MAKE GAMES WITH THE RAT SYSTEM

The Rat System is a simple d6 narrative-focused dice pool mechanic originally developed for HyperMall: Unlimited Violence (which you should check out if you haven't already).

The Rat System is highly flexible and easy to use. 

Stat + Skill forms your Dice Pool. 5-6 on a d6 is a Success; 2+ Successes and you get what you want. 1 Success and you get some of what you want, with a caveat, complication, or cost. No Successes and you suffer the consequences of failure. Crits on 6,6,6.

You deal xd6 damage on attacks, where X is the number Successes on your previous roll. This allows for highly lethal combat (if that's what you want).

This game jam is designed to encourage people to Make Games with The Rat System. 

GO NUTS.
