Hic Sunt Dracones

Hic Sunt Dracones is an 8-page pocket-sized booklet with simplified 5E rules with an OSR feel. You are not a superhero and you might, if unlucky, die during round 1 brawl with but a drunken peasant. At the same time, you might just slay that ancient red dragon with one powerful swing (very unlikely). The game only uses a d20. Damage is rolled on "The Loser's Fate" table: is the round's loser "just humiliated"? Or, maybe, they have just been killed instantaneously (no death saves)! During one of my playtests, my reckless hero died in the very first room (after slaying 2 puny skeletons and feeling very confident). And, it felt just right. If you are overly precious about your character and wrote a 10-page backstory, avoid this game like the plague, feelings might get hurt - it's the old-school way!
