The system: Deathbringer/Dungeon crawl classics
Deathbringer is a rules light version of the world’s most popular roleplaying game and plays very similar to DnD 5e or other retro clones of DnD. The game does have some differences which I think will make it a lot of fun for a one shot, highlights are deathbringer dice which are dice that allow you to roll a D6 to increase a D20 roll or do D6 extra damage or a D6 to reduce damage.
Spells do not have slots but use a roll over system and the higher you roll the more potent the spell, for this we will be using DCC (dungeon crawl classics) spell tables for. For more information please feel free to message me or check out this video Deathbringer RPG Walkthrough (Ep. 265)

To Start: 4 first level spells, dagger.
SCOUNDREL Hit Dice= d8. Light armor only. Advantage when attempting stealth, climbing, listening, lockpicking, searching, etc. +4 to hit and double damage from behind. To Start: leather jacket, club or dagger, thieves’ tools, rope, grappling hook, lucky charm.
