Living records
Campaign history that lasts.
Built-in GM support
Tools for richer sessions.
Start simple. Grow deep. Track the campaign as a living history rather than a stack of forgotten notes.
Core Promise
Roleplaying should make sense.
Characters should not gain powers simply because a number changed on a sheet. In Adventurers' Song, growth happens because something happened in the story.
Why did this happen?
You set the direction; the rules follow your story. Your talents, study, survival, vows, relationships, discoveries, and consequences all spark advancement.
How did it happen?
Everything is a skill. Skills combine powerfully. Reactions, tactics, research, use, instruction and story events are all skill driven.
What changes because of it?
Cause-effect governs. Play affects reputations, alignment, debts, standing, injuries, secrets, relationships, and world state.
At The Table
Easy for new players. Powerful for Game Masters.
For players
Put your story first, let the rules follow. Declare what you want to do, and why it makes sense. Roll, and resolve. You now know how to start playing; but real power comes from combining skills and deep tactics.

For Game Masters

A Better System
Skills are the engine.
A skill can be a sword technique, spell, language, ritual, profession, combat tactic, reputation, alignment, attribute, or something entirely unique to your character. The question is not whether it is listed in a book. The question is whether it makes sense. Skills start out simple, but as you learn more of them, and learn how to truly wield them, you will achieve dominion over rich narrative, deep tactics, and exciting game play.

World Lore
Magic is not a menu.
Who are you, really? Energy sources are story sources. Arcane study, divine gifts, primordial attunement, psionic will, infinite contact, and forbidden transgression each ask different questions of the character...and the player. Choose wisely.
Physical
Body, stamina, reflex, and all life's non-magical skills. Tactically powerful and complex. Lots of utility.
Arcane
Study manipulation through pattern, force, sign, and structure. Awesome power...for a bookworm.
Divine
Advance a Deity's agenda and be rewarded with Deity-specific powers. Only true believers need apply.
Primordial
Element, stone, season, weather, beast, and living world. Channel the living energy all around you.
Psionic
Mind, will, memory, dream, time, and perception. Develop your natural gifts.
Forbidden
Power gained by theft, profane act, coercion, or unshielded breach. But was it worth the price?
Depth Mode
Simple at the table. Complete under the hood.
A few rules make a game easy to learn. Deeper rules make mastery rewarding. Adventurers' Song is layered: beginners start with a simple foundation, while master tacticians can explore and theorycraft for a lifetime. Here, you min-max by developing your story.

Living History
Remember that time when...?
It is the crime of the century. Countless great but fleeting moments spent playing tabletop roleplaying games with friends have been lost to history. The epic victories and crushing failures; the betrayals, revelations, and moral choices; the grudges, the laughs, the divine favor... they should not vanish the moment the session ends. This is the single largest failure of the hobby. And it ends here, with Adventurers' Song.
- Session 1A stranger arrives.
- Session 4A vow is sworn.
- Session 9A secret is revealed.
- Session 15A reputation is won.
