Abkronos, my 3 page mini-rpg about travelling in time and space to cause mischief and maybe remake history (with terrifying consequences) is here! I made it over a weekend and it's probably really weird and unplayable, but have at it!
The game owes a huge debt (including terminology!) to an rpg from the late '90s called Continuum, which has always fascinated me, though I could never wrap my head around how to make it work at the table. Abkronos is my attempt at streamlining and distilling what I loved when first reading Continuum,, filtered through my own ideas and influences regarding time-travel fiction. I also used the brilliant John Harper's World of Dungeons as a basis.
If you and your group decide to throw together a session, ping me about it on twitter! Let me know what event your group tried to change, and just how badly your actions fucked up history.
