I've always (like since age five) always created my own board games, card games, and RPGs. When I was like thirteen I even tried my hand at making some homebrew RPG games. Most of them were rule-heavy Pathfinder clones, but there's two that I've found that I really like. One's a more traditional D&D-style game, directly inspired by 5e, but the other is more freeform, and I was wondering if any of you wanted to check them out.
This is a really simple turn-based roleplaying game that is extremely abstract and "gamey". Unlike most RPGs, the goal is to win, the games are short, and not only are you encouraged to screw over the other players, but you often need to to succeed. It's intentionally built to get the players to distrust and hate eachother. It's extremely comedic and centered entirely around the tropes of bad Science Fiction.
If you want a closer look at the rules, I'm actually hoping to start up a game of this here, at this link. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?582616-Superdeath-Highway)
Energybender is, in my own words, "5E light". It's basically 5e with less rules and more input from the DM and players. The primary goal was a game where the entire rulebook would be under 80 pages, and you wouldn't have to write down more than twelve pieces of information about your character. The game is based around proficiency and abstract maneuvers that could be adapted to whatever the players decided.
If you're interested in looking at the rules, here's a google drive link to the v0.5 handbook (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JOlX4ndwHWZ-AKg2I-KPlHHo-bSXNUa1zGGWz_hucic/edit?usp=sharing), which is open for comments.
