​Lasers & Feelings
​As far as light RPGs go, this is a pretty light one at only 1 page in length.
The rules are simple, all characters have only 1 stat.
All actions are divided into 2 types of actions.

• Lasers: Actions based on logic, science and knowledge are Lasers actions.
• Feelings: Actions based on emotions, instinct and intuition feelings actions.

When a character attempts a Lasers action, they want to roll under their stat and when they attempt a Feelings action they want to roll over.
If a player rolls exactly on the stat value, they get a special result called Laser Feelings.
So if a character has a high stat, they are more logical. A lower stat means they are more emotional.
Lasers & Feelings is a scifi RPG designed to loosely emulate the theme and style of Star Trek and this is reflected in traits. Characters are defined by 2 traits which have a sci-fi feel to them.

• What they are: Such as daring, sexy, hot shot etc.
• What they do: This is a player's career such as pilot, engineer.

When a character attempts something, if they have a trait that is appropriate for that action, they gain an additional die to roll.
Finally, characters gain a motivation, includes traits such as solve mysteries, shoot bad guys and so on.
The players also get a spaceship that has 2 traits and 1 weakness.
And that's it, the players are ready to go.
The GM is encouraged to only loosely define an adventure (Or mission.) and let the players define some elements of the plot and run with it.
Lasers & Feelings uses an elegant concept to define characters. hopefully this will lead to interesting encounters and narratives.
