Enter the era of ice-age hunters! Select a Tribal Totem, Master Tribal Magic, Wander the Two Worlds, and Quest For Artifacts of Power For Your Tribe.
In true primitive fashion, Task Resolution is determined by using STONES: Orange stones are called Sunstones; grey stones are Earthstones. You can use glass beads, ornamental pebbles, whatever you can find. You'll need maybe ten of one colour and ten of another, put them in a bag and you're ready to go.

Enter Hallow, the blasted remnants of what once was a world. In Hallow, humans, elves, and other traditional humanoid creatures of high fantasy survive – and often prosper – in small plots of habitable terrain.

Crisis is a story game of escalating stakes racing against disaster to tell a story. Players define the margins and color in the major points at the beginning of the session, and explore those plots, people, and places in detail during the scenes themselves. Each scene features a player character designated the Protagonist whose story is told for that scene. Another player is their Foil, putting obstacles in their way to test them and show all of us what they are capable of. |

CORE is a hybrid RPG SRD: it uses trad concepts & narrativist techniques to produce character-driven emergent story. The design focus on simplicity, speed, and improvisation. Everything is on the same scale. All actions use a single Yes/No/And/But mechanic. Results are narratively interpreted. And it was built to be hacked. |
