CAN YOU STOMP HEADS AND STILL MAKE IT TO CHURCH ON TIME?
You and your brothers just stepped out of the bar. A group of "rice jockey" posers are eyeing your bikes. One of them is actually waving at you like you’re pals. You’ve got a ride scheduled at the Club house ASAP, but these kids need to learn the ropes.
1%er is a rules-light, action-packed role-playing game about the "best of the worst". You play as Nomads—roving outlaws without a chapter, sent by the Mother Chapter to handle the crimes, the charity, and the vigilante justice that local chapters can't touch.
It’s about balancing the heat, the rivals, and your own humanity. Be cool when you can, but when cool won't cut it? Be a fucking bad ass.
THE SYSTEM: SIMPLE, GRITTY, AND PROVEN
The engine behind 1%er is so streamlined and effective that it was later "hacked" to create ENnie and BAMFsie award-winning games. It’s designed to get out of the way of the story while keeping the tension high.
- Beating the Odds: You don't need a math degree. Roll a pool of six-sided dice and look for even numbers—those are Aces (Successes).
- The Pucker Factor: Rolling 1s makes you an Asshole. If you fail a roll and have Assholes left over, things just hit the fan, and your sphincter is going to tighten up.
- Stuff & Things: Your biker is defined by two types of Stuff (Be Cool or Be Bad Ass) and eight Things (Head, Jaw, Heart, Hands, Gut, Feet, Hog, and Tools). Whether you're hotwiring a car (Cool + Hands) or head-butting a rival's teeth out (Bad Ass + Head), the math is instant.
DO YOU GIVE A FUCK?
In this game, "Fucks" are your most precious resource. They represent your health, your drive, and your will to stay on the road.
- Fucking Doing It: Spend a Fuck to add a bonus die to a roll when it absolutely has to work.
- Giving a Fuck: Spend your own points to help a brother out of a jam.
- Recharging the Soul: When you run out of Fucks, your ride is over. You regain them by doing Charity Work (cleaning the slate) or exacting Street Justice (ventilating the assholes who deserve it).
WHAT’S IN THE BOOK?
- Quick Character Creation: Pick a Road Name, grab your gear, and choose your expertise—from Arson and Smuggling to Hacking and Murder.
- Combat Made Chaotic: Rules for Fisticuffs and Shooting ranges that keep the brawls fast and lethal.
- The Tunnels of Tijuana: A complete "Ride" (adventure) involving lost gun shipments, Mexican Cartels, and a betrayal that hits close to home.
- Biker Lingo & Lore: A deep dive into outlaw history and a massive glossary so you can talk the talk.
"1%er is the game for people who want to spend less time looking at charts and more time protecting their turf."
What people are saying
The true elegance of 1%er is found in the concept of 'Fucks.' It acts as a resource and stress track that just makes sense. Your fellow biker needs help - do you give a Fuck? When you get roughed up - that Fucking hurts. This tension drives the game exactly where it needs to go. If you're a fan of Sons of Anarchy or Mayans MC, you should Fuck with 1%er.

The mechanics are expletive-driven, and while it's a rude rule book, it serves a purpose. Somehow it avoids being juvenile and doesn't outstay its welcome. I enjoyed 1%er more than I would have expected - it goes brutal and nasty exactly where it needs to.
— Lowell Francis, Age of Ravens
This is a great rules-light game that does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s perfect for the entire sub-genre of modern gritty-cinematic street stories. Beyond outlaw bikers, you could easily use this for dirty cops, unlucky drug dealers, or any noir denizens of the underside. It's fast, punchy, and incredibly atmospheric.
