Boundless
Soulslike Tabletop RPG, Old-School Grit
The world is against you, filled with unimaginable horrors and an ever-looming darkness. Play until you break. Then stand back up.
Boundless is a soulslike tabletop RPG with old-school grit and modern design. If you love Year Zero Engine, Into the Odd, MÖRK BORG and Blades in the Dark, you’ll feel right at home. The entire game fits on a single page, including the character sheet. Quick to learn, deadly to play, and endlessly hackable.
Print it now and use it tonight to run doomed spacefarers, cursed knights, or wanderers in collapsing cities.
