Scratch

The Scratch Role-Playing System (Scratch RPS) is a simple set of RPG rules used in the Squawk Role-Playing Game and 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.
