Brains and Brawn is a PDF with four pages (free/pay what you want at DriveThruRPG). This 3d10 RPG can be used for any setting. The setting and random dungeon that I picked out came from Challenge Dungeon RPG (166 pages, free at the same place). The Solo Engine that I used was Bivius Solo (5 pages). I created four characters.

The adventure started with the PCs arriving at the outskirts of a ruins. Manson the necromancer was able to find a dead body and create a zombie. To complete their quest, they needed to kill the Boss Monster. Well, they found him in the first room they explored. They killed him and the treasure was a Rafflesia Plant (I didn’t see that coming). Herbalists use it as an ingredient and the PCs did harvest it. They exited the ruins and travelled towards the caves. They set up camp and it was a quiet evening.

The next day they entered the caves. They killed two monsters, triggered one trap, and found a wide variety of loot. They couldn’t use some of the loot, so in the future, they will need to find a town and sell it. In the last room, room twelve, they found the Boss Monster. They killed him too. The PCs did get wounded. Carl the cleric was having trouble casting his healing spells even though he was using his new Holy Pearl. So, they ate the magic potatoes they had found in the dungeon. They exited the cave and set up camp. They had another quiet evening.

Give this fun RPG a try!

My first game with this system was a zombie theme. It was really fun. All improv and we had a blast. Even when there was a zombie cat. I should not of had a zombie cat. Hahaha

An expansion for the main game that focuses on group story telling. Hell yes. Pretty cool. Especially as a last minute game or party game.

I was first introduced to this system when I was asked to TT a game for a friends podcast. Mostly because my friend wanted to play. I was very surprised at how easy yet fun this system is to use. It has enough mechanics to keep things fun for the dice rollers out there. It also has the freedom for the role players out there. I have been lucky enough to talk directly with the creator. And actually had him play in the game I hosted. The awesome thing is, he let me host my game and just played. No rules lawyering. He just had a good time. I have played a few games now useing this system. And the expansions make it even cooler. Trust me, if there is something about the game you don't understand or have an idea about. Brian welcomes it and addresses all peoples feedback.
