9th Level Games has published a free Mazes Zero Prep Introduction to Fantasy Roleplaying PDF via DriveThruRPG.
Mazes uses the Polymorph system, which does away with any form of maths. Each Polymorph game player only uses a single polyhedral die: a d4, a d6, a d8, or a d10.
These dice represent different aspects of the character’s abilities, such as strength, dexterity, and intelligence. When players want to do something, they roll their die and consult their character sheet to see if they succeed.
The introduction to Mazes was published for Free RPG Day and made available to us online this month.
9th Level note;
MAZES quietly hit the indie TTRPG scene over two years ago during the first Kickstarter Zinequest event. Fans and RPG industry leaders saw the elegant simplicity of this game’s ruleset and nominated Mazes for an ENnie for Best Rules ENNIE and an IGDN Indie Groundbreaker Award for Best Rules. Mazes won the IGDN Indie Groundbreaker Award for Best Rules in 2020!
Now we’ve brought together years of development work on this brilliant underlying game system and its pulpy, dark fantasy world to bring players this definitive edition of the modern Fantasy Role Playing experience.
