Coarse Light System - A Microgame
I've been tinkering with something along these lines for awhile now, trying to put together a light universal RPG mechanic along the lines of get something like Seth Zaloudek's Folklore , but without dice pools, or borrowing from Michael Wolf's Warrior, Rogue & Mage , but more generic. So when I noticed Kyrinn (of Urutsk fame) participating in David Schirduan's 200 Word RPG Challenge , it seemed the perfect time to give it a serious try. The resulting Coarse Light System was cranked out in only a couple hours, though fiddling with the word count and formatting took a bit longer. You can find the game here: Coarse Light System It could probably use a couple supplements to clarify some missing details and provide settings. But if this is your thing, hope you have fun with it.
