Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, genre-agnostic tabletop RPG with a 2d10 core, character creator, desktop app, and a fully realized New Orleans setting.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

20 Below combines a 2d10 roll-under system with five elemental Attributes and supernatural Gifts, allowing the same rules to support different genres and settings. The homepage also points to a character creator and desktop app, while Backwater Static supplies a specific test case: a New Orleans shaped by secrecy, static, and something beneath the city. The project links its source and history on GitHub and identifies the rules as ORC-licensed and in active playtest.
