THE DARK ENGINE: MINI GRIMDARK TTRPG SYSTEM

THE D.A.R.K ENGINE IS A MINI GRIMDARK TTRPG SYSTEM THAT FOCUSES ON COMBAT LETHALITY AND AESTETHIC/SYSTEM-BASED SIMILARITIES TO BOTH 3.5E AND BASIC/EXPERT. THE D.A.R.K ENGINE CAN BE USED TO RUN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! HIGH FANTASY, LOW FANTASY, HARD SCI-FI, HORROR, EVEN CYBERPUNK! THE CORE DIFFERENCE FROM 3.5E AND B/X IS SIMPLE: -NARRATIVE ACTIONS ARE RESOLVED WITH 1D20 -NARRATIVE ACTIONS WITH INTRINSIC CLASS ABILITY, TRAIT OR FURTHER NARRATIVE ADVANTAGE ARE RESOLVED WITH 2D20 (HIGHEST ROLL) -NARRATIVE ACTIONS AGAINST AN OPPONENT WITH AN INTRINSIC CLASS ABILITY, TRAIT OR FURTHER NARRATIVE ADVANTAGE A, OR REGULAR NARRATIVE ACTIONS DONE WHILE UNDER DIS ARE MADE WITH A 2D20 ROLL (TAKE LOWEST ROLL) -COMBAT ACTIONS ARE TAKEN WITH 1D10! SAME RULES APPLY, COMBAT ADV? 2D10, HIGHEST ROLL. COMBAT DIS? 2D10, LOWEST ROLL. ENJOY! CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS ALWAYS WELCOME, AS IT DRIVES IMPROVEMENT.
