Welcome to Basic Action Games! We are the makers of BASH!
Ultimate Edition, a fast-paced, rules-lite superhero
rpg and Honor + Intrigue Swashbuckling Rpg.
Basic Action Games was
founded by Chris Rutkowsky in 2004, beginning with the
launch of BASH!
Basic Action Super Heroes. The game was created
while Rutkowsky
was working for an after-school program and wanted to
introduce rpgs to
kids. Thinking that superheroes was the ideal
genre, he looked
for a Supers game that would be simple enough for kids--
but was unable
to find one. So he created his own, using very
simple math, with
a minimum of record keeping. While play testing,
friends told
Chris that this would make a fine mainstream supers
game-- and that was
the birth of Basic Action Games.
The system seemed so malleable, that it was later
adapted for cinematic
fantasy role-playing, and science fiction
games, as well as in partnership with some third party
publishers.
Since then, Basic Action
Games has also produced the Honor + Intrigue
Swashbuckling RPG.
