Hack100 is a tabletop role-playing game system in which characters can be created in minutes and the vast majority of in-game actions are covered by around a dozen, rather than dozens of, skills.

It is also very flexible, eschewing standard lists of professions, skills, powers and monsters in favour of a freeform, collaborative approach. It is a generic system that is suitable for most genres of role-playing games.

FIST: Ultra Edition is a tabletop roleplaying game about paranormal mercenaries doing the tough jobs no one else can. In the game, you belong to a legendary rogue mercenary unit called FIST. You are a soldier of fortune who doesn’t fit into modern society. You are a disposable gun for hire, caught up in the death and destruction of pointless proxy wars and oppressive establishments. You may also be someone who can turn into a ghost or control bees with your mind.

A one-shot tabletop RPG for up to six players (and one GM); where you play orcs trying to infiltrate a human infested city and abduct Prince Theodore Holstein. The rules are written with an eye to make them easy to pick up and learn, and encourage stupid plans and wild distractions, so it's a great game for cons - or just to keep on your shelf if your regular game is called off on short notice.

Havoc Brigade: https://gshowitt.itch.io/havoc-brigade

The Havoc brigade system is also being used for Eat the Reich in which you, a vampire commando, are coffin-dropped into occupied Paris and must cut a bloody swathe through nazi forces en route to your ultimate goal: drinking all of Adolf Hitler's blood.

The game is fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. It’s built for sword-and-sorcery adventures where fell monsters slither in darkness and frosty gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered.

Many have heard of the island of Neverland. Stories of pirates, mermaids and Peter Pan are told by parents around the world to send their children off to a happy, dreaming sleep. But, it’s been a long time since the Darlings first flew to Neverland and a new story is about to be told. Your own.

Take a journey into the world of Peter Pan and its mysterious inhabitants in Neverland: A Fantasy RPG Setting. The book is a feature-length hex crawl campaign, intended for sandbox exploration. Created by Andrew Kolb, you’ll find endless adventure inside, lovingly adapted from the tales of Peter Pan and tailored for an older audience. Each hex is self-contained, brimming with lore from Peter Pan and the Darlings’ escapades.

The traditional wilderness mapping in OSR games is by use of the Hexcrawl. A hex grid is over-layed the map and is used for traversing the world. In this episode I offer an alternative - the Point Crawl. It holds less information than a hex map but arguably is of more use to a GM and clearer to understand.

Also call ins from Colin Green of Spikepit, Jason and TJ of Malodorous Miasma Meltdown.
