This is the game you pull out of your pocket in the pub and play it with a couple of post its and a d6 or just off your phone. Simple but effective rules in just a few pages and a setting included, it's minimalist gaming done right.

Currently playing in play-by-post over Discord. It's a lot of fun and the simple structure holds up well at the virtual, text based table.

Great stuff, 100% recommended.

Simple, elegant, looks great and most important; eminently usable.

It's basically the same player facing rules that everyone loved from 1st edition TBH, with a few minor tweaks. However once you get past the the player section (approx 30 pages) you find that the Black Hack now features added GM tools (in the form of tons of useful random tables) to help improve and flesh out your adventures either in advance or, crucially, at the table.

Also included: Bestiary, each entry has some cool art and some cool random tables (this might even be the best chapter.) Sample dungeons, 2 of them, fully fleshed out with maps and GM friendly layout.

Recommended without reservation.
