This is a pen and paper tabletop roleplaying game, not a computer game. If you're looking for one of those, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere. I highly recommend the dungeon-crawling German rogue-like "Lost Labyrinth" which is free to download and a purely awesome game.
If you're looking for fiction, you're in luck! You will find the completely free comic fantasy novel "The End of The World" at the very back of this e-book. Enjoy.

***Update April 17th, News***
I'd like to give a special 'thank you' to the tens of thousands of gamers and readers who have downloaded and bought my books. That's totally awesome guys!
The print edition of Challenger is here! Congratulations to everyone who managed to get a free copy before I gave them 'all' away in under a week--even before the Amazon description of the book went up! If you're a really big fan and want to playtest or review the book, please send me an e-mail to: sendmedavid404145@hotmail.com and twist my arm until I send you a copy. The deal is officially over, but that doesn't mean you still can't sucker me into giving you a free copy. ;)

Challenger RPG Game Features:
Free, 20+ Races, 36 Classes, 50+ skills including: specific skills, broad skills, power skills, and special ability skills. GM rolls no dice, completely player-driven approach to gaming with a core mechanic using the d20 and set damage ratings for most weapons so combat is faster and more furious than ever before. 2x faster combat than 4E Dungeons and Dragons.
More than 60 Pages of GM advice useable with any system. New rules on stacking monsters, monster subtypes, magic items, a list of monsters for use with Challenger, traps, and rules on non-combat obstacles complete with TN's.
The rules on Base Skills have been removed and clarified. No more must you roll 75 different base skills to start play. It's as simple as choosing your skills, classes, race, 5 powers, purchasing equipment and calculating your stats and you're done!
New rules on armor, equipment, and improved background powers to further detail your character like never before. Crazy races have been ditched and new races combined to make the rules on races simpler, more flexible, and even more entertaining!
You'll still find the classic traits generator for your character, improved formatting thanks to the masterful Matt Fleming (soon to be included in the game credits) and fantastic artwork by the incomparable L.E.C.D.
Our Other Products
1001 RPG Quotes (first 100 or so free in the sample)

Our Mission Statement:
Despite the low (or nonexistent) price of this product I've invested hundreds (if not thousands) of hours in its production. I've flown over 1,500 miles and met countless game designers, playtesters, and fellow gamers such as yourself, and I know Challenger isn't done yet. There's still a long way to go but I must thank everyone who helped me. This game would not be what it is today without the invaluable feedback from countless gamers such as yourself. If you have anything at all to say about the game, good or bad, I'd love to hear it. Any critical advice would be even more welcome. Thank you.

Challenger RPG a Free Roleplaying Game Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Well done system, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Challenger RPG a Free Roleplaying Game (Kindle Edition) Presuming that you understand what you are getting, this is a fine role playing game system. I wouldn't say it's for power gamers, but if you have an intelligent group of players, this could be quite a bit of fun. Tons of races and an amazing focus on the players. Game master doesn't roll any dice, and the players always have initiative.I also give the designer credit in his emphasis on getting feedback from the players. Rare to see a game that so strongly points this out - talk to your players. A steal for free. 8 of 10 people found the following review helpful  Insane. Free. Clever use of previewing. Lots of races., By This review is from: Challenger RPG a Free Roleplaying Game (Kindle Edition) I downloaded the preview, as suggested in the instructions (above). And indeed, the preview contains the entire game.This is not what I would call a "balanced system". If you'd like that instead, my current favorite system is Savage Worlds. Challenger RPG is more like the earlier versions of Gamma World, which I've also enjoyed. That said, I'll sometime pick up a system just to see if it has any insane ideas inside that maybe I could use sometimes. Challenger is way, way up there when it comes to having insane ideas. Among the playable races: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Troll, Horse, Robot, Toad, Catgirl, Ooze, Stickman, Skeleton, Cyclops, Nymph, Centaur, Wraith, Gremlin, Alien, Squirrel, Satyr, Tin soldier, Puppet, Magical orb, T-rex, Narwhal, Immortal, Diety, and Killer chicken. Among the playable classes: Warrior, Wizard, Healer, Beastmaster, Bard, Ninja, Rage maniac, Pirate, Body/mind master, Magic Item Maker, Phase-shifter,...
