Description

Blades & Heart is a rules-lite, fantasy TTRPG where the only limit... is your imagination!

Plus, it uses a d12, which has been scientifically proven to be the best die.

YOU ARE A PARTY OF ADVENTURERS FROM THE SOCIETY OF QUEST TAKERS. Your goal is to delve dungeons, slay dragons, collect treasure, and otherwise be heroic in your medieval fantasy world. The vicious Grizzlewart has declared himself King of the Goblins. He and his goblin horde have cut off all major trade routes into town, and the mayor has called upon The Society to rid them of this menace!

I love getting together with pals and playing make-believe. I'm sure you do too, but I want to let you in on a little secret...

You don't need a huge rulebook to have a great time!

Blades & Heart offers everything you need to get together with your pals for fun, fast, fantasy adventure, spread across an EIGHT PAGE ZINE, including...

  1. Creating a character including ancestry, class, and background
  2. Picking weapons and spells
  3. Rolling a die to resolve uncertainty
  4. Building your own adventure
  5. Running the game for your friends

Who's this game for? Anyone with an imagination and a desire to have fun! Seriously!!! Here are some examples of people who can have a great time playing Blades & Heart:

  • Someone who has never played Dungeons & Dragons
  • A D&D Grognard
  • People looking for a few hours of play on a casual game night
  • Narrative-focused players
  • GMs who didn't have time this week to prep the usual campaign session

And the list goes on!
