Kingdom of Nothing
An urban fantasy RPG about homeless people¸ the Lost¸ who have suffered an unknown trauma and begun to forget even who they are and where they come from. As they are ignored¸ they slip through the cracks of their world into a mysterious realm filled with nightmarish secrets. Character creation is point based¸ with players assigning the two attributes (Lucidity and Survival)¸ free-form skills¸ an Echo (an object that guides the character) and Burden (what is holding them back). Resolution is based on coin flips¸ where the player flips a mix of coins from a cup¸ and each head gives successes. Pennies are from attributes and earn 1 success; nickels are from skills and earn 2 successes; a dime comes from the Echo and earns 3 successes; a quarter comes from the Burden and earns 4 successes. The player can lose coins that are bet¸ but keeps successes. Further¸ a player can ask for coins from other players that are also risked. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
