In Name Only [$5.00]

In Name Only [$5.00]:

Designed by Doug Levandowski & J. Harper Rosetree, In Name Only is a minimalist role-playing system where your real, actual name determines all your skills, abilities, and powers. Letters in your name correspond to talents. For example, A is for Archery and B is for Brawling. A longer name means more talents with a smaller bonus while a shorter name means fewer talents but with a larger bonus.

In Name Only uses a simple system. When players need to make checks, they roll a d20 and add a bonus (usually between +3 and +5 depending on the length of their name). If the result is 10 or more, they succeed.

Check modifiers are used to alter the circumstances and mechanics of a check. For example, a difficult check requires a 15 to succeed instead of a 10 while a dangerous check knocks a character out of the game for the remainder of the scene if they fail it.
In order to download this game you must purchase it at or above the minimum price of $5 USD. You will get access to the following files:
