Make Puppets. Wreck the Show. Ruin Everything (Lovingly).

Sock Puppets is an award-winning, GM-less tabletop RPG about a failing children’s television series held together by felt, bad decisions, and deeply questionable life choices. You and your friends will create real, actual puppets—then use them to sabotage what should have been a perfectly wholesome puppet show.

It’s chaotic. It’s awkward. It’s glorious.

Why You’ll Love It

Play Both Puppet and Puppeteer
You’re not just the fuzzy character on screen—you’re also the troubled human behind them. Every player juggles messy personal agendas while trying (and failing) to keep the show on track.

Petty, Hilarious Chaos
Someone wants a vape sponsorship. Someone is subtly pushing their cult. Someone is trying to make their cat internet-famous. The result? A beautifully escalating disaster.

Crafty and Immediate
Bring puppet-making materials—or just grab a sock and commit to the bit. The game is designed to be picked up and played with zero prep (aside from maybe finding googly eyes).

Fast-Paced, Voice-Wrecking Fun
Inspired by delightfully squabbly games like Ghost Court and Fiasco, Sock Puppets is packed with awkward relationships, episode prompts, and just enough rules to keep the train on the tracks while it burns.

Compact and Playful Design
A 38-page zine filled with goofy characters, tangled dynamics, and messy story fuel—elegant, whimsical, and surprisingly insightful beneath the nonsense.
