The Scratch Role-Playing System

The Squawk Role-Playing Game now uses the Scratch Role-Playing System instead of the Mano a Mano Role-Playing system. (Most versions of Squawk in the past have used Mano a Mano.) Scratch is a simpler and more generalist Role-Playing System (not as focused on close-range combat as Mano a Mano.) We made this decision in 2009, because it is easier for both for us as developers of the book and for new Squawk players. This still means that the Squawk RPG will have a normal all-rights-reserved copyright license, while using an "open source" role-playing system (Scratch, which like Mano a Mano uses a Creative Commons license.)
