Phiction-Knosis-Deth is a rules-lite RPG of 1970s paranoid conspiracy and investigation. It contains a 5-page player's guide and a 5-page gamemaster's guide of brutally efficient rules designed to plunge players into a terrifying vortex of unstable reality as they take on the role of an out-of-their-depth average Dick or Jane called from their mundane life to serve as cosmic cannon fodder in a conflict they neither started nor fully understand.
P-K-D has been intentionally designed to accommodate both longer, investigative campaigns and pick-up-and-play, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants RP sessions. The game uses a simple roll under 1d10 system, character creation is lightning-fast, and the game is sprinkled liberally throughout with helpful random tables for the gamemaster.
Along with a basic setting and rules system, P-K-D offers an exportable mechanic for creating and resolving the universe-melting paradoxes that can come with time-travel, overlapping realities, or world-altering magic. If you've ever wanted to drive the metaphysical laws of the universe insane right alongside your characters, P-K-D can help you do it.
So drop the needle on that Jefferson Airplane LP, pour yourself some funny-tasting Kool-Aid, and take a long, strange trip with P-K-D.
Price: $1.99
