If there’s one thing to give the Arks some comfort, it’s the fact that Hobgobs like to take their prey alive; they just can’t stand salted meats. Will the party make it out of the swamp, or are they destined to be hobgobbled up? </blockquote> </article> <article> <h1>WEGS 101: Skill Deck</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-03</p> From the publisher: <blockquote> By popular demand, we've printed the official Old Skool skill deck!

Characters are defined by four stats (Strength, Dexterity, Mind, and Charisma) generated using a skewed 2d6 roll (that makes stats of 10 more uncommon) and four skills (Physical, Coordination, Knowledge, and Communication). Each stat has an associated target number, ranging from 12 to 5. Skill checks are made by rolling 2d6 plus the skill rank and trying to beat the target number. Backgrounds ("training") give a character two points in an appropriate skill or skills. Characters gain five or more action points every time they level, which can be spent to add 1d6 to a roll. There are rules for converting Coordination and Knowledge into <em> Mechwarrior</em>'s Piloting and Gunnery skills. Combat uses a simple (table-based) hit location system and hex-grid based positioning. The terrain and movement modifiers from <em> Battletech </em> apply. Attacks are skill checks, plus modifiers. Each of the more than a dozen weapons dose a fixed number of dice of damage, which armor reduces. A starting equipment list and a table of typical NPCs by profession are provided. </article> <article> <h1>Rule One #2</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> </article> <article> <h1>Signs & Portents #74</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> </article> <article> <h1>Searchers in SPAAAACE!!!</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Searchers in SPAAAACE!!! </em> (<em>SiS!</em>) is a one-page old school roleplaying game based on the one-page old school roleplaying game <em> SotU * Refired </em> v3, which in turned is based on <em> Searchers of the Unknown</em>. Rather than being a standard fantasy dungeon crawl, <em>SiS!</em> assumes a science fiction setting with aliens (who are mechanically identical to humans), advanced science, and space travel. Uses the damage rules from <em> Refired</em>, and a system very similar to that in <em> Raiders of the Unknown</em>. There are basic weapon, armor, and spaceship point buy systems, and a character's profession provides a bonus to related checks. </article> <article> <h1>Mutant Got Gunz?</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Mutant Got Gunz? </em> (<em>MGG?</em>) is a one-page old school roleplaying game based on the one-page old school roleplaying game <em> SotU * Refired </em> v3, which in turned is based on <em> Searchers of the Unknown</em>. Rather than being a fantasy dungeon crawl, <em>MGG?</em> is set in a post-apocalyptic, mutant-infested wasteland whose inhabitants use guns to blow away the omnipresent giant bugs, and ammo is the default currency. Uses 1d20 plus level, trying to exceed an armor class or a fixed target number to succeed. The gunfire options include rules for sweeping fire and blasts. Armor and equipment are rolled randomly. </article> <article> <h1>Raiders of the Unknown</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Raiders of the Unknown </em> (<em>RofU</em>) is a one-page old school roleplaying game based on the one-page old school roleplaying game <em> SotU * Refired </em> v3, which in turned is based on <em> Searchers of the Unknown</em>. Rather than being a fantasy dungeon crawl, <em>RofU</em> is an homage to the <em> Indiana Jones </em> movies and other pulp fiction. Uses a 1d20 plus move or level and modifers mechanic. If the roll plus modifiers matches or exceeds a target's armor class or a fixed target number, the attempt is successful. Has rules for weapons mishaps, and damage uses the quirky rules from <em> Refired</em>. A character's vocation provides a bonus to related checks. </article> <article> <h1>Karry on Krawling v2</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Karry on Krawling </em> is a one-page old school roleplaying game based on the one-page old school roleplaying game <em> SotU * Refired </em> v3, which in turned is based on <em> Searchers of the Unknown</em>. Taking inspiration from <em> Tunnels & Trolls</em>, <em> KoK </em> players take on the role of sneaky and vicious humanoids instead of valorous humans and demihumans. Characters can choose to be a black hobbit, red orc, or cave troll; and a wizard, rogue, or warrior. The basic attack mechanic is 1dX plus a 0, 1/2 HD, or HD plus weapon bonus. All attack rolls from a single side of a melee are added together to determine the winning side, and the difference between the two sets of rolls is distributed as damage between the characters on the losing side. Other checks use 1d20 plus level (and sometimes move) compared to a target number. Uses damage resistance instead of armor class. </article> <article> <h1>SotU * Refired</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> SotU * Refired </em> (originally, <em>Re-Searchers of the Unknown</em>) is a one-page roleplaying game inspired by <em> Searchers of the Unknown </em> (<em>SotU</em>), that adds races (elves, dwarves, and men), classes (fighters, thieves, and wizards) with different movement rates, helmets, additional weapons, and rules for spellcasting. The roll under level plus AC mechanic from the original <em> SotU </em> is modified to 1d20 plus the attacker's level (or half the attacker's level) and the defender's armor class (20 or higher is a success). Damage has been changed from a simple roll to rolling a number of dice equal to a monster's hit dice or based on the weapon type. All dice with the same number are added together, and the highest sum is the damage. Other checks use 1d20 plus some multiplier of level compared against AC or a fixed target number. </article> <article> <h1>Spellcasters of the Unknown</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Spellcasters of the Unknown </em> is a one-page supplement for the one-page roleplaying game <em> Searchers of the Unknown </em> that allows spellcasting characters. Clerics only get 1d6 hit dice, one attack, and limited weapons, but gain the ability to turn undead, advance in levels more quickly, and cast spells starting at 2nd level. Wizards get 1d4 hit dice, one attack, no armor, limited weapons, and gain levels more slowly, but can cast spells. A handful of cleric spells go up to 3rd level are provided, as are wizard spells up to 4th level. </article> <article> <h1>Sailing the Skies of Mars</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Swashbucklers of Mar </em> is a one-page vehicle combat and supplement for the one-page roleplaying game <em> Swashbucklers of Mars</em>. The stat blocks and rules for skyships from one-person fliers to giant galleons are almost identical to those used for characters in the core rules, including gaining levels by killing other vehicles. Three brief adventure seeds are the bottom of the page. </article> <article> <h1>Funkin Fists of Fu</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Funkin Fists of Fu </em> (<em>FFoF</em>) is a one-page old school roleplaying game inspired by <em> Raiders of the Unknown </em> and <em> Witches of N'Kai</em>, and using a modified set of rules based on those in their ancestor <em> Searchers of the Unknown </em> (<em>SotU</em>). Instead of being based on pulp action, sword & sorcery, or dungeon crawling, <em> Funkin Fists of Fu </em> draws from the blaxsploitation funk and Kung Fu of the 1970s. Characters are defined by by their speed (modified by level, unlike in <em>SotU</em>), health (hit points), martial arts style, what they're wearing ("superfly"), and the size of their 'fro. <em> FFoF </em> modifies the original game's level plus armor class combat mechanic to 1d20 plus level compared to the target's move. General actions are resolved by rolling 1d20 plus the movement rate, and trying reach the target number of 20. Damage is always 1d6, but melee weapons allow a character to roll twice and pick the best result. </article> <article> <h1>Witches of N'Kai</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Witches of N'Kai </em> is a one-page roleplaying game inspired by the setting and themes from <em> Carcosa</em>, an unofficial supplement to the original version of <em> Dungeons & Dragons</em>. The game is set beneath the ruins of Yoth, in the caverns of N'Kai, where witches and warlocks seek occult power amidst the blasphemous spawn of the Great Old Ones. Uses the roll under level plus AC mechanic from <em> Searchers of the Unknown</em>. Unlike the original game, characters can learn a new ritual every time they gain a level, though they are required to perform a sacrifice. Artifacts of a alien technology can be deciphered by a save. The names and powers of spawn are randomly generated. </article> <article> <h1>Swashbucklers of Mars</h1> <p>RPGnet Gaming Index — 2009-11-01</p> <em> Swashbucklers of Mar </em> is a one-page roleplaying game based on <em> Searchers of the Unknown </em> (<em>SotU</em>), but inspired by planetary romances like Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom series.
