Macabre
A one-page brutalist adventure game. Suited for low-powered, horror OSR/FKR play.Settings I think would work well with this: - Dark Fantasy (Dungeon Crawls or Black Company-type Picaresque)- Science-Fiction (Mothership/Alien-type probably works better than Star Trek)- Weird West (does not need to be set in the US, probably should not)- Historical or Contemporary Horror, Investigation, etc.In this, you will find:- Simple freeform character generation, + hit points- Accessible 2D6-based mechanics based off the original adventure fantasy game- Sacrifice rule for cruelty and heroism alikeMore of this on my blog.
