An award-winning tabletop RPG about a failing children's television series. Make real, actual puppets and use them to ruin a perfectly good puppet show.
- 3-6 Players
- 40 - 80 Minutes
- Crafting
- GM-less
In Sock Puppets, you'll act as both puppets and their troubled puppeteers, each with baggage they're taking onto the show. Someone is trying to get a vape sponsorship; someone is pushing their cult; someone wants to make their cat famous.
It's a mess, basically.
The game is a 38-page zine filled with awkward relationships, messy personal agendas, goofy characters, episode ideas and a handful of rules. It's designed to be picked up and played with no work in advance – well, except for getting a bunch of puppet-making materials. But you could all just take off a sock and shove a hand in there if you're feeling lazy and gross.
