The Best* Job On Earth!
Inspired by The OSR, Half-Life, and Unbridled Capitalism! A Game For The Modern Roller! Hello and welcome! "The Best* Job On Earth!" is a smaller project of mine that is a tip-toe into a genre I enjoy: modern sci-fi/paranormal investigation! The rules all fit on a page, and are written to be just as entertaining to read as to play. Paid in Experience and Opportunity! Welcome New Employee! Please fill out your personal info!  Note that supervisors are not beholden to know your name, and may refer to you by the 4-digit hiring code helpfully displayed on the front and rear of your uniform!

After testing it out with a few unsuspecting friends, it's proven to be a quick method of turning out interesting "Facilities" in 30 minutes to an hour, even if you've never built a dungeon before! I hope you'll agree it's worth the price-tag! I hope to use any proceeds from sales to convince my loving wife that writing RPGs is a perfectly valid profession, and that I'M NOT CRAZY! Sample Facilities Coming Soon! I've written and played a few facilities, but have yet to format them for publication. Keep an eye out, as at least a few will be free to download! The Cauldron: A researcher has fi
