Emerald Oblivion is a tabletop role-playing game that can be played with up to 6 players not including The Universe (GM/DM). The intent was to make an easy to understand TTRPG that could be played in as little as an hour or as much as wanted.

"Printer" version is black on white only. The other version has a greyscale image as the background.

Hey!  This is a great one-pager and I dig the looseness and freedom you give to the players and GM alike.  Keeping that ethos in mind, I have a few suggestions for polish:

  • I would try to reduce extraneous explanations to the bare minimum so you can save as much space as possible for rule explanations. For example, I think the first two sentences of the Roles description can be simplified as "Each role comes with special knowledge and some gear."
  • I think the specific rule explanations are great (e.g. rolling and health) but it's a little vague in places, such as "negates electric damage" or "negates all chemical damage" - as a GM I'd be likely to ignore these if it's not referenced at all elsewhere, such as in the Consequence Ideas
  • Generally speaking, I think these rules would benefit from an additional one-pager that gives Scenario ideas.  Better yet if they provide character some character archetypes that players can base their own characters on!

I look forward to seeing more of this, especially some scenarios!
