EMBARK

EMBARK on uncharted paths, explore ancient dungeons, and travel where discovery and danger await.

EMBARK is a heroic, yet grounded fantasy TTRPG inspired by OSR philosophy with a touch of modern systems, all wrapped in my own personal style.

The heroic capabilities of the characters are honored by placing them in dangerous and hard to solve situations. You may be powerful and brave, but you are not supper powered or immortal. Death, injury, and even getting lost in the wilderness are all real dangers for characters of any level.

If popular modern style games have you playing s as fantasy super heroes, EMBARK has you playing as fantasy Indiana Jones.

In this game you will find:

• All the rules you need to play and run EMBARK.
• Meaningful rules with plenty of room for rulings over rules that allow for long term campaigns as well as quick one-shots.
• System designed for ease of use and learning with a universal d12 based resolution mechanic.
• Simple and intuitive class based system with both horizontal and vertical progression ensure no single hit death, yet keep the dangers of low level play ever present.
• Easy to run zone based combat with side based initiative where attacks always hit.
• Robust item slot system to allow character customization through items as well as class.
• Streamlined dice based spell system.
• Easily hackable system licensed under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0
