But not d&d. Way too complicated. I want offline, pen and paper, thing for a group of friends, preferably dont have to be brown town about learning it TO learn it.
A link would be nice if it isnt buried in Google. I did search for this, but came up with computer games.
No computergames kthx

Dungeons and Dragons isn't even that hard to learn.

I looked at the wiki and couldn't find instructions, and I thought it had an online client for like, score tracking.

No such things exists.
You ARE talking about pen-and-paper DnD, right?

LEGALLY DOWNLOAD the pdfs (player's guide and dungeon master's guidebook).

I Honestly don't know what I'm talking about. That's why this topic exists

Is that even possible? Their sold online, so I'm assuming not

I read the wiki, through gameplay, and its simple enough if you aren't playing adnd.

Star Trek has D&D like books available.

Skip · February 04, 2011, 06:03:53 PM

I'm confused.

Lugnut · February 04, 2011, 07:29:01 PM

Bump so I don't have to later.

F# is a simple roleplaying system, doesn't use dice, but worth a skim.

MegaMek / Classic BattleTech
http://megamek.sourceforge.net/

It's a offline/online java based version of the Classic BattleTech tabletop RPG/wargame. Supports 2-4 players on the same client (IIRC). You can also print out maps and cutout models and play it IRL, so you could have all your friends play, so you could have like 8 different players, but that would be a clusterforget. There's a RPG version called MechWarrior which is more akin to D&D, but it isn't available for free.

You might want to check out a GURPS RPG, but I don't know how many are free.
