Sock Puppets RPG

Sock Puppets takes about 60-90 minutes to play, which includes time for making your puppets. You'll need three to six people to act as the puppets (and their puppeteers). 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.

Sock Puppets is lovingly designed in the style of petty squabbling games like Ghost Court or Fiasco. It's a playful, crafty, fast-paced game that will get all your friends talking in wretched little puppet voices almost immediately.
