Game I've run the most: Into The Odd, I guess? Stripped down.

Been running playtests a bunch, and something ruleslight that I don't have to worry about helps when I need to see whether an adventure works ...

Firmly refusing to get out of the tank because if I do I have to deal with ruleslight TTRPG stuff like “roleplay”

I just linked to this yesterday / day before! I found Outlaw Merchant while looking for ruleslight hacks for 40K.

(That link is gone because it was part of a thread where Yochai was sharing WFRP hacks)

CALTROP CORE (by @titanomachyrpg.com) is actually a simple, easy to adapt core system. Using D4s (aka CALTROPS), the system is easy, intentionally built to encourage you to adapt it & make your own ruleslight TTRPGs with your friends!

It's an incredible resource, and well worth a look!

I've never seen a system I couldn't spinning either way, though.

FATE, for example, *could* reduce all of the Star Wars saga to one roll, but it could also spend ten sessions on one fight like a Naruto plot, lol

I like flexibility.

Care to discuss in more detail?

i have started playing 5e D&D again after a hiatus of a couple of years playing indie ruleslight games w friends and am currently exploring how nva and de-escalation can fit within the D&D mileu, both by refusing to be violent and maybe also in ending others’ violence. My DM is totally up for it.

What's described here is how I GM a table of 8 entirely new teens plus moms. Today! Which is gratifying. But more importantly, fun! And fast! And if it works for them, is fun for them, is fast for them, then it's all those things for a tableful of experienced players, too. #ttrpg #lazydm #ruleslight
Playing Dungeons and Dragons with its top designer made me a better, lazier DM
I had the chance to play DnD with Wizards of the Coast game designer Jeremy Crawford, and now I’m seriously reevaluating my DMing style.

Very interesting. Been running a very ruleslight game, for my and my player’s fun. Just a % chance. A little more elaborate. Would love to discuss, and tried. Not everything is what you want. Looking to whatever you bring to the table.

maybe the latter is stepping outside of traditional osr/nsr ways too, certainly one lart of this design is i want to do the ruleslight games i know but BIG. I want trad game as designed by a NSR fucker. maybe thats weird? but i like experimenting.

i think doomsong comes very close to this

🎲 In SUN ROT, chaos is part of the fun.

✦ Move, Act, Flip, Resolve - the heartbeat of our dying world
✦ Roll 4+ to hit -score a hit and flip a card
✦ Every 10 minutes, the Event deck transforms the city

Our ruleslight system keeps the focus on survival and storytelling.

QuestWorlds is supposed to be getting a new supplement to run its more narrative, ruleslight system with the RQG supplements. Its supposed to be out next year, I think.

I also have found that just dropping strike ranks and encumbrance has minimal effect on the game. You have to rework some spells
