These rules look great! Thinking of using them to play 1920s Lovecraftian horror. The character's occupation grants Advantage to one or two job-related skills. Seeing sanity-blasting sights requires an Int roll over 12, or the HD challenge rating of the Lovecraftian monster. If failed, the character takes 'mental damage' off their hit points. Not adding any rules, just interpreting Sanity loss as hit point damage as one's mind is shredded by alien visages, vistas, and concepts.
Sounds great, mate. I have been working on something similar although with more pulpy Robert E Howard/Brendan Fraser Mummy style fear rules. The other main rules additions are autofire weapons for things like Tommy Guns and a Hard to Kill rule for Eldritch Horrors. Basically roll damage as normal– if the result is 6+ you do 2 points of damage, otherwise you do 1. It works surprisingly well, particularly if you don’t tell the players about it.
Hi Bill, if you are looking for additional play-testers, I would enjoy participating. But if you are full up, totally understand that too. Either way, looking forward to this game - sounds wonderful! Cheers!
Hi, my name is Katya, I am a beginner programmer and game designer and I came across One Sheet Rules. I love RPGs and was impressed that you fit the rules on one sheet. I have translated it into Russian and if you want I can send it to you. I just thought, suddenly it will help someone who does not know English.

Release of the translation of William King's One Sheet Rules.
In addition, there is a character sheet. In English too.

Bill, that sounds fantastic! I'd love to see your Robert E Howard/Brendan Fraser Mummy style pulp rule set! Will it be posted soon online?
I have the rules written complete with monsters. I would like to do some more playtesting before I unleash them on the world.

Would be happy to have you play-test it. Drop me a line at zine (at) onesheetrules (dot) com and I’ll send you a copy.

Thank you, Katya. I don’t have the skills (or the fonts) to do a Russian layout on one page but I could certainly add the text file.

Looks great. I would like to include you in the credits for this. Is that OK?
Sure!
Great! Thanks!
