Easy RPG

A versatile, modern TTRPG with rich mechanics for all genres and characters.

I was the creator and designer of Easy RPG (ERPG), a lightweight and flexible tabletop role-playing system inspired by classic RPGs. I designed the core mechanics, character creation rules, and gameplay structure, ensuring a balance between simplicity and depth. ERPG was built to be an accessible yet customizable system, allowing players to integrate elements from other RPGs or create entirely unique adventures without being constrained by complex rulebooks.

I originally developed Easy RPG (ERPG), in 2019 as a simple dice-based system with no character sheets, later expanding it into a fully structured game played by many friends and used in multiple campaigns.

The game was created to solve a common problem in tabletop role-playing games: accessibility. Many RPG systems require purchasing multiple expensive books and reading through hundreds of pages of complex rules before players can even start their adventure.

My goal with ERPG was to strip away these barriers, providing a simple yet flexible framework where imagination takes the lead. With just a base set of guidelines, players can create and explore any story, character, or world without feeling restricted by dense rulebooks.

The ERPG Guide Book was written and formatted using Google Docs, though the images within the book are placeholders and not created by me directly. Figma was used to design printable character sheet layouts and game components, such as turn action tokens, making it easier for players to jump into the game with minimal preparation.

I am actively seeking a publisher to help Easy RPG (ERPG) reach a broader audience worldwide, bringing its accessible and creative approach to more role-playing tables.
