Hello RPGsite, here's my latest game, inspired by the writings of H.P Lovecraft but it does not use HPL's Mythos (though it's pretty easy to run classic Call of Cthulhu-like adventures with it).

The game system is inspired by classics like Advanced Fighting Fantasy, Traveller and more recent titles like Maze Rats or Into the Odd.

Roll 2D6, add an attribute and get a result superior or equal to 8 to succeed.

By default, the game is set in the roaring 20's but an appendix allows you to create medieval characters. A Sci-fi setting is on the way as well (without aliens or haunted derelict ships, we promise!).

Why would I play RATS IN THE WALLS instead of CoC?

As much as I appreciate the simplicity of Call of Cthulhu's BRP system, I wanted something even simplier, without the burden of dozens and dozens of skills.
At the same time I didn't want to write a "one-shot only" game. These are a dime a dozen, especially in the horror genre. I wanted the characters to be able to evolve in long-term campaigns.
I wanted to help the GM to create his own investigations/horror adventures and to help him run these kind of games as well. So there's advice on that as well.

So go grab the game, it's pay what you want!

Thanks to all the people who threw some cash at the artfree version (and good reviews as well), I've been able to buy some art for the game:



The rules have been revised and cleaned up as well.

You can get the PDF on Drivethru, the POD will be made available on Lulu.

The artless version has been updated as well, it's still PWYW so no big risks if you want to try it !

The game is now available on Lulu.
