What is your favorite "thin" RPG core rules? That is, core rules in fewer pages than a big fat hardcover (or three!)?
I think RPG core rulebooks are entirely too long. I think you could do even modern D&D in 100 pages, tops, if you wanted to (just as an example). I want to try something new but every time I look at how big even "light" games have gotten I just throw up my hands and shake my head. Never mind trying to get into Warhammer or Symbaroum.
But I am guessing "thin" games still exist even if I don't know about them -- so recommend me one! Any genre or rules system.
NOTE: It does not count if you propose a 300 page book but with the caveat "the rules are in the first 30 pages." No. That's not what I want.
