What is Red Hack ? Red Hack is a concise¸ complete package that contains Player Rules¸ a GM Guide¸ a Bestiary of 24 classic foes¸ and a sample adventure. It is a d20 system that blends modern character customization options and OSR gameplay philosophies. Red Hack is...
Classless: As your character gains more experience through their adventures¸ they will become more skilled in the areas they choose to focus in. There are no set classes¸ just feats that shape your character.
A "Rulings¸ Not Rules" System: The rules provided are intended to get your group playing as fast as possible. The GM¸ working in cooperation with the players¸ fills the gaps. The final say on rulings goes to the GM. Red Hack is also designed to be easy to run with other system's adventures¸ using on-the-fly conversions
An RP G : 'Game' in 'Role-Playing Game' firmly stands its ground. May the dice gods smile on you when bad decisions have been made. Managing your character's resources well will give you the edge you need.
A Deadly Combat System: Health pools are small¸ weapons pack a punch¸ and magic is dangerous. Approach combat carefully. Characters will die¸ but that's part of the fun! Having a character survive to high levels is an achievement.
Isn't Great For Beginners: There is an assumption that at least one participant¸ preferably the GM¸ has experience with TTRPGs and ideally with a d20 system.
A Hack of Some Hacks: RedHack was inspired by "Five Torches Deep”¸ "Dungeon Crawl Classics”¸ "Savage Worlds”¸ and "The Black Hack”. They're all excellent and deserve a space on your shelf!
