Written Word
A downloadable game
You are Scribes of an ancient order. You possess magic, but lack the ability to channel it. You are nothing without your Sentinels, dilapidated automata of stone and moss. They are infinitely obedient and unusually capable, but only when given the right words. You say jump, they jump. You say fly, they fly -- somehow.
Part of the 36-word RPG Jam, this game is a lite set of rules created to test your creativity and vocabulary. Craft commands for your Sentinel with randomly rolled starting letters and limited-use bonus letters. Run standalone or integrate into a pre-existing dungeon.

It doesn't seem to say how many letters you start with, or how to get more, unless you're not supposed to. It also doesn't talk about bonus letters. Otherwise this seems fun! EDIT: I think I get the bonus letter and starting letter rules, It seems that you just roll for your starting letter, and choose the rest of the letters to use, and one letter in the word other than the starting letter, ideally one that appears multiple times, to be the bonus letter, afterwards that letter cannot be the bonus letter again.(and maybe even is a letter you can't use at all anymore) That sounds fun, but I think I will houserule that you regain all expended bonus letters after a long rest D&D style.
