Fantasy Crown RPG
 |
Fantasy Crown is an old school style rpg¸ filled with black and white artwork hailing back to the 1980's style. It is a core rulebook for making characters¸ magic¸ psionics and game rules.
With the 5e ability check system blended with an OSR feel¸ it is a great first step towards old school play but using the core ability check system from 5e that feels so familiar.
Fantasy Crown forgoes classes for character creation generator based around one's ancestry to build your scores and ratings. This is combined with a unique magic system and resource pool mechanic to give the game it's own individual type of play.
It is designed to be lighter in rules and quick to pick up at the table. It has proven excellent for short term play from one shots through to campaign play.
It features:
Unique resource dice pool magic system.
Psionics as well using a power die mechanic.
Inclusion of Alchemy and potion making.
5e ability checks.
Classless leveling - where armour training¸ close combat¸ ranged combat¸ initiative¸ hit dice and saving throws have different ratings that can be increased to give different sorts of characters.
Making use of simple talents in place of class abilities or feats.
Quick character creation generator to help speed up starting but also giving you a hint of back story at the same time. Perfect for one shots or for overcoming unforseen character deaths.
Bringing you a great way to transition into the OSR.
