like rebels! Roll dice, do crimes, as they say. Role playing games can be full of fun rules, but they’re even more fun when they’re broken. Through group storytelling, we can fight systems both real and imaginary. We love bending our favorite games to suit our needs, playing the way we want because we want to – and what’s more punk than that?

Trash pals, with a tiny trash can and a little fox.

Eat Trash – Do Crimes is the motto of these wiley little urban creatures. In Trash Pals, each player will choose a small urban vermin form and go after what they really want in life: TRASH. If you’re looking for a game that’s light hearted, easy to play & teach and won’t take you hardly any time to read, Trash Pals is the game for you.
