Hello, welcome to the home of The Cursed RPG. What is the Cursed RPG? Well it is a tabletop RPG I have been writting for the last few years with the help of some very good friends. I spent more than three years writing this game and I am now offering the players book for you to give a try. But what is the Cursed RPG? Well...

Throughout history they have been called many things. Shamans, medicine men, wise women, witches, wizards, sorcerers, profits, heretics, the Cursed.

The world of the Cursed is the same as our world, the streets are the same, the stores are the same, it�s the characters that are different. The characters were normal once, then they received "the gift." The gift is the ability to sense beyond the normal into the realm of the supernatural. Some can see the world of spirits, others escaped the other world, while some spent years learning control and alter the natural laws.

The Cursed RPG is a low powered urban fantasy game. Magic isn't real, there are no vampires or werewolves, and here not be monsters. Well, that is what the mass majority want to believe at least. Your character is one of the unfortunate ones who get to learn the truth the hard way. While you play someone capable of wielding great mystical powers, it isn't as good as it sounds. Your character may be more powerful than his mortal ken, he is still the lowest man on the supernatural ladder.

I have had little success in trying to get the player's book edited for free, so a friend suggested that I look into Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a program set up to help people working on a project like this raise funds to get it finished. The thing is, if I do go through Kickstarter, I am going to have to have a product to sell. That being the case, I am taking down the full version of the game from the site so I can offer the finished pdf as a product to sell. I am also taking down the GM book for a similar reason.

I do still intend to give something away free. I created a Cursed RPG Lite. It has the rules most needed to play the game. This will stay on for free.

I will put a link to my kickstarter page, once I get it started. I intend to find out how much it will cost me to get my book edited and a few hundred copies printed (so I can sell them to people buying them through Kickstarter and have some to sell at conventions).

I am also trying to get art for the book. I want to get as much art for free as possible.

Ayway. I am sorry if this turn of events upsets anyone, but I hope you still enjoy playing the Cursed RPG with the Lite rules, and hope you will help support my Kickstarter campiagn once it gets going.

Feel free to download, play and share the lite rules with your friends. In fact, I would love for you to tell everyone you know about the Cursed RPG (hopefully you will tell them good things). You may use this game anyway you wish, except to make a profit, but if you do make a profit, please send me my share. Did I mention that donations are very much welcome and appreciated? As much as I would appreciate donations however, I would like feed back even more. So with that in mind, if you have any thoughts, questions, suggestions, or comments on the game please e-mail me at thecursedrpg@gmail.com.

Just a few things to keep in mind while reading and playing the Cursed RPG. First off, I am lazy. I use the masculine form of pronouns because, in general, it is one less letter to type. Also, please keep in mind I am Canadian, so if something looks like it is spelled wrong, there is a chance it is just the Canadian spelling of the word (though there is a better chance I just spelled it wrong). I sometimes switch between Canadian and American spelling, but that is mainly because my spell checker seems to like to switch from one to the other randomly. Also, most measurements are in metric and then imperial units. The conversion is only rough, just to give a general idea.

I now have some variant classes and extra bonuses and penalties for the player's section online. I hope you enjoy.

Please e-mail me any edits, comments, and/or suggestions at thecursedrpg@gmail.com.

*Note* July 19, 2010. I have a rough copy of my first supplement for The Cursed RPG finished. It is called Cursed of the Walking Dead. It can be downloaded here. Please give me your feedback at thecursedrpg@gmail.com.
