Looking For an RPG That is Fun to Read and Fun to Play

Well, the future Mrs. Tenkar is grounded for at least the next two weeks.  Which means I need to find an RPG that is entertaining to read, easy to comprehend and works well in a small group (or even one on one).

Sure, I put her thru a Tunnels & Trolls solo last year (I ran it like a one on one type adventure) and she had fun, but didn't have a grasp of the rules.  I figure now is a perfect time to find an RPG that she can check out in her abundant free time.  PDF format is a bonus, as she enjoys using her iPad to read.

Open for suggestions.

Heck, I might even own some of the ones you might suggest.

  1. I can offer Neoclassical Geek Revival as a suggestion, it works well in smaller groups and its full of smirk worthy humour (which I can't help but throw in my writing). Mainly I can offer it to your for free as a PDF.

  3. I'd recommend BEAN! The D2 RPG from Fabled Worlds. Short and simple rules but lots of fun to play. Plus you can get a pdf of the rules for only $3 from RPGnow.

  4. Bean! rocks!

    I gave away a bunch of copies earlier this year. Hmm, that is a possibility. Certainly is short ;)

  5. Old School Hack! Not sure how well it would run as a one on one however. It certain is a blast to play though.

  6. Ist edition Pendragon is packed away somewhere. My girl might dig it - I didn't. Didn't do anything for me.

    Old School Hack might work. Its short and free ;)
