Thanks to @taithwales.bsky.social a week ago we were in the amazing slow village Grumes, in gorgeous Trentino, Italy with another #TTRPG #Youth Exchange.
Young people from Wales, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Lithuania spent a week developing expansions on Biosphere Guardians 2050! So much to share!

July's free RPG is the ludic antifascist DO IT YOURSELF.

Half the game is unwritten. How are you going to complete it? Will you follow my delicate inferences and guidance, or do something significantly more interesting?

Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/do-it-...

DO IT YOURSELF
Half of a tabletop roleplaying game by Grant Howitt
Based on the Havoc Engine
patreon.com/gshowitt for more free stuff

It is the near future. YOU are a FREEDOM FIGHTER. You and your comrades oppose the fascist regime and prepare to strike a decisive blow against them.

MISSING RULES
When you see “◀,” a rule is missing. When you need a rule, or when you decide to do so, the player whose character it would affect writes the rule and uses it immediately. Once a rule has been established, it lasts until the end of the session.

THE GAMESMASTER
The GM has the normal authority they wield in any other given RPG - they make up the scenario, set the pace and control the world outside of the player characters - but they must follow the rules as written if possible.

DANGER AND CONDITIONS
If you do something dangerous or an NPC acts against you, GM rolls 1-6 dice. Mark their successes as conditions. Clear conditions when you ◀.
If you cannot cannot mark any more conditions, ◀.

FERVOUR
When a fight kicks off, roll D6. The Result is your FERVOUR (⛛). Spend ⛛ to:
- Act before the enemy each round, or they go first
- Negate an NPC’s success spend against you
- Activate a ⛛ ability
- ◀
- ◀

Yeah it's nice but by default watch out for the death spiral of stat damage - some folk don't find it that fun.
But it's flexibility is well exemplified by all the games Free League have used it in.

I've also used a simplified Year Zero for my Dwellings and Dragons games.. which was a bunch of historical settings, but never really wrote down the rules properly..

Thanks! So, pdfs are always free with our projects, but if you really want a physical zine DM me and I can post one somewhere.
Any questions shoot!

A long time coming, but Mausritter now has an SRD! There’s a nice website where you can get the rules or download a markdown file, plus they’re now released under a CC-BY license so you’re free to use the rules text in your own projects mausritter.com/srd/

Game Rules | Mausritter

The Mausritter SRD is a complete, free, and open-source reference for the Mausritter, the sword-and-whiskers roleplaying game.

I do not want AI in art
I do not want in whole or part
I do not want it when I write
Creatively it’s really shite
I do not want it making pics
Of stolen work it has remixed
I do not want it in my mail
This really is beyond the pale
I do not want this endless spam
I hate it, hate it, Sam Altman

It's far less exciting that the title suggests - I thought we would get to date Marx!
