What is RETRO/KILL? 

R/K is a rules-light TTRPG about time travel, assassins, and the biggest bastards in human history. In R/K you play a Retrokiller, a post-human agent of the transtemporal Union of Concerned Assassins. You are an elite team with one mission: Travel to the past and eliminate your target before they destroy the future.

Why should you play RETRO/KILL? 

  • Rules light. All you need to play is the first ten pages of the book and a standard set of tabletop dice and as the GM, you never need to roll (unless you want to). It is fun, fast-paced, and you never need to hunt through the rulebook.
  • Easy to learn, fun to master. You only have three stats. To act, roll a d20. If you roll under your stat number, you succeed. It can get a little more complicated than that but when in doubt, roll a d20.
  • Easy to prep and to play. Playtesters have said that you can prepare multiple sessions in 20 minutes or less and creating a fully playable character takes about five minutes. No complicated character sheets and barely any math.
  • Cool mechanics! I am really proud of R/K's inventory system. Each item has a die associated with it and each item takes up a number of inventory spaces equal to the associated die. For example, if a knife allows a player to subtract a d4 from their roll, it also takes up four spaces in their character’s inventory. Players can use their time-travel powers to plant items they need in the environment making for fast-paced and fun strategic gameplay.
  • You get to assassinate some truly evil people. You will never experience a catharsis as sweet as blowing Ronald Reagan out of an airlock while playing a cybernetic punk from the 26th century.
