Xpress Core System (PDF)

Xpress Core System

Forty-four pages. A fistful of six-sided dice. Enough rules to get on with the bloody game.

Xpress is Postmortem Studios’ compact, generic roleplaying system, built for quick resolution without sacrificing character detail or meaningful degrees of success.

Your character’s natural abilities determine how many dice you roll. Training and expertise determine what those dice need to score. Better results produce more successes, allowing the same straightforward mechanic to handle routine actions, difficult challenges, opposed tests and combat.

Inside you’ll find:

• Flexible, point-based character creation.

• Attributes, skills, focuses, merits and flaws.

• A scalable d6 dice-pool mechanic.

• Rules for action, conflict, injury and character advancement.

• The tools needed to adapt Xpress to different genres and settings.

This is the system behind games including @ctiv8, ’45: Psychobilly Retropocalypse, Bloodsucker: The Angst, Chav: The Knifing and Wizkid: The Cheapening.

A small, adaptable rules engine for people who would rather spend the evening playing than consulting three different books to discover whether somebody successfully climbed a fence.
