Mini-Moxie

Mini-Moxie is a lightweight ruleset based on Moxie, the system used in Grimwild and The Wild Frontier of Venture. It cuts down on terminology and makes learning the game easier. 

Use Mini-Moxie to play pick-up games, or create your own Made with Moxie game using this as your starting point!

Here are the major changes:

• The GM Moves Structure has been boiled down to Trouble, the complications added from rolls and suspense.
• All harm has been condensed into marks.
• Backgrounds, Wises, and Bonds have all been rolled into Traits.
• Talents have been reduced to 8 templates, which can be used to create your own. 50 example talents are included.
• Character sheet reduced to a half-page.
• Potency has been removed, keeping "Impossible feats" available with talents.

Resouces:

• Story Kit Template for Canva
• Character Sheet Template for Canva

Changelog:

November 2025: 1d pools automatically drop when triggered. Added a GM page with guidance, optional rules, and added a few last rules updates with the help of Sean Yeldell (Shell) on Discord. The project is now complete, but may have small updates for typos and talents.
