A downloadable game

Running Clocks is a setting-agnostic and minimalist RPG system designed for quick, action-packed one shots. With the clock ticking, players will need to fight against increasing opposition in order to accomplish their goal before it's too late.


Gather 2-5 players, a GM and a set of six-sided dice to get started. 3 premade scenarios are provided to get you up and running with little to no prep-time, as well as tips to make your own. Running Clocks is perfect for quick and intense 2-4 hours sessions, including character creation and introduction to the game and mechanics.


If you enjoy Running Clocks, consider giving a look at its main inspirations : Blades in the Dark, Dread RPG and In Nomine Satanis. 

This game was designed for the One Page RPG Game Jam 2022.
