Soulburn

** This game is actively being developed, and is in a draft format.

Soulburn is a fantasy TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game) that's fast and flexible, easy to learn and play, and favors imaginative role-playing over crunchy game mechanics.

You take on the role of an adventurer in a world of magic, wonder, and danger. But it can be gritty and grimdark, or epic and heroic—you’re not limited to one setting or play-style.

Move minis on a grid, or use theater of the mind. Get as tactical as you want to! The action is dramatic and story-driven, and the combat is fast-paced and exciting.

The goals of Soulburn are to have fun, lift each other up, and tell great stories together. That means it’s a collaborative storytelling experience, where you support each other, take turns in the spotlight, accomplish great deeds, and contribute to the shared narrative.

The game works best with 3–6 players. You'll also need 2–5 hours per session, something to take notes with, some ten-sided dice, and a place where you can get loud——there will be plenty of yelling, cheering, and exclamations of dread!
