High/Low is a flexible, lightweight, narrative-focused tabletop roleplaying game designed to make it easy, fast, and fun to create exciting stories with your friends using a small number of simple rules and mechanics and a few 6-sided dice.
The core rules are available in two formats: HTML for reading via web browser, and PDF for printing (on A5 paper, intended for two-sided printing).
There aren't a lot of brand-new ideas here, if any. Many aspects of High/Low were inspired by, modified from, or outright copied from the following great open-source TTRPGs that are worth checking out:

The original form of the rulebook is LaTeX source code, which can be compiled to generate PDF and/or HTML documents like the ones linked above. The source code is maintained in a Git repository, which can be cloned with the following command:
