New Update!


Greetings, adventurers! We’re excited to share the latest developments in Barebones RPG. I have been working hard to refine and expand the gaming experience, and we’ve got some exciting changes to showcase.

  1. Bones Luck and Unchangeable Rolls: In response to player feedback, we’ve adjusted the game mechanics. Now, any roll of 1 with checks, combat, magic, or save rolls is unchangeable with Barebones Luck (BL). Brace yourselves for the unpredictability that comes with these unalterable outcomes!

  2. Damage Reduction Die for Worn Armor: Worn armor now incorporates a damage reduction die.

  • Chain Mail: While wearing this armor, the player will roll with burden against Attack, Acrobatic & Stealth checks and a boost towards Mobility Save. Cost: 30 GP, 5 Quality, 3 Slots, -d3 damage reduction when hit.
  • Leather: The player rolls without burden against Attack rolls while wearing this armor. Cost: 15 GP, 3 Quality, 1 slot, -d2 damage reduction when hit.
  • Plate Mail: While wearing this armor, the player will roll with burden against Attack, Acrobatic, and stealth checks and a boost on Mobility Save rolls. Cost: 60 GP, 7 Quality, 5 slots, -d6 damage reduction when hit.
  • Shield: Cost 10 gp -1 damage when being held, 1 quality, 1 slot. The PC can ignore all damage from one attack but the shield breaks.
  1. Barebones RPG on GitHub: Exciting news! Barebones RPG now has a dedicated GitHub site. Access the game rules online and stay updated with the latest changes. Feel free to explore, contribute, and engage with the community on our GitHub platform.

  1. Spellcasting Tweaks: Spellcasters, rejoice! We’ve introduced a daily spellcasting limit mechanic. Each morning in the game, casters will roll a d3+essence to determine how many times they can cast spells that day. This adds a strategic element to spellcasting, keeping players on their toes.

  2. Spell Selection and Variety: For character creation, spellcasters now have the option to roll or pick their starting spells. Embrace the randomness or carefully choose your magical arsenal—it’s all up to you! We believe this flexibility enhances the uniqueness of each character.

  3. Spell Mishap and Wild Magic Table: Prepare for magical mayhem! Introducing a Spell Mishap and a Wild Magic Table, determined by a d66 roll. Embrace the chaos as unexpected outcomes spice up your magical endeavors. Will your spells go off without a hitch, or will the forces of magic have a surprise in store?

We appreciate the ongoing support and feedback from the Barebones RPG community. Your input helps shape the game, and we look forward to your continued adventures in the world we’ve crafted together.

Happy gaming, and may your Barebones Luck always be in your favor!
