Do you know what game this is?

So I went through a phase of checking out free micro-rpgs and came across a lot of really cool ideas.

One in particular though stands out and for whatever reason I apparently didn't save it (thought I did, but can't find the file now) and can't find it again online.

I'm hoping someone might know it and help me track it down.

What I remember:

It's a fantasy rpg that's only 1-4 pages. The unique thing about it is that classes are made up of about 6 features/skills/spells. So like:

Rogue:
  • pick locks
  • move silently
  • sleight of hand

Fighter:
  • medium weapon proficiency
  • heavy weapon proficiency
  • double attack

Magic-user:
  • fireball spell
  • ice blast spell
  • countermagic

That's not exact or complete but hopefully enough to convey the idea.

Starting characters pick like 2 or 3 things, and each new level you can pick a new feature.

If any of that rings a bell, I'd really appreciate you sharing. I'm happy to check out any suggestions.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: the writing/tone of the game seemed slightly tongue-in-cheek (if that helps)

My own "In the World of the Witch Queen" and "Small But Vicious Hack" also kind of do this (characters choose career advancements that grant extra features as they gain levels). If you'd like gratis copies of both, message me a good email address for you and I'll hook you up with Itch download keys.

[Edit: The Rogue and Fighter advances particularly map to In the World of the Witch Queen.]

I’d love to check them out! Thank you!

There are a lot of ultralight games that do this.

Here’s a few:

I know :confused:
But I’ve searched my browser history and files and can’t find it anywhere. I’m just hoping I stumble on it again via other people’s suggestions. In the meantime I’m discovering even MORE awesome games, so thank you for your suggestions. :D
Maybe try on r/OSR. They might be able to help. At the very least you'll find a lot more recommendations.
