Solo/Small Group Game
In reply to pnvq12 (msg # 1):
I'd run a solo/small group through a game called REIGN. It isn't rules light, but not that hard to deal with. It runs on the ORE engine and you can make a character by rolling just 11d10 and poof you're off and running.
You roll to hit and damage all at once, combats are shortish in general, as you either die, win or are injured and can't manage to continue. So if you're smart, you fight only when it is the last or only option.
I love the system and don't like the setting, so I don't use the setting. But for the purpose of a small or solo group it isn't a world-view game, but a personal one of just trying to live.
Reign has a little primer version that's easy to find and I want to say about 120 pages?
