Description

GOLEM was created for the Lone Wolf Solo TTRPG Jam MK2 and has grown considerably since then. This is now a complete version.

What is GOLEM?

GOLEM is a solo roleplaying game designed to tell stories about a being twisted by magic who travels the lands to right the wrong.

GOLEM is different to other roleplaying games because it:

  • Resolves uncertain outcomes with playing cards via quick action draws aiming to beat a 7 with partial success built into the system.
  • Incorporates a free-form magic system that relies on building sets of cards.
  • Uses progress track-inspired tools to govern activities that require continued effort such as delving into a dungeon or fighting a monstrous beast.
  • Includes a loose and light and strange world for your adventures but is easily adaptable to any fantasy setting that includes magic.
  • Focuses on shorter adventures that takes place in a generated hex region. One adventure, one region.
