Old School Evolution

For January 2019, I've created a little one-page game for Tam's OMGAM project.  It is an "OSR" game, and I when I first pitched the idea I had joked that I would make a game each month, parodying the evolution of RPG styles over the decades.

I never really planned on doing that of course, but I do plan to keep making monthly games for this project.

This particular game started as a list of stats that you could "roll under" to do things.  It doesn't specify a number of characters per player, so you could run it "troupe style" if you wanted.  It doesn't specify any hitpoints or combat rules, or really much of anything.  If you wanted to have characters fight, they'd make opposed rolls and the results could be discussed by the Table and adjudicated by the Ref.

OMGAM 2019

Tam is running a contest called "One Micro-rpg Game A Month".

It isn't a challenge in the sense that it is a contest, rather it is a challenge to get it done.  Like a NaNoWriMo full of tiny sprints, all year long.
