"...the combat system is solid and fast paced and the whole thing screams out for some gonzo play....Murderhobos doesn't disappoint." -- Johua De Santo, Genius Loci review
"Best 6 pages of gaming I've read in awhile." -- Joe E on Google+
MurderHobos gets to the meat of dungeon crawling: killing things and taking their stuff.
Your character doesn't have Charisma or Wisdom. Your character has stats like Killing, Avoiding Being Killed, and Knowing Shit. The classes are things like Sneaky Bastard and Unhinged Priest. You roll a d20, add a few modifiers, and compare it to a target number.
But you will not be adventuring in an easy world where gold rains down on you from the heavens. No. Your weapons will break. Magical healing gets really weird, really fast. If you take more hits than your allowance, you die.
At least you heal up every day. Because you're a MurderHobo.
MurderHobos is a simple OSR game that hews closely to d20 mechanics. The stats are silly, but they do make a playable game.
Here's what you'll get:
- A six-page PDF containing all the rules, with art by Khairul Hisham and Peter Seckler
- A no-art .azw3 file for newer Kindles
- A no-art .mobi file for older Kindles
- A no-art .epub file for other eReaders
The System
Rolls are d20 + the relevant stat vs. a target difficulty number. If you roll above the difficulty, you succeed. If you roll equal to or 1 less, you get a partial success. If you roll less than that, you fail and the monster gets a free attack against you.
