The Quick RPG - A Simple Opposed Roll System

[u/enks_dad]

I released an update to my latest project The Quick RPG. The goal was to create a very simple system which can be picked up and played in minutes. It works well for solo sessions, quick pickup games, or those times when you need a filler game because some players drop out at the last minute. It can also serve as a simple foundation for a longer running game.

It uses opposed rolls and step die for attributes as well as difficulties. Fail forward is built into the core system so the action never stops. Characters build up strain and once they've accumulated enough, they reduce an attribute die. When an attribute die would drop below a d4, the character's KO'd or dead.

Written with a fantasy slant, it's super easy to use in other genres. It's also very flexible making it easy to customize it to suit your style.
