Searchers of the Unknown

Searchers of the Unknown started as a one-page roleplaying game where player characters were entirely defined by the minimalist old school Dungeons & Dragons stat block. For instance: "AC 7, MV 9, HD 2, hp 9, #AT 1, D 1d8 mace".

All actions are based on that abbreviated stat block. The core mechanic of the system uses a level plus AC roll under mechanic, using an opponent's AC when attacking or the character's own AC when trying to be stealthy.

The original game spawned many imitators either directly or through one of its descendants, particularly SotU * Refired.

The parent system is: D&D / OSR.

Subsidiary systems are: Funkin Fists of Fu, Searchers of the Unknown d20, SotU * Refired.
