I started working on a solo notebook RPG after getting sucked into GnollHack on my phone ruined my progress on reducing screen time (also RIP Grindor, level 19 elf ranger, killed by Scorpius due to me not understanding illness mechanics馃槶).
I wanted something on paper that has a similar vibe (though this has nowhere near the depth). Just fighting monsters, exploring infinite dungeons, collecting loot and learning spells.
I have never written an RPG system before, but it was fun! I鈥檓 still finishing up development and making tweaks as I play, but it鈥檚 finished enough to play test!
Looks like a fun game. Humans draw the short straw in terms of starting ability though, don鈥檛 we?
Yes I was just thinking a few minutes ago (after my Dwarf Warrior鈥檚 untimely demise) that I should try human again next, and really there isn鈥檛 a situation where they are better. I think I should update it to +1 attribute and +1 skill, so they don鈥檛 get modifier bonuses that boost them long term, but start slightly farther along than other races.
