This is the website for the 140c Role-Playing Game project.
It started by the "Quest" for the smallest RPG system possible, and ended up in this tongue-in-cheek challenge:
Can we actually design a (playable) RPG system that would fit in a tweet?
(published: 2014-07-16 - 140c)
STR/DEX/INT spread -2,0,+1
+1:Warrior/STR,Thief/DEX,Mage/INT
HP:6+STR+lvl
Act:2d6+stat(-1/HP<6). 6-:KO, 7-9:so-so, 10+:OK
Spell: INT+lvl/day
(a.k.a "the Grand Vernois" - 137c)
Lvl: 0
STR/DEX/INT (-2<=stat<=+1, sum==0)
HP: 6+STR+lvl
Act: 2d6+stat(-1/HP<6) 6-:KO, 7-9:so-so, 10+:OK
Spell: INT+lvl/day if Magic-aware
The "Act" resolution system is borrowed from the Apocalypse World RPG engine ; it's rock solid and has been playtested by hundreds.
- [WIP] Actually build a website out of this document,
- Advanced rules that would develop the "fuzzy" areas (Fights, Magic, Levels). My intent is to squeeze each section to a maximum of 140c.
- Variants and spin-offs (Cthulhu, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Zombie, Cowboys,...)
- @140cRPG on twitter,
- Apocalypse World,
- Dungeon World
