The Pamphlet Of The Old Ones
This roleplaying game uses a d20 roll-under mechanic and features simplified attributes (mind & body), skills reduced to 21 with one combat skill check instead of multiple rolls per action/movement phase, descriptor modifiers for occupation in addition to stats like HP or damage. It is designed based on the principles found in popular mythos roleplaying systems but has been reinterpreted simplistically while maintaining its core feel. If there are any missing elements that enhance gameplay experience and creator contact information if needed.
