The Zantabulous Zorcerer of Zo is a fairy tale-themed independently published role-playing game created by Chad Underkoffler and published by Atomic Sock Monkey Press.
The game allows players to take the role of fairy tale characters.
The game uses the Prose Descriptive Qualities （PDQ） system — also used in Atomic Sock Monkey Press's Dead Inside, Truth & Justice, and Monkey, Ninja, Pirate, Robot,
as well as the second edition of Ninja Burger — simplified to increase the flexibility and simplicity required for telling whimsical tales of magic and fairies.
PDQ offers three different levels of task resolution for any situation, in order to let players resolve encounters in as much or as little detail as possible.
PDQ also has three system elements of general interest: an abstracted system for damage or failure in conflicts, a method for generating future game events （or "Story Hooks"） by taking damage, and a player-driven Hero Point system.
The core mechanic is to add 2d6 plus a freeform stat or set of stats, and compare to a difficulty number either a fixed difficulty number or the opponent's roll.
In conflicts, the amount which you beat another character's roll by is the amount of damage or failure ranks （see below）.
Stats are rated in five named ranks: Poor [-2], Average [+0], Good [+2], Expert [+4], and Master [+6].
Conflicts result in the accumulation of either "failure ranks" （which recover at the end of the contest） or "damage ranks" （which may take longer to heal）.
Each point of either type means that the loser must choose a stat to downgrade by one rank.
So if you lose a conflict roll by 3, you must lower three stats each by one rank, or one stat by three ranks （with a minimum of Poor: -2）.
You can choose any stat to take your damage in—i.
