The Retro Hack
The Retro Hack is a new take on an old genre, drawing from both classic and modern design elements to create something unique that brings together different playstyles in one game world with resource management as its main focus while also introducing some collaborative aspect for players who want more control over their character's goals. The ruleset includes 15 pages of booklet material plus 2-page character sheet designed specifically for the Retro Hack, along with fast and streamlined system options to make it easy for both beginners in tabletop games or experienced gamers looking for a fresh take on the genre they've loved since childhood.
