Here is another #freerpg for the #ttrpg crowd. It's a version of my 1PRPG, but with expanded skills, experience and a D12 task resolution. It's aimed mainly at the scifi genre. This is the basic document so may have errors. Feel free to download & share.
The more I read this, the more ideas...
Hi Gringir - sadly, I don't have the scenario anymore as my computer died and took a lot of material I hadn't backed up with it. This scenario was one of them. I did use elements of the scenario in The Vault of the Old Kingdom published by Arion Games, but it was very toned down and superficial...
I had a simple one-page game engine pop into my head last night while I was struggling to sleep, so I thought I'd quickly write it up and get it out there.
It's here if anyone wants it. Feel free to share far and wide!

I reviewed this game a few years ago (see below); it's the only game line where I own all the printed books and PDFs produced for it.

Well, I released 'Phaunt's Tower' a week ago and I'm pretty pleased with it. It's been hard work to get to this point and there are a lot of people I'd like to thank, but I'd like to extend a special thank you to Kevin Watson of Dark Naga Adventures for his help and advice.
If anyone is...
I've designed an OSR game and I'm playing with an old-style magazine ad format. I thought it'd be a bit of fun considering the old-school nature of the game.
I setting up a new Warhammer FRP 1st Edition campaign after a successful game of Coriolis. It'll be nice to get back into some blood, crap and madness; it's been a few years.

You'll have to forgive this self-promotion and I'm not sure if this is the correct forum page for this kind of thing, but I wanted to share something that I created that has just been released and that fulfils two life goals of mine; writing and illustrating for Fighting Fantasy!
The Advanced...
I'm going to be setting up a campaign for my wife's work colleagues on a semi-regular basis and I've decided on Fighting Fantasy. I'll be using basic FF with some mods I did by taking cues from AFF, just to make things really easy for me.
I was running D&D for kids/early teens at my local club last year and I used the 5e Starter Set. I had to strip things back a little, but I wish I'd done the time limit idea you mention. Holding their interest for longer than 2 hours on an evening - the club was open for three hours every...
Right now I'm working on a roleplaying game called 'Those Dark Places', which I'm hoping to release around Q3.
It's a simple game that harks back to the industrial sci-fi thrillers like Alien and Outland (my favourite things ever) with that low-tech, deep space feel. The system is based around...

Cheers Xanther - I'm now adding a bit more detail to it and creating a whole RPG around the system. If I can retain that out-of-the-box feel you mention and add a detailed campaign setting to it, I might be able to do something with it.
