[Phone PDF] Figment is a simple story-game mainly intended for play with or by children. As an “ultra-lite†game it relies only upon rock-paper-scissors to settle matters of fate and requires almost nothing in the way of preparation. The story can be your own or drawn from your favorite fairy tales, myths, bed-time stories, movies, animation, etc. You only need a Storyteller, some Players, and boundless imagination! |

Clowns. We've all seen them... riding their unicycles, blowing up balloons at kid's parties, piling in garish hordes from tiny cars, waddling around in bulbous red shoes, passed out in a dumpster stinking of booze and regret. For what do these martyrs of mirth sacrifice themselves? The answer is they do it for us. Not just to fill our need for laughter and merriment, but because they defy the doom of mankind! Clowns are man's only salvation against… Vampires. |

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. |

You are bounty hunters in a post-mecha world, hunting down the rogue pilots and soldiers that refuse to turn in their license and submit to the new Space Mom mega hegemony. The universe and its people are shaped by Before, the war where massive war machines, sinister warminds, and the mechs that walked the stars, caused massive, planet-wide destruction and left the universe in a mess of mecha wreckage.
How long before you make a choice?
How long before you rebel?

A hack of "Agon" by John Harper and Sean Nittner. In this game, you transpose the epic tales of ancient myth onto the lives of down on their luck drifters during the Great Depression. One core theme of the game is keeping the game ambiguously magical: folks might talk about ghosts, hoodoo and strange powers, but it is left unresolved if these things are really magical or merely superstition and metaphor. You will need the base game of Agon to make any sense of this document.

Wandrils is a system-agnostic random-path inter-planar micro-dungeon (whew!). With a little work on your end it can be easily imported into any game that features inter-planar weirdness (i.e. Troika, Rifts, D&D, etc.).
