Day 21 of #RPGaDay asks: Which RPG does the most with the least words?
A: To my mind, nothing is as straightforward and yet still evocative as Casey Garske's Stay Frosty. He (purposely) skips a lot of the usual stuff (e.g. What is an RPG? Here's how you use dice...) and wastes no time getting to the GOOD stuff, like FUBAR and SNAFU tables for your space marines. It takes a bare-bones set of rules, makes a few tweaks, and sprinkles in a robust amount of imagination, using a superb economy of words. Stay Frosty exemplifies exactly what the OSR is all about: Hack the rules & imagine the hell out of it!
Now, if I could only get the chance to PLAY it! #hinthint Casey G.
Honorable Mention: c.r. brandon's awesome Far Trek is an amazing little RPG. Really an excellent translation of the original and animated series into a streamlined-yet-rollicking Federation experience.
