A streamlined, generic take on the PbtA system. The idea here is that a group of people could sit down with a weird idea and be playing in half an hour, tops. Character creation is preceded by game customization, which means each Simple World game is grounded in different ideas and principles.

In SPLINTER, you embody two characters - the Player, a modern-day gladiator seeking fame or freedom, and their Avatar, a denizen of the Splinter. The Avatar is unaware that it is connected to its Player in any way, and has its own goals, factions, and identity. This creates a unique roleplaying opportunity unlike any other game.

A fan-made tabletop game for the manga/anime Soul Eater. Soul Eater is a (sometimes) dark fantasy at it's finest, full of action, more action, and pervy jokes. The heroes are over the top. The villains are powerful. The world has a strange feel (oh wait that is the madness). The story is familiar to those who watched and read it but it hasn't been told like this before. It has anime elements that speak to the audience. It's all over the place; everything is everywhere always. |

5 - Highly Crunchy |
A roleplaying parody of Star Trek, in the spirit of the Star Wreck movies. The characters screw everything up fabulously and grow even more incompetent in the process.

An RPG about people who live in a superhero universe, doin' the jobz and payin' the billz. Elsewhere, Solarman is punching out the villainous Dr. Thunder right now, but this is not a game about him. This is about the guys in the background, who have to deal with the everyday shit that most superheroes don’t worry about. Sure, you have some superpowers, but you still gotta pay the rent, right? |
