The Mudlark Hack $3.00

The Mudlark Hack: $3.00

Publisher: Angry Owlbear Publishing

This is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) based on The Black Hack, a rules-light Old School Renaissance (OSR) fantasy game with some modern elements. Adapted for one-shot games and convention play, the game can also run a full campaign from first to tenth level. Play the game whole cloth or pull out modular ideas and sub-systems to use in other RPGs. Elements include:

  • Simple “roll under” system that is flexible and elegant
  • Player-facing mechanics that puts the action in the players hands
  • “Roll and Keep” system for damage that allows variance without huge swings typical in most exploding dice systems
  • Armor as damage reduction instead of hit reduction
  • Usage dice to make resource management easier and more fun
  • Innovative time measurement and random encounter system that allows for choices that build tension and allow players to “push their luck”
  • Effort based skill system allowing binary tests to have more weight
  • Fun mini game for treasure acquisition that gives players more choices and allows sessions to have a “winner” without causing PVP problems
