Sword&Sorcery PocketMod
A downloadable game
In the biting winds of frostbitten crags,
in the sweltering jungles and deltas of primeval creation,
in the balmy oases and shifting dunes of ancient kingdoms where old gods still reign,
here is found the cunning survivor, who would be crowned, bedecked in a cloak of leopard fur and gauntlets of bronze,
Here is found adventure.
Howardian sword and sorcery role-playing in a ridiculously tiny format. Print this PocketMod and try your hand at surviving by wit and grit in the untamed fantasy visions of pulp adventure! This tiny little PocketMod document uses both sides of a single sheet of paper to provide a simple, tiny, but strangely robust little game - you provide the pencil, d6, and d8, and you're set.
Included in this weirdly "stuffed-to-the-gills" tiny heavyweight are:
- a "complete" rules-lite system,
- eight example monsters for the GM to draw from,
- 48 example spells to inspire your spell-slinging,
- an extremely barebones basic solo play oracle,
- a combined 3484 pre-generated randomized dice rolls,
- 32 pre-generated example rooms divided by theme,
- 48 pre-generated room features divided by theme,
- and 24 pre-generated NPCs/names to help facilitate play.
I wasn't kidding, it's jam-packed in there!
For a truly portable experience, the document can be used with a diceroller app and a note-taking app for gaming on the go.
This is PWYW simply because if you give me any money I'm just gonna find a creator on here and pass it on to them - it's actually CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, so frankly I don't care if you download it for free and reshare it everywhere so long as you follow the terms of CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 and also you're not some kind of fascist.

this is amazing!!!
This was super neat to read (and assemble).
The tiniest of tiny comments on v1.0 (in case you care). I believe 3,4,6 would generate "Sight Beyond Sight" (which is a reference I appreciate). I believe you would need a roll of 3,4,7 to generate Spectral Hands.
Noted! Thanks ever so much for the close read - I'll update it to correct this shortly, though I may not be able to get to it before the weekend due to travel.
