Welcome to Millennium Peaks, a quaint but remote small town on the Pacific west coast surrounded by mountains and forest. It is February 17th, 2000 and the last couple of months the town has been cut off from the outside world, with no means of communication, due to an event the local residents call the "Star Fall". Reports of seemingly weird objects falling from the sky creating extensive technical havoc and isolating the town.
In this tabletop RPG adventure, you will follow a group of strangers that was brought together to complete a basic supply drop over at the nearby watchtower. A simple task that would normally only take a couple of hours complete. However, it seems like the weird objects that fell from the sky during New Year are starting to make themselves known to everyone around them.

What is ICRPG?
Index Card RPG (ICRPG for short) is a light but complete D20 roll-over rules system with simple character creation, fast-playing combat, and all the timers, targets, monsters, and miniatures you need to play right away. More interestingly, ICRPG is a toolkit of do-it-yourself techniques to streamline any game.
You can easily adapt ICRPG's videogame-style ideas to any other RPG: Hearts (Zelda-inspired hit points), Effort (a way of pacing a scene), universal Targets (every roll in a given scene is rolled against the same Target number), and "banana movement" (on your turn, your miniature can move across the playfield the length of a banana and still take another action).
The idea is to use index cards in place of a map or gridded mat. Rather than a checkerboard, you have a place with something happening right on the card. A GM could, at worst, shuffle the cards and deal them out like a tarot reading and voila, there's tonight's dungeon!
