What is it about?
Ajey Pandey’s BOLT supports fast, dangerous action across settings. The creator supplies the full v1.0 game and the revised 2024 Core System; Core explicitly needs adaptation into a complete game.
02
At the table
Roll a d10 with attribute and skill modifiers against difficulty. Read the d4 separately for perks or complications, rather than adding it to the d10. Tenacity can improve a failed result and encourages taking risks.

BOLT’s text permits commercial adaptation under CC BY-SA 4.0, with an additional text-only option.
Conditions
The inspected v1.0 and Core 2024 PDFs license text under CC BY-SA 4.0: credit Ajey Pandey, link the licence, mark changes and share adapted text under the same or a compatible licence. They also offer a modified alternative limiting literary share-alike to text; that option requires retaining the specified legal sentences. Artwork is excluded, and Core also excludes layout. Incompatible proprietary use requires a separate agreement.
