Arachno-Nerds!!
There’s a villain trying to discombobulate the polyverse! You are just the team of dimension hopping spider men (and/or women) for the job. At least, you will be once you can get a few seconds to sort out your messy personal lives..

Arachno-Nerds!! Is a Spider-verse inspired tabletop roleplaying game in which you play super-heroic spider people as you web sling, wall crawl, and quip your way through weird words and do battle with nefarious ne’er-do-wells and their hordes of malicious miscreants.
There’s also this whole thing where you’re frequently being interrupted by ridiculous personal problems back in your home dimension. But it’s fine – It’s good actually! Cleaning up your messy personal life is how you grow as an arachno-nerd, and growth means new abilities!
What’s In the Book
The Rules
Arachno-Nerd!! uses a simple D6 dice pool system. Players declare their intent and build their dice pool with a combination of spider stats and nerd gimmicks. Once they roll they discard any dice that are 3 or less. Any that show 4 or more are spent to resolve the current Crisis, bash appalling adversaries, defend against diabolical damage, or make the smart ass remarks (yes really, this is a vital game element!).
This wild and wacky game is designed to be played in one to three sessions of comic book antics, interdimensional strangeness, inspiring flashbacks, and recurring villains that grow stronger every time they appear.

About the Havoc Engine
Havoc Engine games are: short-form, over-the-top, and give players the bulk of narrative authority.
Havoc believes players should do the fun thing immediately and then find another fun thing to do based on the first fun thing. This engine is more candy than you should eat. This engine is a greased pig. This engine is a drum kit for your seventh birthday. This engine is Friday night forever.
The Havoc Engine Toolkit is designed to help you make your own original games, and then unleash them on the world.
