Obscure Adventures 1.0
Obscure Adventures 1.0 is a streamlined OSR game designed to introduce players unfamiliar with role-playing games (RPGs) quickly, while still maintaining random tables for quick setup without the need for optimization or analysis paralysis. The goal was simple - make it easy and flexible enough so new GMers can jump into more RPG sessions easily after some practice/playtime in this one! To accomplish these goals: Obscure Adventures 1.0 uses a lean, rule-set that's OSR compatible; the game mechanics are based on random tables to quicken up gameplay without requiring optimization or analysis paralysis. The GM can quickly run and explain rules while allowing for classless character development progression with easy attribute conversions (constitution merged into strength) as well as Empathy skills in Charisma area, which represent better differentiation of attributes within a single sheet OSR compatibility is included among features to ensure seamless gameplay between RPGs compatible games without sacrificing the narrative's focus on storytelling. The game also offers optional player-choices and possible softening or harshness with Dilems (decisions), as well as flexibility in character creation, allowing for adjustments according to group preferences/preferences while keeping a similar emphasis of lethality through choices made by players themselves versus GM
