Simplicity

Welcome to Simplicity!

Simplicity is a FREE fantasy roleplaying game that allows you and your friends to create fictional adventures in a fantasy world. By design, the Simplicity system is easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to master. Everything you need to know about your character exists on a single simple sheet.

Simplicity uses a design and evolution system that allows you to develop your character as you see fit. By default, no races or classes exist in Simplicity. How you roleplay your character defines who they are more than the numbers on your character sheet.

Other game systems get bogged down in details that, more often than not, slow the action at your game table to a crawl. Simplicity plays quickly and smoothly, allowing you to focus on the story of your game and not the mechanics!

Still not convinced? Read some additional reasons why you should play Simplicity.
