Unbound
Unbound is a rules-light game of world building¸ storytelling¸ tactical combat and pulp action that will give you the best session zero you've ever had. As players make their characters by choosing three modular elements (a core identity¸ a role that defines their battlefield capabilities and a trait that marks out their personal approach)¸ the GM will craft their adversaries¸ the world¸ and the adventure at the same time by asking the players questions related to the abilities and roles they choose. In an hour or so¸ you'll have a setting ripe for exploration and plenty of mysteries to solve. Each player uses their own deck of standard playing cards which are marked and modified over the course of a campaign to represent their character - as well as their hit points¸ their glories¸ their weaknesses and their overall skill level. An innovative stamina and wounds system keeps combat fast and flowing whilst making injuries impactful and dangerous¸ and over 60 adversaries each with unique abilities give the GM a wide variety of dynamic and deadly tools to wield against the players.
