Bardcore
  What is Bardcore? In a party of exclusively musicians, use the power of your imagination and the shuffle button to unleash magic and mayhem upon all your problems! Bardcore is a rules-light* one-page ttrpg designed for short one-shot adventures. The definitive answer to the age old question: "what would happen if the whole party were bards?" Because that's definitely a question people ask. How does Bardcore work? With no dice and no character sheets, all you need to play Bardcore is your imagination and some tunes! Every spell you cast is a song in your playlist, and spells are randomized using the power of the shuffle button.
