MEST

The MEST Narrative miniatures rules system is designed to be a flexible light-weight set of features that can work with numerous genres such as Swords & Sandals, Medieval, Swashbuckler, Wild West, Horror, Victorian Adventure, Pulp Heroes, Modern Battles, Future War, Sci-Fi, or Superheroes. With these rules two or more players can simulate the last exciting minutes of derring-do, harrowing deeds, and heart-stopping acts of courage of any small-scale engagement pulled from any number of genres; from penny novels, serials, and otherwise. Will the dastardly villains win? Will the heroes prevail? Who lives? Who dies? The answers to these questions and more await your decision! —description from the designer
