Description
SimpleQuest is a concise and straightforward D100 system, easy to play yet filled with all the tense excitement and storytelling potential associated with percentile systems.
It is a concise and compact version of OpenQuest, with a few extra rules to make it more pickup and play.
- Compact for travelling and viewing on phones/tablets

This hardcover book weighs in at just over 150 pages, in 6×9 inch format, with full-colour illustrations by Jeshields and a gorgeous wrap round cover by Jon Hodgson.
This book contains the following chapters.

thrilling adventures. - Equipment. This chapter deals with the tools of the adventuring trade. Weapons, armour and general gear such as rope, backpacks and transport costs.
