TiGGR SRD: A Tiny Game Roars Free
The amp’s slashed. The dice are rolling. We’re live.
Meet TiGGR—a Tiny Game for Generalized Roleplaying. It’s small, sharp, and built to shred through any genre you throw at it. We’ve been jamming on this system at The Grey Ledger Society, and now it’s yours to hack, reskin, and run wild with. The full System Reference Document (SRD) just dropped—raw, unfiltered, and licensed under CC BY 4.0. Remix it. Redistribute it. Just give us a shout in the credits.

What’s TiGGR?
TiGGR is a lightweight framework for 2–5 players—1 GM, 1–4 troublemakers. Sessions clock in around 30–45 minutes. You’ll need two d6s, three stats (Body, Mind, Charm), and a vibe that says keep it fast, keep it loose.
Character creation? Blink and you’re done:
- Pick a Role (e.g., Hacker, Rocker, Psychic Heiress)
- Add a Special Ability
- Snag some Signature Gear
- Roll out
Vehicles? Optional. But if you bring one, it hits like a power chord—10 HP, one-use signature trick, and big story energy.
The core mechanic is clean:
2d6 + stat vs. target difficulty (6 = Easy, 8 = Standard, 10 = Tough)
Combat is fast and furious—hit, dodge, or eat dirt.
No XP. No levels. Just narrative growth and wild progression.
Why TiGGR?
Because we’re in the Tutelary Age—creation is a band, not a solo act. TiGGR is our distortion pedal. A rulebook that hums like feedback. A skeleton that’s built to move.
It’s light on math, rich on momentum. It doesn’t care what genre you’re in—as long as you vibe. Fantasy vending machine smuggling? Noir ghost heist? Sci-fi western slow dance?
Yes. Always yes.
The SRD gives you everything you need:
- Core mechanics
- A microsetting builder
- GM tips
- Progression system
- The spirit of the thing
All under 500 words. Tiny by design, so you can layer your own noise.
Take It. Break It.
Head to the repo and fork it. Add your own hooks.
Introduce a new stat like “Grit” or gear like “Haunted Walkman.”
Publish your own zine using the rules. Or don't—just play.
It’s licensed under CC BY 4.0, which means:

All we ask is:
“This game uses the TiGGR system, originally designed by The Grey Ledger Society.”
We’ll keep evolving it too. Expect updates when the groove demands it.

This isn’t a finished track—it’s a live cut, buzzing with potential.
The Kinks Would Get It
The Davies brothers knew a thing or two about distortion. They slashed their amp to get that raw tone. TiGGR carries that same spirit: rough, real, and ready to roar.
Purists might scoff—“Too simple!”
We say: simplicity’s the soul of a good riff.
Plug in. Roll the dice. Let’s see what you’ve got.
We made this. Now it’s we—and you.
