Boundless RPG

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, Cthulhu Dark, Fate, Into the Odd, Blades in the Dark, or Ironsworn, 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.

Key features

A fast, deadly system that delivers tension and consequence.

• Core d6 pool system: every 5–6 is a Hit; the more Hits, the better the outcome
• Build dice pools from Attributes, by burning Stamina, or relying on Items and advantages to face danger
• Stamina also protects you from threats, but it drains with every Save
• Drop to 0 HP and grit through Death Saves that can sap your Attributes
• Player-facing combat: you roll to attack and defend; enemies never roll
• Dice pools double as clocks to track tension and creeping threats
• Items degrade through usage pools that shrink as they’re used
• Supports solo and GMless play
• Free and open-licensed under the ORC License — free to print, play, and hack
• Old-school feel, modern flow — fast rulings, real danger, lasting scars
