A Tabletop Guide to the North American House Hippo
A downloadable game
It's night time in a kitchen just like yours.
All is quiet ...
or is it?
The North American House Hippo is the topic of a particularly memorable Canadian PSA from the early 2000s. We now present to you the chance to step inside that world of unreasonably small and sleepy house hippos as they quest to find their favourite snack: the crumbs from peanut butter toast.
Enjoy a GMless game for you and a few friends as you journey through your house and see all sorts of unusual friends, rivals, or tasty snacks.
Illustrations and layout were done by @wildstar25.
The game is a variant of Grant Howitt's Honey Heist, hacked to be GMless and slightly farther north. It can be played with 1D6 and somewhere to jot down names, hippo stats, and a map. Also included is a printer friendly version that folds into a trifold for hippo spotting on the go.
