Editing Scratch

The Scratch Role-Playing System (Scratch RPS) is a simple set of RPG rules used in the [http://gameartsguild.com/squawk Squawk Role-Playing Game] and [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Ancient_And_Deadly Ancient & Deadly]. Scratch uses twenty-sided dice and traditional roll-and-add-bonus game mechanics. Stats for Scratch characters can be as simple as a few abilities and ability levels which are added to rolls when those abilities are used.
