Year Zero Nano [Free]

Year Zero Nano [Free]:

Year Zero Nano (YZN) is an even lighter off-shoot of Year Zero Mini -- both of which are designed to provide lightweight frameworks for quickly jumping into your favourite setting. 

Where other rules-light games might emphasise action or heroics, YZN is more down to earth - telling stories of a more gritty and relatable nature.

SIMPLE D6 DICE POOL SYSTEM

Using the Year Zero Engine as its basis (covered by an OGL from Free League Publishing), YZN uses a pool of standard six-sided dice, but differs slightly by looking for both 5s or 6s in the rolled dice pool. 

SUITABLE FOR ONE-SHOTS OR CAMPAIGNS

While YZN is best experienced in one-shots, convention games, or short campaigns (around a dozen sessions), it's also suitable for longer-term play.

INFLUENCES

YZN is inspired by a whole host of games. Whilst its core is based on the award-winning Tales From the Loop, it is also sprinkled with a bit of FATE Core, Alas for the Awful Sea (an awesome PBTA game), Abenteurspiel, and the FKR.

PHONE PDF

The PDF is provided as a "phone PDF" -- designed for seamless vertical scrolling on mobile phones. It is both bookmarked and fully hyperlinked.
