Release New RPG: Spirit and Steel Core Rulebook

[DaveM]

Hi there. I've just released by first non-5e product: a minimalist TTRPG called Spirit & Steel, which is now available on Drivethrurpg. Further info is below. Hope it's of interest. Thanks!

Spirit & Steel is a new minimalist fantasy roleplaying game designed to be easy for newcomers to learn, while having enough tactical versatility for more combat-focused players.

The game system is built around the d20; no other dice are needed. Characters have the flexibility to choose a range of different abilities, allowing for both significant customization while offering incentives to follow one of three archetypes that open up more powerful abilities and spells.

Key features of the Spirit & Steel Core Rulebook include:

• a quick and intuitive character creation system
• 5 ancestries, 3 roles/archetypes, and 5 backgrounds
• 72 abilities, including 34 prestige abilities
• 54 spells
• 32 magic artifacts
• a bestiary of 55 creatures
• a short introductory adventure

The Core Rulebook is available here: Spirit & Steel Core Rulebook - DSM Games | DriveThruRPG.com

The free Quick Start Rules can be found here: Spirit & Steel Quick Start Rules - DSM Games | DriveThruRPG.com
