SHIV

Sharpen your blade and become a Vagrant for coin or glory. 

SHIV is a high fantasy rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game about roving through a magic-filled world and solving problems for others. 

Don't fight alone!

The action in SHIV is for 3-5 players plus a GM (Game Master). Together forge your story in one-shots or 4 to 10 session campaigns.
