LITE-RPG is an ultra-light RPG system, aimed for quick one-shot games and short series of stories.

I've been GMing for years, and decades ago I wrote RPGs professionally (with a million words or so commissioned by Chaosium, Palladium, White Wolf, etc.) But however much I've fallen in love with one system or another at different times, I've always found it handy to have a super-lightweight set of rules available that I can use for quick, low-prep one-shots - for times when friends want me to run something, and all I have is an idea and a couple of lines scribbled on a piece of paper.

For others who might want to dive into running a game without getting bogged down in stat-blocks and mechanics and drawn out character generation, this is LITE-RPG.

Characters can be created in just a few minutes, without any stats or numbers.

The whole "system" is just four pages long, and the suggested Pay What You Want price is about the same as a cup of coffee.

Kadcidil, “The Eye of the Sun”, hangs above the scorched planet of Lubau, a busy transit port, drawing in new settlers and factions with conflicting agendas and many secrets. As the station grows, the PCs can influence its growth from its early start as a chaotic tangle of docks, to a thriving community.

But what sort of future will the station have? Will it become a crime infested victim of Syndicate abuses? A coldly calculating base for Consortium growth? Or a bastion of light against the Darkness under a tyrannical Samaritan?

And what of the secret hidden beneath its floors, of the ancient burning warship waiting to be summoned from the Rimward Reach, and the sleeping efrite on the planet below? When these ancient powers rise, the PCs might forge the destiny of more than a single station.

--

The Eye of the Sun includes:
* Details of the station of Kadcidil, and its major NPCs.
* Seven campaign arcs, focusing on the development of the station from rambling docks to a functioning community. Pick the arcs that reflect your PCs’ interests.
* Six story seeds for stand-alone adventures starting on the station.
* A single epic campaign arc which might determine the future of the planet below, or perhaps the whole Kua system.

(42 character portraits are available as a separate free download. URL in the PDF.)

You know, that 100+ page Coriolis campaign with all the ethical dilemmas and multiple paths for the players...." ... "Err... maybe we haven't, yet....?" .... "Oh ****!"
