publisher blurb:
Bare bones role playing that'll show 'em what's for!
Chutzpah! is the bare-bones role playing game with a certain je ne sais quoi! It's a firmly tongue-in-cheek game that nevertheless can handle any kind of game you wish to run, no matter how serious. From one-shot over-the-top lunacy to long-term deadly-serious campaigns, this game has the gumption to make it happen. With stats like Cut of My Jib, Childlike Wonder and yes, a Certain Je ne Sais Quoi, you'll be able to take your character building to the next level and give 'em what's for!
This RPG is not Powered by O.R.C.S.™ Rather, it uses a simple stat and skill die pool system (the Chutzpah! System™) using d8s. Why d8s? I just decided on d8s. There's literally no other reason. You'll throw your dice and count Fist Bumps to succeed at tasks. Included in this simple, 44-page book is everything you need to play a game, including:
Complete character generation
Rules for combat, skills, vehicles, magic, psionics and more
Rules for building weapons, vehicles, equipment and monsters
Rules for fear, terror, horror, and madness
Benefits and Bugs to customize your character and give them that little something extra
Plenty of snark, self-deprecation, and insults
And more!
Why are you still bothering with complex rules systems that require twenty years to read and learn? Grab your copy of Chutzpah! A Certain Je ne Sais Quoi today and you'll never look back!
Note: the game takes a distinctly lighthearted, humorous, self-effacing, and tongue-in-cheek approach to make for an enjoyable, fun read. Still, it's designed as a fully playable game, capable of handling just about any style or kind of play you like.
