SAVE
A downloadable game
SAVE is a rules-light, stakes-heavy roleplaying framework for high-trust tables. Inspired especially by Spelunk! and OZR, SAVE features:
- Simple push-you-luck d6 resolution, where you really don't wanna roll 1 ...
- Characters created around Saves, character features that might save them from failure
- Guidelines for setting high stakes and pacing dangers
- GM tips for running SAVE in a most stakes high fashion
- Examples of Saves, stakes and dangers
And it all fits on a double-sided postcard.

LOVE this resolution mechanic, I adapted it for Space Aces: Wreck Runners which has a box set funding on Kickstarter in February. Thanks so much for thinking it up, and I'm jealous of just how much "game" you managed to get into this one little mechanic. I put you in the credits! :D
wow, this made my day! Looking forward to following along. Just checked out the original Wreck Runners, which looks fantastic. Best of luck with the Kickstarter. I’ll be sure to share it here as well.
Cool idea! I think this would be great for a solo game. I'm glad this is under CC, because I might have to steal these rules.
Thanks! Sincerely happy to hear this! Feel free to use it as you like, and do share it. Turning it towards a solo game is a great idea.
