A downloadable game

Morpho is a ttrpg core system based on two simple mechanics built to provide powerful tools to customize the gaming experience.

Rules light and powered with a  flexible resolution engine, I've been using and developing this system for the past 2+ years  in one shots and longer campaigns.

I've tested it using old Dungeon magazine modules, one page dungeons and, recently, I've been using it to run a cyberpunk campaign. 

This system allows the use TROIKA! backgrounds with little effort (use the advanced skill value without adding the base skill of characters and you are pretty much ready to go) 

At the core of the system lies the card roll.  With it the GM frames a situation and the PC's actions using a number of different cards. Players put together a pool of dice based on the number of cards used and skill points spent and assign dice to the cards thus determining the outcome of the situation.  

This is a living project: it is still being expanded and refined.


I'm making a solo rpg podcast to show the rules of the game. This too is a work in progress. You can find the episodes listed here (will add them as I record them):

EP.01- Character creation (?)

EP.02- A bit about objects (and adventure outline)

EP.03 - The Card Roll

EP.04 - Monsters and adversaries
