Syndrig

Syndrig (Old English for separate, distinct, or individual) is a rules-lite RPG that proves simple doesn't mean shallow. With just a single d6, create distinct characters and dive into adventures in minutes.

Simplicity at the core, but that doesn't mean the game isn't nuanced. Characters have a wide variety of abilities making them feel distinct from each other.  Clerics and Wizards have class specific spell lists with a variety of options. Rangers have animal companions and enemies can be simple to complex with special abilities.

Magic is through a Mana resource which ebbs and flows as the adventure progresses. Characters can burn Mana to gain benefits and burn HP to gain Mana when desperate. 

The player-facing resolution mechanic is very simple. Roll a D6 vs a difficulty. There are no stats or skills to manage. Just gear, abilities, and spells, which may alter the difficulty. Enemies have To Hit and To Avoid difficulties. In combat, roll equal or above To Hit to damage the enemy and roll equal or above To Avoid to dodge the enemy's attack.

The game also includes a Solo Play section with Solo Tools. These include oracles, theme tables, descriptors, and systems to randomize enemy combat actions.

Built to be hacked. The class system, simple mechanics, and table-driven content make it easy to customize. Create new classes with unique ability tables, design monsters with special powers, or use the system to make a space opera or cyberpunk game. Being released under Creative Commons 4.0 allows you to take it and make it yours.
