Core Rules

The Open Adventure: Fantasy Core Rules set you up to play roleplaying games in fantasy worlds like those described in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar books, Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories, or N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy. Everything you need, aside from some dice, pencils and paper, and a friend or two to play with, is included in this book.

Rules Modules

A Rules Module is a package of new rules that changes some aspect of the game. A Rules Module might expand upon rules you are already using, add new rules, or replace existing rules with something new. Rules Modules are optional, and they are not required to play a fun game of Open Adventure. As a group, the players and Adventure Guide get to decide which Rules Modules (if any) they want to use. The Rules Modules here are designed to guide you in the creation of your own Rules Modules. Contact us on Discord to share your Rule Module with the greater community.
