Game Structure: A referee controls and
describes the world to players who
then describe how their characters act
in the world. this can be in character or
a third person's description of the action.
When things are uncertain the arbitrator is destiny (A.K.A. rolling
dice)
You have three stats to assign during character creation a d6 a d8 and a
d10. you assign one of these dice to the three stats below.
Brute: is your physical prowess this stat measures things that require
muscles and savagery, melee combat, tests of strength, and resisting
poison.
Erudite: when you need speaking, reading, and perception or cunning to
be measured numerically this is your stat.
Skulker: sneaking, aiming, balancing, and dodging when they need to be
measured numerically this is your stat.

Dangerous Actions
If an action has a risk of danger,
the difference between the roll and
Difficulty Score is the amount of
damage inflicted.
Example:
As an action, a Player Character fights
a mechanical travesty (a machine with a human baby who has been
converted into a hard drive to store the programming to get around
the rules of no AI by the overlords) with a DS of 10. The
player rolls D12 from their
Brute ability, and a D4 from their sword, and
The total is 13.
The difference between 13 and 10 is
3, so the creature takes 3 damage.
A nonplayer character’s DS is also
their Health Points, so now the mechanical travesty Difficulty Score
is 7. If the roll
was 8 then the Player Character would
have lost 2 health.

Inventory
Your Inventory Score is how many
items you can carry comfortably.
For each item that exceeds your
Inventory Score subtract 1 from any
Brute or Skulker Rolls.
Death
When a character’s Health Points reach
zero, they die.
Advancement
Level up every 2 game sessions. Each
level, raise a class score by 1 die (for example a D6 boosted from
leveling up would be a D8) and raise
either Health or Inventory Score by 1.
Healing
Regain lost Health Points by spending
the night in a safe spot
