The worst part of the Bookmark No HP RPG is... that it is so short you can't really explain anything about how it works without giving the whole rules system away (and this leads to a Fight Club-like situation: "The first rule about Bookmark No HP RPG Club is you don't talk about the Bookmark No HP RPG rules.”) Anyway, Lester Smith has managed --much like he did with D6xD6-- to create a deceptively simple system with hidden depths, built upon a robust dice mechanic and, most of all, fun and suspenseful and which you could probably play anywhere with the help of a smartphone dice roller. Highly recommened if you want to give an innovative minimalist rpg a try. That said, I am going to bend the rules of the Bookmark No HP RPG Club a little bit and present a sample character:
Nina Rodrigues
Vocation: Postapocalyptic taxi driver and part-time vigilante
Attributes: Brawn d8, Grace d6 Will d10 Wits d4
How do you roll these Attributes? What do you use your Vocation for? I am afraid that would be telling too much ;-)
