118: Victory Basic

Hack100 is a tabletop role-playing game system in which characters can be created in minutes and the vast majority of in-game actions are covered by around a dozen, rather than dozens of, skills. It is also very flexible, eschewing standard lists of professions, skills, powers and monsters in favour of a freeform, collaborative approach. It is a generic system that is suitable for most genres of role-playing games.

FIST: Ultra Edition is a tabletop roleplaying game about paranormal mercenaries doing the tough jobs no one else can. In the game, you belong to a legendary rogue mercenary unit called FIST. You are a soldier of fortune who doesn’t fit into modern society. You are a disposable gun for hire, caught up in the death and destruction of pointless proxy wars and oppressive establishments.

A one-shot tabletop RPG for up to six players (and one GM); where you play orcs trying to infiltrate a human infested city and abduct Prince Theodore Holstein. The rules are written with an eye to make them easy to pick up and learn, and encourage stupid plans and wild distractions, so it's a great game for cons - or just to keep on your shelf if your regular game is called off on short notice.
