SHIV

Become a Local hero

SHIV is a fantasy rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game about roving through a magic-filled world and solving problems for others. With specialized tools in hand, become Vagrants and take on the work that brave knights and adventurers won’t do.

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.

What's inside? 

• Simple Core Rules -- 8 Pages of easy to digest gameplay based around a 3-stat d8 & 2d10 Roll-under system. 
• Lightning fast Character Creation -- Make your character in under 5 minutes.
• No Classes -- Use Equipment and Magic with no restrictions. 
• Nimble Combat --  Deal fixed damage values and roll to dodge.
• Easy to Prep -- As a GM, run one-line Enemy stat blocks with ease.  
• GM Tool Kit -- A concise section of prep rules and guides aimed to help you run the game. 

Inspirations

SHIV is inspired by DIY culture, Final Fantasy IX, and Gachiakuta. It mechanically pays homage to OSR/NSR games like Yochai Gal's Cairn and Chris McDowall's Into the Odd.
