Runehammer, a prolific figure in the tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) community, has a new Bundle of Holding offering, Crown and Skull.
This game system blends traditional and modern RPG design elements, incorporating ideas from Fantasy Hero and Fate into an old-school hexcrawl experience.
Crown and Skull emphasize player creativity, featuring deep point-buy character creation and systems that empower players to build custom characters, equipment, and even spells. Combat is streamlined, with automatic hit rolls and a unique damage system that focuses on attrition of skills and equipment rather than traditional hit points.
The game also offers innovative tools for Game Masters, enabling on-the-fly improvisation and epic adventures with minimal preparation. The comprehensive Game Master’s Guide provides a well-developed setting, the North Holds, filled with heroes, villains, guilds, and dungeons, and advice on modifying and creating new content.
As characters progress, they earn hero points and unlock new abilities. This culminates in the ultimate choice between the Crown, an order of protectors, and the Skull, a path of individual freedom. Each path offers exclusive skills and equipment, further enhancing character development.
