MurderHoboes will be a tabletop RPG made for when you just want to kill things and take their stuff.

You roll many different dice. Your character strangles things with his hands, stabs from the shadows, or calls down unholy fire from the sky. You play a MurderHobo.

The game package includes:

• A 5-page PDF containing all the rules, with awesome art by Khairul Hisham and Jaydot Sloane.
• An .azw3 file for use on newer Kindles.
• A .mobi file for use on older Kindles.
• An .epub file for use on iPads and other eReaders.

All rolls are 1d20. You have 4 primary stats: Killing Things, Avoiding Being Killed, Knowing Shit, and Talking Your Way Out of Anything. You have a bonus in each. Add that to your roll and compare to a target difficulty number.

It can also drop whatever it's carrying, all the way to the ground. It can move fast enough to count as a ranged weapon.

Thanks to T.W. Wombat, Bob Smith, and Brian Fitzpatrick for their design advice. MurderHoboes wouldn't be nearly as polished without them.
