Barebones Cairn might be the perfect rpg. I like to fill in the blanks myself.
I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

Practicing drawing mouse adventurers. There’s so many design decisions involved when making these little guys. Opting for a Jill Barklem Brambly Hedge style with little eyes and noses and soft edges, rather than a Bluth animated style.

We went to see Scream at the Byrd last night. It's awesome that they have comfy new seats, and the balcony is open. The theater was packed, great energy.

I have bought two books published by Peow 2 recently: "Mold Mold Mold" and "Magic Mayhem Metal." Both excellent art books, beautiful, I love them dearly.
But they smell insane. What is this ink? What kind of paper is this? I have never smelled books that smell like this.
Still great tho!

I was listening to the Vintage RPG podcast today, which in turn led me into listening to DEVO, My Chemical Romance, and The Weird Lord Slough Feg (because I also listened to their old Erol Otus interview, and he did an album cover).
Devo and MCR are definitely outside my normal wheelhouse.
