The Fantasy Dice roleplaying game system used by Crimson Exodus is being edited for release as a stand-alone game system. Fantasy Dice is quite unlike any other system I have come across, and by releasing it as a separate book I hope it will encourage people to try it for their favourite setting. Also, if you have written your own setting or adventure, and you are looking for a game engine then Fantasy Dice might be for you.
As part of the new Fantasy Dice book I wanted to see if I could improve on the character . . . → Read More: Redesigned Fantasy Dice Character Sheet

Crimson Exodus is powered by Fantasy Dice and I was asked yesterday if there are any combat examples. Since there wasn’t I decided to send a page from the Combat chapter. Now this example assumes that you have read the preceding chapters. I recommend you first read the post on Fantasy Dice, although there were still be terms and tactics which are not explained. If you have any questions please use the contact form and I will try to explain.
Combat is tactical and resolved fast, which I think is realistic and can be interpreted as being quite grim. The combat system was designed . . . → Read More: Fantasy Dice Combat

Fantasy Dice is the roleplaying game engine that powers Crimson Exodus.
So what are some of the features that make Fantasy Dice interesting:
Super simple, but tactically versatile task resolution. Character defining characteristics and aspirations with real benefits.

The first YouTube tutorial on the Crimson Exodus roleplaying game in what is intended to be a short series to present the setting and Fantasy Dice roleplaying system.
No – this is not from the book.
Character creation in Crimson Exodus has been designed to be fast, fun and flexible. For the first part of the process you choose your people (basically race), adjust your attributes and pick your skills from a set number at different proficiency levels.

Once you got the basics sorted you get a few . . . → Read More: Crimson Exodus Character Creation
With this post I will start the long journey to present the Crimson Exodus roleplaying game to the world. There is already some hints about the setting in previous posts so let me start with the game engine – Fantasy Dice. Fantasy Dice was written specifically for the Crimson Exodus roleplaying game, but it is a great system for running any fantasy game.
It was important to me to create a game that can resolve actions quickly, but with lots of tactical choice. The Fantasy Dice game mechanics are there to give the players confidence in what they can do, allow them to be creative in how they approach . . . → Read More: Fantasy Dice
