expgame – a sciency fiction role playing game - eviltoast

I created this community about half a year ago to learn how to create a community. I was fully expecting the usual complete absence of humanity that most other socials entail. Needless to say I was pleasantly shocked to have a real person ask a question. I will try and pin this to the top. Maybe humans will be interested maybe not. :)

EXP is a sciency fiction tabletop role-playing game. EXP is not a video game, a movie or an app. You play EXP with dice and other people. Enjoy.

EXP is a heavily play tested, rigorously edited, RPG on its 7th version. It has a history that stretches from a 1970s home brew to yesterday’s git push. EXP is under active development. The game is Free and open source (CC 4.0 share with attribution), and available on the web or GitHub. EXP was inspired by the RPGs Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World.

The game itself is mythos light sciency fiction with loads of tech, mutations, and lots of rules. Settle combat with a tactical war game like system or a story based theatrical one. The tactical system uses a kilodie mechanic, to allow for highly granular combat tuning. The theatrical system uses a 4D2 mechanic, to create descriptive narrative outcomes. The ruleset is resilient and rules can be shed without collapsing playability. There are support tools for generating personas and rolling dice.
