What is GORETM
GORETM uses Open Game Content and newly presents algorithms from 80s role-playing games to produce a generic role-playing system in the tradition of old-school
percentile-based games. GORETM follows a trend that's been going on within the last few years in pen-and-paper games, that is, making material available to publishers to encourage competition and the contribution of high-quality gaming material to the market.
Most material in GORETM is Open Game Content, and Goblinoid Games provides a free license to use the GORE trademark to produce third-party products that are compatible not just with GORETM, but also with any of several old-school games using a percentile-based system with similar algorithms.
It it Free?
Yes! You can download it in the table on the right of this web page. While we do not charge for this download, donations are appreciated if you find a use for this product.
If you are a publisher interested in producing GORETM compatible products, you will also find the most up-to-date GORETM License and product logo for download in the table on the right.
How to Use GORETM
This product can be used by itself. As a generic system, GORETM stands fairly well on its own, but will need some more fleshing out for most people. Particularly, this is evident in the lack of a
general equipment section
for modern and sci-fi gaming. There is no monster section or presentation of a game setting.
It is the intent of the author that these gaps will be filled with further products, not just by Goblinoid Games, but also by third-party publishers. In the mean time, the reader will find that there are a number of products on the market that have been produced since the 1980s and are completely compatible with GORETM.
This work should be considered a living project. There will certainly be points that need clarification or expansion, and editorial mishaps that need fixing.
Once enough corrections are gathered, an updated version of this work will be released. I encourage feedback of any nature. Those who send me errata will be credited in later releases.
I hope you enjoy this product, and please watch for further GORETM material.
