A Pamphlet RPG for Elyden
Added 2021-11-06 16:01:02 +0000 UTCI had some time to waste and came up with a cute (if I can use such a word for Elyden) pamphlet RPG for the world. These little RPGs are quite popular now and I thought it would be a good exercise in trying to distil the world down into less than 2 A4 pages worth of space.
Its probably unbalanced, and there's probably lots of loopholes that can be exploited and there are no rules for levelling up (no one survives that long in Elyden...) though if it proves to be popular I may write a follow up for levelling up, adding weapons, and NPC stats. Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll update the doc, but there's only room for a certain amount of details - it's part of the charm of these pamphlet RPGs.

The only two notes that come to my mind are the following: - Giving freedom to player skillwise is ok, but if I were in you I'd still give some tables with the most common skills and relative "level of knowledge". There is another problem about this, in my opinion: you can be Expert in Roman sword and, at the same time, not have a skill in swords in general. The rule of "common sense" often needs guidelines, structures and examples. - The "Initiavie check" seems a bit strange to me, because it do not state a clear order, but even when considering the rolls you must add a rule about ties.
