Foreword It’s unprofessional unprofessiona l to say S I M P L E 1 0 started as a joke, but it’s the honest truth. A bunch of anonymous users on the internet started cracking jokes about cartoon characters inhabiting the roles of our favorite fantasy tabletop adventure archetypes, from the well-meaning but dunderheaded paladin to the mischievous but unexpectedly noble bard. Ten we got the idea we
could actually play this out ourselves like a real tabletop RPG, and we were faced with a mighty problem: how do we play on an anonymous anonymou s imageboard with a bare minimum of features? In the years since, sinc e, S I M P L E 1 0 R P G is the answer we worked together to create. You never need more than one die, and the rules are short, eas y to understand and... well, simple. It’s great for veterans like us who just wanted to cut loose, and it let our new friends jump into the action with us. At the heart of it, a tabletop RPG is about the party; not just the dramatic gures in our minds,
but the people we share that fanta sy with. So if you expected to see the classical elves, dwarves, and orcs, but turn these pages to nd strange
and unfamiliar faces greeting you, don’t fret. In S10, you’re not expected to follow an exacting canon or microscopic rules. What makes these characters come alive is the magic you bring to the table. And without the magic of friendship, none of this would have happened. Tis book, this project, the
artwork and the world we created for it; it’s all an adventure in itself, made possible by my friends. And I hope you, dear reader, have a few of your own. MoronSonOfBoron MoronSonOf Boron (MSOB) (MSOB)

Ring A single 10-sided 10 -sided die (d10) is used to resolve the success of all actions,from actions, from negotiating a conversation to landing a blow in combat. If you intend to play on a reasonably fast- paced chan-style chan -style imageboard that doesn’t have a dice function, you can use the last digit of your post number to simulate dice rolls. If you use post numbers, treat 0 as 10.

You can adjust it to your liking using the O P T I O N A L R U L E S provided in the next section, or modify them as you like to t your campaign and players’ needs.

Chrcter Cretin Step 1: Crete Cncept
Think Thin k about what character you’d like to play. What
would he or she look like? What kind of peculiar quirks would he have? What are his beliefs? You can use the races and the class archetypes to help you with an idea. Fill in the name, gender and traits on your sheet.
Step 2: Chse yr Rce
The rst step to creating a character is usually
choosing their race. The races you can use depend on your game and it’s setting, Simple10 can work with just about any races imaginable. Below are some example races, and tools to making your own ones. You can choose any race and class combination. Every race has a racial skill.
Hmns Humans are a widespread race characterized by their love of building cities, dealing with politics and perhaps above all, waging war. Often even among themselves. Though their ways a re odd to many other races, none can deny that humans rule large parts of the world thanks to their technological achievements and high numbers. Some groups of other races have even adopted a more humanlike lifestyle in an eort to benet from living a mong humans in their kingdoms.

aens Aeons or Aether Elementals, are sentient magic elementals that hunger for knowledge as much as most races hunger for food. Having no true bodies of their own, save for ickering concentration of magic, they build bodies for themselves out of clothing and armor to give themselves shape. This body is held together with their natural telekinesis.
M A G I C B O D Y Passive; an Aeon’s body counts as a catalyst for spellcasting.
T E L E K I N E S I S Spell; manipulate objects through sheer force of will. Complex tasks and heavier objects may require more focus.
Tis could also represent other highly magical
or telekinetic beings like elementals or psions.

Cpr Energetic and nomadic, the goatlike Capra travel the world in search of adventure for the sake of it, and rarely settle down. They are nimble and quick, with appetites that belie their small stature. However a Capra can digest nearly anything, allowing them to survive easily even on long travels.
CAPRACRAFT
Passive; Min 1 for all
climbing and agility rolls, and can use anything as food, including nonfood items. Tis could also represent other agile races, like elves
or catfolk.

Drkin A proud oshot race of the mighty Dragons, Draki n resemble winged humanoids with scaly hides and powerful muscles.
Drakin see themselves as equals, or at least close relatives to Dragons, even if this view is rarely mutual. However this draconic heritage has left them with a deep sense of easily bruised pride, which can easily make them volatile.
F L I G H T The wings of a Drakin allow them to y up and across terrain, but maintaining such a body in ight can ti re out even the strongest Drakin before long. Tis could also represent other ying races, like harpies
or demons.

Drdge Seen as a young race by some, Drudges are intelligent, cunning beasts with a culture born of pack mentality and natura l shamanism.
Their incredibly sharp senses make them masters of their surroundings and excellent hunters, uncontested apex predators of less civilized lands.

like goblins or beastmen.

Hrks Horks are the great children of the world's highest peaks. Towering above even the tallest members of other races, Horks are as hardy as they are immense. Their skin is rough, even rocklike at times, and their powerful arms make climbing easy.Some compare Horks to boulders while seemingly unmoving and uncaring, they will swiftly crush all before them if pushed too hard. Many young Horks have moved down from the ancestral mountains to embrace a human lifestyle over the traditions of older Horks.

In exchange, Mymids often oer services as mercenaries and protectors, as an adult Myrmid is most at home on the eld of battle.

Zhivur Enigmatic beings from the far reaches of the world, Zhivur often appear entirely alien in mind and form to others. Slender, tall and faceless, the easiest way to tell two Zhivur apart are their body markings. Some theorize Zhivur may be related to fungi, but this may simply be born from the texture of their esh. Others say they are creatures twisted by millenia of demonic corruption, or that the came from space. However, none can conrm their suspicions as Zhivur rarely speak of the topic, and their minds are impossible to touch.

Players and GMs should feel free to also create their own races when needed or desired. Using the rules above as a starting point, the following template can be used to easily add more races to your games. Remember to ask your GM before bringing a custom race to a game.

A character’s class is the archetype for
their abilities and role in a world of high adventure. Characters start with six (6) Skill Points to spend on class skills. When using most skills, you must roll a dice to determine the result. Spellcaster classes begin play with a catalyst of some kind to channel their spells, such as a holy symbol, fetish, wand, or power crystal. A magical being’s body can count as a catalyst. At any point you would level up, you may refund a skill, unlearning it and gaining the skill points back to spend on something else. You get back all points spent into the skill: if bought any recharge mastery, or unorthodox for the skill, those points also are refunded.
Reding Ski Entries Skills are constructed in the following format: N A M E , T A G S , D E S C R I P T I O N . Skills have a name that identies them, tags for a shorthand understanding of common mechanics concerning their usage, and a description giving the purpose and appropriate usage for the skill.
Tgs A U T O M A T I C No roll is needed when you take this action; the skill works whenever you
activate it as though you had rolled MIN. This skill still takes up an action during your turn. I N S T A N T This skill requires an insta nt action to be used during your turn. This skill
still requires a roll. O N C E P E R This skill can be used once per given time period (a combat encounter, an
in-game day, or even once per game session). Skills that are listed as once per combat may be used outside of combat, recharging at GM’s discretion. P A S S I V E No action or roll is needed, this skill is always in eect. R A N G E D This skill can also target distant creatures and locations that might otherwise
be unreachable. R E C H A R G E # You must wait # combat turns after successfully activating this skill
before you can attempt to activate it again. A failed roll incurs a 1 turn recharge. Skills listed with recharge may be used outside of combat, recharging at GM’s discretion. R E Q U I R E S This skill requires some condition to be met, such as wielding a specic
weapon type. S P E L L This is a magic spell, and may be subject to special rules for spellcasting, such as
requiring a catalyst. W E A P O N This skill can use your weapon’s properties, such as roll modiers and the
ranged tag.

9+, etc.
Step 5: Eqipment
The right equipment can be the dierence between success and
failure, life and death. Before you send your character out into the world, make sure to select weapons and other tools to give them the extra edge they’ll need. At creation, a starting character usually possess a few items and a weapon of a single type, and a catalyst if they are a spellcaster. Highly valuable items such as multi-type weapons, unique items, and other exotic or powerful tools are subject to GM approval.
Specsting Ctyst As described above, spellcaster classes such as the Mage and Shaman require a catalyst to help them channel their magical power into specic forms and eects. Without a catalyst, a character cannot cast skills with the spell tag. Spellcasters may choose a catalyst when rst created. Catalysts are not Weapons, but need to be switched in the same way one changes weapons to be used. A catalyst can be just about any kind of item, from a religious symbol to an item of great sentiment, or even a weapon or piece of armor, typically inscribed with magical runes and symbols. You must be touching your catalyst and have it visible and exposed to the target(s) for spellcasting to work.
Items nd Ts No adventurer would go on a quest without things like food rations, rope, camping supplies, personal items, and crafting tools. Choose a few items that are appropriate to your character’s interests and the dangers they expect to see. Use common sense when choosing items, and don’t try to cheat by carrying powerful items or too much stu. The GM may set limits or requirements on the type and amount of items you can carry.

Cmbt Big adventure comes with tons of fun, often in the form of violent encounters with hostile NPCs. Combat is typically resolved through determining initiative, attacks and counterattacks, rendering opponents helpless, and ultimately killing your enemies.

Deing Dmge The very nature of s10 binds the act of dealing and receiving damage into a single action, depending on the die roll. So to mirror the counterattack damage, successful rolls are suggested as follows for opponents of an equal Skill Tier.
R O L L 6 1 Hit. R O L L 7 2 Hits. R O L L 8 3 Hits. R O L L 9 4 Hits. R O L L 1 0 Crits of any kind: 5 Hits.

A standard Enemy has 5 Hits / 5 Wounds. Rendering them Helpless removes 1 Wound. In case you are playing with the Supercrit rule, instead, rendering them Helpless with overkill removes 2 Wounds. Ex. Rolling a 12 or 13 renders a standard enemy Helpless and takes them down to 3 Wounds. Attacking a Helpless enemy successfully removes 1 Wound. A crit on a Helpless enemy removes 2 Wounds.

leeing up In a long-running game, Skill Tiers can be used as a Leveling Up system. After enough of a feat (a big boss ght, an important story moment, etc.), each player can gain a Skill Tier. A basic adventurer should start at Beginner tier, with 6 SP and a Talent but no other Skill Tier bonuses. Adventurers starting below Beginner only get 4 SP and no Skill Tier bonuses until Beginner. Adventurers starting above Beginner get the appropriate amount of Skill Tier bonuses, as below. For each Skill Tier gained, the character gains 2 additional skill points to spend on whatever they like. Additionally, they may perform skill swaps (detailed under C L A S S L E S S S K I L L S ).
