Newt Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 SimpleQuest is a concise and straightforward D100 system, easy to play yet filled with all the tense excitement and storytelling potential associated with percentile systems. It is a concise and compact version of OpenQuest, with a few extra rules to make it more pickup and play. Compact for travelling and viewing on phones/tablets Concise for straightforward fantasy games, one-shots and short campaigns. This hardcover book weighs in at just over 150 pages, in 6×9 inch format, with full-colour illustrations by Jeshields and a gorgeous wrap round cover by Jon Hodgson. This book contains the following chapters. Characters. Use either a points allocation or a random system to generate characters who are motivated and capable of going on fantastic and thrilling adventures. Equipment. This chapter deals with the tools of the adventuring trade. Weapons, armour and general gear such as rope, backpacks and transport costs. Rules. This chapter explains the system’s workhorse, the D100 Skill Test, in its basic and opposed versions. There is also a section of spot rules for common situations that may arise during the game. Spot Rules for common adventuring situations.Combat. This subset of the rules looks at what happens when blades are drawn and used in anger. Magic. This chapter details a single magic system that every player character uses. Creatures. Monsters and animals to populate your adventures. Gods and Goddesses.

Note I’m currently selling the nicely digitally printed copies leftover from the Kickstarter. It has sewn pages, a ribbon, printed endpapers and a short introductory adventure (“The Well”). 10 Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Slowly getting back into the swing of things as the Summer holidays begin to fade, and some important family stuff is finally being resolved. OpenQuest Dungeons is with Dr Mitch for proofing, and I’m working on getting the SimpleQuest supplements (essentially OQ books, too 🙂 ) done. SimpleQuest now has a release page here, so you can see where I’m up to with it as a game line.
