In this context, a hack is an alteration of a game. All of these games are based on Lasers & Feelings, which is is a free, one-page game system by John Harper that creates science fiction stories much like campy Star Trek episodes (fan-made character sheet 1, fan-made character sheet 2). Because Lasers & Feelings has a creative commons license, it is legal for others to take the core structure of this game and alter it so that it has a different setting.

This page is a list of as many Lasers & Feelings hacks as I could find, roughly organized by genre. Currently this list contains at least 177 different hacks (as of May 17, 2022). Please let me know if there are other hacks I can add to this list!

    Luchadoraton caught my eye (how weird and fun!), as well as Harts and Minds and Danes & Dragons. Thanks for this, can’t wait to bring them to my RPG group.

    • FayOnyx says:

      I am so excited that you are finding this page useful! <3

      This was something I created because I need it. There are a few lists of Lasers & Feelings Hacks out there, but none of them are easy to use (they are either discussions in forums or long lists with no information on the content of the game). I am hoping to play some of these in my Unfamiliar Heroes Podcast Series, and I wanted to have a list I could show to participants to help them quickly find games they were excited about trying.

  5. […] I’ve posted this on Twitter and on Tumblr, so why not here? While I’m plugging away at my own larger RPG project, the fine folks at Tempting Fate on Saving Throw Show inspired me to put together a hack of John Harper’s one page RPG Lasers & Feelings. If you aren’t familiar, it’s a game inspired by The Doubleclicks’ song of the same name, where your character is a member of a starship crew that leans more towards lasers (science, cold rationality, precise action) or feelings (intuition, diplomacy, passionate action). Since the system’s so simple it’s got a gang of hacks that people have made for different settings. […]

  6. Sherard Maine says:

    Hey all, thanks for the work you’ve all done compiling this

    I’m trying to figure out which (of the many, many options above) to use if I were to run a Disney themed adventure for my daughters – Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, Snow White, Frozen, Mulan, Brave, Cindarella should all be doable – I figured it would have to be called “Wear a Dress and have an Animal Sidekick”, so maybe hack Danes with Dragons?

    There would surely be room for such a hack even in a crowded field like this one – which would you start with?

    • FayOnyx says:

      It is super awesome that you are making a hack to play with your daughters!
      I think there is a lot of room for more hacks that are children friendly, especially ones for girls.

      Danes and Dragons has a lot of extra stuff in it, so it might not be the easiest one to start with. If I was making a Disney themed hack, I’d start by looking at one designed for gameplay that would most closely fit my desired theme. The magical girls games would be worth looking at. You might also want to look at games aimed at kids or that are kid themed, such as Animal Crossing, Muppet Babies, Tricks & Treats, and the teen superhero games. Also, as a reminder, at the very bottom of the list is {{Blanks}} & [[Spaces]], which is a form ready for you to fill in.

      In thinking about the core theme of the game, it can be helpful to think about the two key traits that the characters will be using. Maybe something like “Courage and Magic?” I think that would work especially well for something like Frozen. Or “Heart and Magic?” Or maybe “Courage and Love?”
      Or “Love and Daring?”

  7. […] If you like it, you can find a long list of other Lasers & Feelings hacks here. […]

  8. I just cranked out a quick and dirty political satire post-apocalyptic hack: https://popone.innocence.com/archives/2018/12/31/wheels-and-walls.php

    Thanks for maintaining this list!

    • FayOnyx says:

      Thanks for giving me the link! I’ve got it up in the post-apocalyptic section (a tricky one to categorize, as it fits in two categories).

  9. May I offer up my own Lasers and Feelings hack?

    “The Mice-Men of Mirewald” mashes up L&F with Mouse Guard (and ends up pretty close to the premise of Luchadoraton). It diverges more from L&F than many other hacks I’ve read and ends up being more complicated as it tries to incorporate some Mouse Guard tech, but I think it’s L&F ancestry is still evident.

    I was not aware anyone read my blog.

    • FayOnyx says:

      Not sure about your game specifically, but I find some links through periodic google searches for “Lasers and Feelings Hack.” Searching popular upload sites, like DriveThruRPG, can be rewarding. And there are a surprising number of Reddit threads where people post links to hacks.

      In addition, the other person with a big list of hacks (https://rendedpress.blogspot.com/2017/07/lasers-feelings-assorted-l-mods.html) and I seem to be trading links back and forth. We each organize our lists very differently.

    That one can be removed – the updated version is the live, real, current version 🙂

    Thanks also for hosting all these L&F links!

    • FayOnyx says:

      Thanks for writing in! The original link still works on my computer and I think that it is cool for folks to see the evolution of the the game from the original to the updated version. However, I have switched the order so that the updated version comes first to encourage folks to play the updated version. 🙂

  37. Walfalcon says:

    Hey! Thanks a ton for this! Maybe Problem Sleuth would fit better in the “contemporary humor” section though? No big deal if you don’t want to change stuff. Also I made another hack called “Roots Radicals”, it’s about playing in a skacore band and also sometimes fighting ninja.

    Amazing list, I discovered many great games thanks to you!

    I made a hack some time ago : Stone Creatures (https://squidam.itch.io/stone-creatures), where you play gargoyles arbitrating feuds and dispensing justice among the other supernatural beings hidden in the cities. I assume it would fit in the Paranormal and Supernatural category.

    Thanks!

  54. Angel says:

    I wrote this that might fit in the animal category https://angelsimeonov.itch.io/lizards-suits

  55. Just thought I’d throw my own “Lasers & Feelings” hack onto the pile. “Chords and Corpses” has the players as a horrorpunk band who keep running into the ghoulish, ghastly, paranormal, supernatural, extraterrestrial, and sometimes just the pedestrian.

    It’s a silly love letter to bands like the Misfits, Blitzkid, 3-D Invisibles, and more.
