About the game:

CREATE BETTER STORIES

Take d100 Roleplaying Back to its Core

Comae Engine charts a new path for the classic rules, retooled from the ground up for more creative and flexible storytelling. But keeping the grounded approach they are known for.
At the core is a versatile conflict resolution system. Combine mysteries, social conflicts, puzzles, stunts, combat – and most other challenges in modern storytelling. You can play almost any story, in any genre.

Comae Engine is a freestanding game, with close ties to M-SPACE, Odd Soot and Mythras. And if you are familiar with any classic d100 games, you will feel right at home.
Please note that Comae Engine is in a late beta. It is highly playable, but is still open for changes. If you have any suggestions, they are more than welcome. You can leave comments below.

Who is Comae Engine for?

  • You like d100 games but prefer quick and simple rules, without losing flexibility.
  • You want to create tense scenes without always resorting to violence. Social conflicts, chases, research and complex tasks play important parts in your scenarios.
  • You feel limited by traditional RPG’s focus on combat, but prefer rules you are accustomed to.
  • You enjoy d100 RPGs as they are, but sometimes need a barebones version to play with family and friends.
  • You play solo RPGs and need simple d100 mechanics to keep the story nimble.
  • You prefer simple rules, but want more complexity in key areas, like magic, superpowers or starship design.

If any of these sound like you, Comae Engine is worth checking out.
