What began as a way for three friends to peer pressure one another into completing game designs has grown up to become a small RPG design / publishing company focused on fun, weird, and interesting games. If you’re looking for a fun alternative to your weekly or monthly RPG, our games are quick to learn, playable in one sitting, and a fun way to build stories with your friends.
Michael Faulk, Jeff Mitchell, and Scott Slater comprise the team at Arbitrio, splitting up design, art, layout, and fulfillment. We have games published in 9th Level Games’ "Level 1", an ennie award winning indie RPG showcase that is distributed on free RPG day. We have the standalone RPG titles"Bad Decisions", "Mythiquipment", and the polymorph game "Black Bag". We have also collaborated with 9LG to produce "Pigeon’s Eleven", a multidimensional BIRD spy heist game.
