It is currently under early development. TODO: Introduction saying many hobbyists want a narrative game and emergent moments. Adventure band is designed to make the story unfold in unpredictable ways. I wouldn't call it rules-light, but we don't regard complexity as desirable. == Open Game Content == The rules for Adventure Band are free to use, modify, republish, and sell under the [[Open Game License]] version 1.0a. The Drintera™ setting is Product Identity owned by Shewstone Publishing LLC. == Setting == The setting for Adventure Band is an original fantasy world called [https://www.worldanvil.com/w/drintera-shewstone-publishing Drintera]™. It's a world where adventurers explore lost cities, perform secret missions for lords and monarchs, and eventually become champions of the gods themselves. == Rules Engine == Updated June 2022: Adventure Band is based on the ''[https://fate-srd.com/fate-condensed Fate Condensed]'' rules engine. We settled on this instead of a D20-based engine, because there are plenty of good D20-based dungeon crawling games out there already. Fate™ is better aligned to our design goals (see below). = Rules = * [[Character creation]] * [[:Category:Character Classes|Character Classes]] * [[:Category:Stunts | Stunts]] * [[:Category:Spells | Spells]] * [[:Category:Ancestry]] * [[Character Aspects]] * [[Loot]] * [[:Category:Equipment|Equipment]] * [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] = Design Goals = See also the [[Design Notes]] page. * Inspire players and GM to imagine and describe the action. The best moments are spontaneous. * The best mechanics are simple. Be suspicious of complexity. * Support creative problem-solving * Emphasize teamwork and provide mechanical support for teamwork * Playable with or without electronic tabletop * Supports plugging into a homebrew or published setting. Setting is not baked into the rules. * Balance. We don't want some characters to overshadow others. We don't want any options so powerful that you're at a disadvantage if you choose something else. = Is Adventure Band for You? = Adventure Band may be to your liking if: * you want to solve problems creatively. * how you roleplay your character is more important than how much damage they can do. * your character falling out of the frying pan and into the fire sounds fun. Adventure Band is probably not for you if: * power gaming is your thing. * you need exotic character options like a half-elemental thunder gnome shadowrune bladesoliloquist to have a good time. * you're uncomfortable with improvisation. * you want a truly rules-light experience. Adventure Band has structure; there's not a lot of handwaving. 8pjw73egbz5iagqar6pi6ky6543p6iv
