I made this for the 2026 One-Page RPG JAM - it is a TTRPG kit/system that is based upon my favorite hacks for PBtA, RISUS, Goblin City, and a few other amazing RPGs. No Stats. No Hit Points. No Death. Just Complications, Conditions, and a very chaotic DICE RESOLUTION system. It currently doesn’t have archetypes or playbooks - but those should be pretty easy to add-on.

I’ve given it an easy license for personal or commercial use as a gift to our TTRPG hacker/designer community.

I’m going to try making a few settings/adventures for it. I hope you will too… you can try on this new RPG Adventure JAM…

Adventures for One-Page RPGs

For the 2026 One-Page RPG JAM - I made a TTRPG kit/system that is based upon my favorite hacks for PBtA, RISUS, Goblin City, and a few other amazing RPGs. No Stats. No Hit Points. No Death.

Atomic Pickle Sauce - the Hackable TTRPG system

Very clever - well done.

Now I want to play this - brilliant.

These all look wonderful. Fun little characters to play on any game table. I wanted to enter, but things have been pretty busy for a while.

Looks like spooky fun!

I found it through ArneCon, www.tfott.com, and their Secrets of Blackmoor documentary. I believe that any non-TSR version of Blackmoor might also have examples of the various stats that Arneson used. I have had the pleasure of playing with some of Dave’s original players as well.

A gimmick that I picked up from researching old Arneson games, history, and visiting ArneCon is that he used GUTS instead of Hit Points. I now use it in MANY of my TTRPG designs as well. Occasionally, I find it in other designer’s games as well.

I’m quite happy with the results… and stepped up my art and graphics bar dramatically. Tulsa is a new favorite character of mine.

Thanks - it feels crowed to me - but it ticks all the check boxes.

😎 There are SO MANY Easter Eggs and obscure trivia hiding is this work. It was a pleasure digging through all my old pop-culture trivia to make this.

Wow - first one that I printed and put in my horded treasure. 😍

One of my favorites - feels like something I’d find in a ziplock bag in the forgotten section of my local game store.

Loving this style, layout, and amazing artwork. Printing this and putting it with the rest of my horded treasure. 😍

I agree, I learned a LOT about this layout, it was my first time trying the A6 and this double-fold greeting card layout. Like how best to convey this particular scenario to others in such tiny pages. Still, with only hours left… I really needed to post something for all this research, artwork, design, and layout. I’m happy with the results but will likely make a V2. I’m sure that I would use at least 2 pages for the Adventure section. Turn it into a half-page RPGzine and make the map a fold-out (like the map for Gruesome Ghoulies™). Thanks for reading it!

This is awesome!

Awesome! You beat me to it - OK, now I’ve gotta change my name and theme a bit. Nice rules.

Loving this!!! 🤘

Loving this - very creative.

Thanks - I’m doing more now 😊

Vast Grimm is a very gonzo RPG and I’ve always liked scoundrels. I was inspired to make a MacGuffin that seemed like a reward, but was likely a curse. I believe the Furrbil qualifies.

Very 1980’s vibe to this. Great work.

Rushing to get this done before the deadline. I’m very happy with the game. I hope you all like it too.

I call it a Grimdork RPG - darkly farcical and superfast to play. It uses a single axial-stat for all resolution rolls - like other popular single-stat RPGs.

I’m looking forward to your feedback… if enough people like this I will make a larger version.

It is a good game - thanks for the bibliography - terrific inspirations.

Thanks - making progress on the new rules and the world map. I hope to have it out soon.

I want to thank you for your interest in the Gruesome Ghoulies™ RPG.

For the month of October 2020, I'm running a Kickstarter for a 64+ page version with more gameplay, adventures, and spooky artwork. Please consider backing it at...
