Crowns 2nd Edition
A downloadable game
Crowns 2e in a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-10 players. It is built to fulfill the fantasy of a dark age where magic is real, monsters prowl the shadows, and combat is deadly.
Your goal is to collect crowns (gold coins), strange magic items, and monstrous trophies in the dangerous wilderness and bring them back to civilization. To this end, you’ll roll dice, use equipment, and outsmart your enemies in pursuit of becoming legends.
Or die trying, as fate may have it.
For Players
- Fast and tactical combat that doesn't require miniatures or extensive note-keeping (but is still playable with both!)
- 36 Titles to personalize your Seeker with over the course of their career (sound confusing? There's also premade lists in case you want to skip the specifics and just make a Fighter, Paladin, Wizard, Rogue, etc!)
- Simple yet in-depth rules for strongholds, downtime, retainers, and warfare (become a conqueror, rule a kingdom!)
- 20 spells, each rare and powerful (their casting effected by what's around you, your skill, and the amount of force you put behind it, you might turn a puny fire ball into a raging inferno!)
For Game Masters
- A bestiary of 80 classic fantasy monsters (each entry kept easily readable!)
- Over 40+ interwoven tables of treasures (ceremonial arms and armor, cloth-of-gold tapestries, silver idols, potions, orichalcum rings, diamonds, magic artefacts, arcane foci, and more: all with gold values, modifiers, and quirks!)
- Methods of converting modules and monsters from other RPG systems over to Crowns 2e (no need to throw out your old books, they're still good!)
- The return of the acclaimed faction system (improved and better than ever!)

What Still Needs to be done?
- Finishing out the bestiary
- Finishing out the spell lists
- Finishing out the random Dungeon and Region pages
