HackÕD & SlashÕD is a lean, fast, flexible, old-school fantasy RPG with several modern flourishes. While a previous edition of this game was rooted in the OGL, this new edition uses an original game engine, and is released under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license, allowing you to take, modify, and expand the game as much as youÕd like. HackÕD & SlashÕD:
- Uses 1d12 exclusively with one-roll resolution.
- Has flexible character building, allowing you to mix and match traits and tags to create any character you can imagine.
- Employs an innovative magic system that allows you to easily track mana and make strategic decisions about how and when to use magic.
- Includes simple and flexible rules for creatures, allowing you to quickly generate foes on the fly, or to develop more nuanced and unusual monsters, as needed.
- Provides simple, consistent rules for checks and task resolution with concrete guidance to resolve all common game situations.
- This update expands the game to 48 pages, adds character options, simplifies and clarifies some mechanics, adds a complete bestiary, expands spellcasting options, and gives you more stuff to both hack and slash.
