A downloadable game

EMBARK is a heroic fantasy TTRPG inspired by the OSR with my own personal style and likes built in.

It uses a universal d12 based resolution mechanic, and has classic OSR systems like morale, reactions, item slots, and focus on rulings over rules.

Player characters start a little more powerful than one might expect from an OSR game, but stay at a mid-level power throughout their career. This ensures first level characters won't die in a single hit, but keeps the dangers of low level play always present.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Fast paced zone based combat
  • Simple and intuitive class system
  • Heroic, yet grounded adventures
  • Simple dice based spell system
  • Easily hackable system licensed under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0
