Rules Light Games List

Discover Awesome Games

This page aims to feature a wide selection of rules light gaming systems. The list is ever evolving with a goal of providing solid proven TTRPG game systems.

Cairn 2e

An Into the Odd and Knave inspired game continually supported by Yochai Gal. The full text is CC-BY-SA 4.0 licensed making it extremely easy to create content for. (I love game designers who do this!)

Microlite20 Purest Essence

A Microlite hack of the 3rd Edition SRD by Robin V. Stacey, Darrell King, and Al Krombach.

Whitebox FMAG

A concise restatement of OD&D written by Charlie Mason using Swords and Wizardry as a base. For those curious, FMAG stands for Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game. The PDF is free, but the physical book is typically around $5 on Amazon, which frankly is a steal.
