Osseous

I created this game as part of Ray Otus' Anchorites Appreciate Arneson Month.

Using the following design principles, I wanted to see just how little was required to create a functioning game system:

• One roll to rule them all. A clear core mechanic for every occasion.
• Strictly 2d6. No opposed rolls and no advantage/disadvantage.
• Simple language, easy to read, easy to use and easy to grok.
• Fits on a single page but with print large enough for my tired old eyes.

There are so many great sources for random tables and lots of fun to be had putting that kind of stuff together... Oh yeah, and I’m too damn lazy to write all that myself.

[Edit] On discovering FKR principles, Osseous has evolved (or should that be devolved?) into a "game" called Pith. https://free-thrall.itch.io/pith
