In their eternity the demons grow bored. To amuse themselves they decide on a wager. A mortal is chosen at random. Of the infinite timelines of existence, representing both minute and drastic variations, each demon claims just one version of that mortal. They compete to see which survives for the longest. They toy and meddle and cheat, as is their wont.
And so your life took a strange turn.

Diechrome is a one-page (front and back) solo TTRPG that you play in your head. 

This game adapts a common grounding technique into something you can memorise and ‘carry’ with you anywhere. It’s designed to help distract you from challenging experiences or emotions. Or you can simply play it when you have a spare moment.

Like Diedream, Diechrome uses a diceless randomiser and easy-to-remember oracles to take the player through unexpected action. It is equal parts game, coping mechanism and creative procedure.

Diechrome was submitted as part of the One-Page RPG Jam 2026.

throughly enjoyed this video!! Awesome layout and concept. From one designer to another!

I saw your video today. I've had an idea with a similar concept surrounding 1p rules and ARG. Until now I wasn't even sure if it was viable, but this is execution is really cool. I played a couple rounds and had fun.

Glad to hear it, hope it's given you some inspiration

This is a fantastic followup! I love the theme and the aesthetic, as I did with the previous game. I'd be curious to know more about the grounding technique this was adapted from.

Not sure where I first came across it, but it's as simple as going through different colours and spotting X number of things of that colour, as a way of distracting yourself from a stressful situation / panic attack

print friendly?

On my to-do list! I'll put one together as soon as I can.
