Here is a set of rules I came up with in an effort to remove all reference to the OGL 1.0a and any content that falls under it. It is the combination of 4 separate pieces I posted one at a time while the project was being completed, and ALL ART HAS BEEN REMOVED. Why the NO ART you ask? Because I chose to create some very trippy and psychedelic AI generated art that I thought matched the light hearted theme of the work. However, I received a to...

From Muskets to Rifles… is based upon C'est la Guerre: Fast Play Wargame for the Age of Muskets. This system was designed to provide a fast yet satisfying game play, not necessarily a "realistic" simulation of battle recreation. Bases or 'Units' in the game do not represent a certain number of men or artillery pieces but are abstract representations of force. From Muskets to Rifles… uses * a simple command structure to manage battlefield mov...

The goal of Ancient Elements RPG is to create an OSR set of rules that conforms to the Primary Fantasy SRD 3.5 while maintaining some of the character and simplicity of Microlite20 so that standard 3.5 adventures and settings can be used without too much conversion. REVIEW: A well-considered variant on Microlite20 tastefully curated with neat houserules (even Grappling!). The author has made effective choices throughout. Liked it so much I b...

The Universe is stranger than anything we can imagine. Layers upon layers of realities existing in separate domains, but which occupy the same space. Sometimes these domains connect, and the creatures in these domains can interact. Monstrosities can cross over from their domains and bring with them the physics and geometries of their home. Your Character has been recruited into a secret organization dedicated to protecting this Domain. You h...

This is a collection of essays I have written over the years that are only related by the underlying subject matter of stupidity and social decline. Most of the essays deal in some way with stupidity, whether to describe or evaluate these issues, or try to counteract them. I hope you enjoy!

It is not easy being a hobo. The world seems to be against you. People often avoid and despise you. Even the weather conspires to make you miserable. Everyone and everything demands money which you don't have. Hobos are usually peaceful because anything else will draw the attention and perhaps the wrath of the Man. Being inconspicuous and keeping your head down may avoid this. And yet there is more to life than mere survival. There is a spir...

These rules are intended for games set in the Modern Era, from the last half of the 19th Century to the Early 21st Century, and perhaps a bit beyond. The basic rules are derived from Microlite20 which is in turn derived from the d20 SRD for 3.*, and the game structure is based upon the d20 SRD for Modern.

It seems to me that there are three sub-genres of Western themed role playing games: Realistic, Cinematic, and Weird West. The core rules of Grit and Bullets 2nd Edition was designed with realism in mind, although I don't know how realistic any RPG can ever be. The Characters are heroic but not super human. They are competent but not incapable of error and failure. In fact the Characters are rather more vulnerable as compared with other w...

This year I participated in the Flash Fiction February 2022 challenge hosted by the Storytelling Collective (https://www.storytellingcollective.com/). The challenge was to write a daily flash fiction story of between 500 and 1500 words. Each day the Storytelling Collective provided a prompt of a picture or a word, and the participants wrote their flash fiction based upon it. I enjoyed the challenge even though I was unable to finish all 28.

This is a complete RPG (Role Playing Game not Rocket Propelled Grenade) with rules and an introductory adventure setting. What would you do if you suddenly became 2 cm tall? "In an alternate universe there is a galaxy very similar to our galaxy. In that galaxy there is a star very similar to our Sun. Circling that star is a planet very similar to our Earth. On that planet there are oceans, land masses, plants and animals very similar to what w...

KOOKS stands for the Keepers of Odd Knowledge Society, an ancient and revered secret society… so secret that no one has ever heard of it until now. This is our house rules for Rules-Lite Gaming which uses the 2d10 system. What is the 2d10 system you ask? It is intended to replace the 1d20 used commonly in some RPG systems. I think the big advantage of using 2d10 instead of 1d20 is that the roll results in a 'bell curve' with most of the re...
