OOZEBORN
A downloadable game
The world is a radical place...
But when ninjas and space invaders, monsters and killer robots come looking for trouble, help won't come from up in the sky.
It comes from the sewers below!
In OOZEBORN, you're a mutant, a heroic hybrid of animal and human. It's up to you to put your freaky powers, badass skills and gnarly weapons to the test to triumph over the forces of evil.
OOZEBORN is a single pamphlet, front and back to be printed and tri-folded. All you need to play is a copy per player (which functions as both a rule guide and character sheet), a pencil and a 6-sided die. Adventures can be run using the premade "Episode Guides", adapted from your an episode of a favorite Saturday morning cartoon or conceived entirely by the GM!
This project (my first game!) is a loving tribute to not only a certain quartet of beloved shelled shinobi, but the entire genre of misfit knock-offs they inspired over the years.
Free supplemental material including quick-start adventure guides, equipment tables and additional character options coming soon!

Kent, this is totally rad! It has excellent flavor. I like how you pick your animal type and then your tag (similar to class in other games). It makes character generation quick and flavorful. With five animal types and 13 tags that makes 65 different character options! That's a lot for a one-page game.
I'm thrilled you like Oozeborn and I really appreciate the appreciation of the amount combos you can make! That number's only going to go up!
Very cool Kent. Thanks for uploading the adventure. Just read through it and cant wait to take to the table as a fun little game before the main games later in the day.
Thanks man! That sounds like a great idea, using something fast and fun like this as an appetizer to full day of gaming. Hope you have a blast.
I have no monies but I love this!!
No problem bud, it's free as hell. Help yourself.
<3 already downloaded!!
This is so cool! I love how simple and stylish it is. I might run it for a one-shot sometime!
Thanks so much, that's awesome to hear! Let me know if you do!
