Knave
The second edition of KNAVE is coming soon on Kickstarter, featuring compatibility with OSR games without classes. Knave eliminates class systems in favor of every PC being a tomb raider who wields spellbooks just as easily as blades for adventure-seeking ne'er-do-well characters that can switch focus from time to time and don't like feeling pigeonholed into one role or equipment set by the group's equipment choices. Knave also includes optional player rolls, allows referees total control of game play without limiting players in any way while allowing them complete creative freedom with their character creations; eliminating level-less spells as well as a list of 100 standard spell names and providing additional designer commentary explaining why rules were written that certain ways to aid hobbyists who want more flexibility. When purchasing the second edition, customers also receive an accompanying Word document where they can use design elements provided by Sebaldu's Gotisch font for their own custom Knave tablets!
