The Origin System
UNDERGOING A COMPLETE REWRITE This version of tOS will cease to exist as it is being completely reworked from the ground up. The new version may reuse some of the elements found in this version, but the game itself will be very different. What is The Origin System? Origin is designed to be a free, rules-lite, narrative-focused, genre-agnostic, brutal survival, tabletop roleplaying game for groups of 2-4 people, that is easy to play both digitally and in person.
