Barrow of the Cheese Gnomes
A downloadable game
You’re a cheese gnome. You live for cheese. Your people age their cheese in a spooky old long barrow on Yonder Hill, it makes the cheese good and stinky. Recently a nasty wight started haunting the barrow and now everyone is too scared to go there. Well not you. You’ll go there, rescue the cheese and be the hero of the clan.
I would describe this as a minimalist two stat dice pool OSR parody. It features a self-contained rules system that borrows liberally from some of my favourite ttrpg's and an introductory adventure in a minimal page count.
Inspired by the straight forward layout of White Box FMAG by Charlie Mason, the two stat systems of Lasers & Feelings by John Harper and Kosmosaurs by Diogo Nogueira, the shear gonzo craziness of Havoc Brigade & Goblin Punks by Grant Howitt, with a pinch Isle of Ixx by Skull Fungus thrown in for good measure.
