I recently ran a session of Helm, the new OSR system from Jon Davis (sivads-sanctum.itch.io). It's a genuinely fun little system, very much worth picking up. Here's some system notes and a couple of character sheets. Making Characters The character generation system is quite unique. You roll a 1d6 for each body location - Head, … Continue reading Helm: A mini-review and character sheet for a low fantasy game

Omega 99: Character sheet for Cepheus Deluxe
Since I'm putting together more Omega 99 stuff, I thought I'd release my latest version of my fillable Omega 99 character sheet. This one is designed to work with Cepheus Deluxe rules. It'll auto generate Stamina and Lifeblood boxes and has a box for Hero Points. The third page is a foldable table tent that … Continue reading Omega 99: Character sheet for Cepheus Deluxe
Clone Farm: Mini-review, character sheet, and a player map
I just ran a quick one-shot of Clone Farm, a 30 page RPG from Goblinoid Games specifically designed to be run in a single game session. It includes a simplified version of the same rule system that old Pacesetter games like Chill and Timemaster used. The players play clones who wake up in a mysterious … Continue reading Clone Farm: Mini-review, character sheet, and a player map
Warlords of Atlantis: Character sheets for the Barbaric! setting
Barbaric! There's an interesting low fantasy RPG, based on the Cepheus Engine system, called Barbaric! from Stellagama Publishing. It's a much lighter, quicker version of the whole 2d6/Cepheus/Traveller style of game. There isn't any career lifepath system and the stats have been completely replaced with a common set of seven skills. It's somewhat closer to … Continue reading Warlords of Atlantis: Character sheets for the Barbaric! setting
Leafpunk: Mini-review and character sheets for a vegetational Troika! setting
I recently ran a one-shot of Troika! using the Leafpunk (DrivethruRPG) setting by J. Kap. It's a great, strange little setting, full of fun ideas. Here's what it's about: A post-apocalypse world overrun with greenery, over a thousand years in the future. The ecosystem is dominated by plant life.Other than humans, there are few or … Continue reading Leafpunk: Mini-review and character sheets for a vegetational Troika! setting

New Character Sheets for Classic Traveller
The old, boring CT Sheet The original Classic Traveller from 1977 had a character sheet available in the original book. It was seemingly designed to look like an actual bureaucratic form, so visually, it was pretty uninteresting. I wanted to make my own custom character sheets for Classic Traveller that are a little larger, nicer … Continue reading New Character Sheets for Classic Traveller
Tiny Cthulhu: Mini-Review and Fillable Character Sheets
One of the more interesting indie RPG systems out there is Gallant Knight Games' Tiny D6 system. Gallant Knight has produced a lot of material for Tiny D6 - Tiny Dungeon, Tiny Wastelands, Tiny Supers, and even a Baywatch-based system called Beach Patrol. Each of these books are self-contained. There is no core Tiny D6 … Continue reading Tiny Cthulhu: Mini-Review and Fillable Character Sheets
Viking Death Squad: Fillable version of the Character sheet
Just picked up a copy of Viking Death Squad, a gonzo little OSR-style RPG from Runehammer games. It's got alien War Pigs, demons, Borgs, and unfrozen vikings. It's a very heavy-metal inspired game. There's a PDF character sheet available, but it's not fillable, so I've made a revised version of the original that is fillable, … Continue reading Viking Death Squad: Fillable version of the Character sheet
octaNe: mini-review and character sheet for the B-movie post-apocalypse.
Just ran a one-shot of octaNe, from Memento Mori Theatricks. It's a RPG from 2004 described as a "psychotronic game of post-apocalyptic, trash-culture America!" It's set in a pulpy, gonzo version of a post-apocalypse America, clearly inspired by a mixture of Mad Max, Six-String Samurai, and pretty much any B-Movie from the last century. Imagine … Continue reading octaNe: mini-review and character sheet for the B-movie post-apocalypse.
