ARMORED BONES

The Laws of Life and Death are fractured almost beyond repair. Cruel and ravenous Fog Demons rampage across the lands of the Shining Empire. Alhwin Aquilla, the Wizard King, is nowhere to be found.

In this frayed existence, so suddenly filled with chaos and destruction, the only heroes with a chance of saving the world...

...are those cursed souls who just won't stay dead.

Armored Bones is a dark fantasy RPG thematically inspired by Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring and other FromSoftware RPGs made by Hidetaka Miyazaki. 

Mechanically, it's heavily inspired by the Tarot Deck roleplaying systems of games such as Wizards Of The Three Moons and Ruin Explorer. (It's also inspired by Apocalypse World, because everything I make seems to have a bit of PbtA in it these days!)

Check this game out if you:

– Enjoy "Soulslike" video games and how they encourage you to learn from every defeat.

– Want to explore a dark, apocalyptic fantasy world with encounters and bosses randomly generated using cards drawn from a Tarot Deck.

– Want to explore the pathos of an undead hero trying to retain their memories, their identities, and their connections with the living.

– Want to cast spells using narrative magic systems that reward creativity.
