ARNESON GAMING
A downloadable game
Made with a nod of acknowledgement to one of the founding fathers of our hobby, Arneson Gaming is probably not as cool or refined as what Dave played, but you may still enjoy it. A few rules to get your game moving, but not enough to restrict your creativity and imagination, just like Dave might have wanted it.
Contains a single PDF with minimal rules but enough of a framework to get the juices flowing and help your table have a fun time.

What font did you use for this? Would you be okay if I made a Portuguese translation?
Font is Anton.
Feel free to translate, I would ask that you either include a link back to this page, or, if you post it here on itch, let me know so I link to it.
If you want I can just send it to you and you can put on this page alongside the english one. But I can post it on my Itch and link it back no problem at all.
That will work, and probably easier for everyone to find. Please send to snikle 1973 at that google mail place (no spaces) and I’ll post and credit you, thanks!
I think I sent it, of it didn't work tell me somewhere else I can send maybe. Thanks for making this game!
Hi. This is great. I picked this up a while back and got linked here again a full year later. Now I leave a comment. What a gem of a game. You rock.
Awesome! I appreciate the comment and am glad you are enjoying the game.
Hi Matt, I’ve translated it in Italian. How do I send you the file? I also have the translation of so1um 0.6, if you want to publish it
Thank you! You can send to snikle 1973 through gmail will work (just remove the spaces), I will at the the product page if you are ok with that.
That’s totally fine. I’ll send them asap
Did you send the Italian translation?
Hi Matt, actually long time ago, last August!
I’ve just resent all the files, try to check also the spam box
A masterpiece of sobriety and efficiency. The best in the FKR category.
Two pages of rules to play as if you were in the 70s with Dave Arneson and his friends.
Thank you so much Matt Jackson, you're my hero !
I only added a "house rule" to your jewel for more roleplay: I keep 4 Hit Points but I name them ( Stunned/Wounded/Disabled/Dead )
Thank you! I’m very pleased you like it, and I love your HP hack!
Nice simple rules for good FKing gaming. Good job!
Thank you!

itsit's 1972Sheesh, everyone's a critic. ;-)
Thanks! Fixed.
Is there supposed to be a PDF?
Thanks!
Age is getting to me, swore I uploaded and checked it! It’s on there now.
No, you did good - in 1972 there were no PDFs xD
LoL Good point! It is like magic!
