Ever want to want to play an RPG with your friends (or strangers) and by the time everyone has rolled up a character, you've explained the rules with everyone barely paying attention while doom scrolling on their phones, everyone is awkwardly trying to figure out how they know each other, and suddenly it's time for everyone to go home? Or maybe you've always  wanted to try a solo PRG, but by the time you've read 100 pages of rules, it's past your bedtime, and you roll over promising yourself you'll get around to starting "tomorrow."

Well if this sounds like you, look no further!  GRAVEBOUND is designed to be ridiculously simple so you're up and gaming in 5-10mins TOPS. Even faster after your first time! GRAVEBOUND is a genre agnostic system! Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Cyberpunk? Steampunk? Whatever you're in the mood for! Plus it lends itself very well to using adventures, maps, characters, monsters from any other game systems you already own.

Character creation is only a minute or two. Which is especially helpful in grimdark settings where lives are very expendable. I mean you can't get that attached to a guy you came up with a minute ago, heh heh..

Rules are provided as PDF files you can read or print as you like. They are only a couple pages so you're busting orc skulls as fast as possible! All you really need to play is a regular D6 die, although it probably helps to have a couple for each player. Or there's always a die rolling app on your phone these days. A pencil or pen for each player. Maybe some coins/tokens. While you don't need any miniatures or maps for your table, if you have them, you should use them!

Feedback welcome and appreciated! Love it? Hate it! Lets us know in the comments. But by the time you read this page, you could have already read the rules and started playing!

New Mini Zine PDF! Great for handing out to new players, they can use the back cover as their character sheet. After printing it, refer how to cut/fold a mini zine

Note: Campaign PDF is only a placeholder while I continue playtesting them.

While you certainly don't need minis to play GRAVEBOUND, who can't resist some eye candy on the table? But in the interest in keeping things as low-effort as possible, here are some paper minis especially crafted for this game: GRAVEBOUND 1000+ Paper Minis
