Wayfarer

Wayfarer is a simple narrative game about going on swords & sorcery adventures in a fantasy world, inspired by and adapted from John Harper's World of Dungeons.

This is a game about dungeoneering and exploration with a few modern touches strongly influenced by Blades in the Dark - like position and effect for your rolls, abstract equipment mechanics, and harm levels instead of HP.

The end result is a game that's easy to play, easy to run, and doesn't get in the way of your heroes and their adventures. The whole game takes up just 7 pages (including GM advice) and comes with character sheets.

If you want hassle-free swords & sorcery adventures suitable for a oneshot, or if you love World of Dungeons but want something focused more on heroic fantasy, then this might just be the game for you!
