Noodling on a 1 page RPG

[Morrus]

Just spent a few minutes noodling and came up with this. Very much just a start. Dunno if I'll do any more.

Interesting. That's actually pretty ambitious for a 1PRPG. I've done a few but they tend to be more focused. Like this one:

 

[Morrus]

Yeah, they're usually a rule with an adventure seed random generator. I've done without the adventure part.

Well, yours has the benefit of actually looking like a fleshed out RPG. If it were generic enough it could be paired with one page settings or something like that. I like it.

Looking good!

I agree, this is interesting -- it's a surprisingly ambitious and playable rules structure for a 1-pager.

I'm rather amazed someone can come up with a one page RPG like that. It looks like it'd work.

 

[Morrus]

Did a bit more. I can work on this while waiting for things to upload and stuff. A few minutes here and a few minutes there! It's not quite there yet.

I have NOT playtested any of this!

Sample character:

---

MYSTERIOUS ELF RANGER

BRAWN 2 AGILITY 6 INTELLECT 2
PRESENCE 5 RESOURCES 1 STEALTH 4
WILLPOWER 1 PERCEPTION 4 MAGIC 2

You can always track people.
You can sense magic.
You have 2 spells: invisibility, summon

Building a character from a different system: Quiet human burglar,

Brawn 2, Agility 4, Intellect 2,
Presence 2, Resources 4, Stealth 8,
Willpower 2, Perception 3, Magic 0,
Life 6, can open any lock.

Not bad. Questions: Can you add a levelling-up point to Life? Can you add a levelling-up point to Magic if you started with Magic 0?

I was thinking that myself (and I haven't given the monsters Life yet) -- I'm thinking I'll make life level +3. So you have 4 at level 1 and gain 1 each level.

Can you add a levelling-up point to Magic if you started with Magic 0?

No reason why not.
