Folklore: A Rules-Light Roleplaying Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Folklore is a complete rules-light generic roleplaying game designed to be playable after about ten minutes of reading, with enough structure to keep your adventures running smoothly. If you and your friends want to slay dragons and save princesses with little to no prep-time, Folklore just may be the game for you.

This game has been trimmed down to the point that the entire rules set fits into a nice 4 page pamphlet. The pamphlet is merely a double sided 8.5 x 11 piece of paper folded in half.

Folklore’s system uses standard six-sided dice in play, requiring players a certain amount of successes on their dice to overcome conflict. A die is considered to have rolled a success if it produces the numbers 4, 5, or 6. The system has been built around this dice mechanic and since the math never strays away from addition or subtraction, even kids should be able to play with relative ease.

This is a very appealing rules-lite RPG, that could be used for any conceivable setting. I like the dice pool mechanic, which combines attributes, traits, items, relationships and goals. There's also a nifty little "push your luck" mecha [...]

One of the best dollars I have spent was on this game. I picked it up and threw together a Fallout themed one shot adventure. Everyone had fun, though it took them some time (about 15 minutes) to adjust to the rules-lite-ness of it. I heard a lot of &q [...]

This is a great little RPG system. I like to keep things simple and Folklore sure meets that requirement. Character creation, skill checks, combat, etc., - it is all here on a couple of pages. If you like to use your imagination and come up with your [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
