Broken Sorcery
An OSR inspired fantasy RPG focused on player agency, character-driven narratives, and GM resources.
v0.7.6.2
Fantasy RPGs are a dime a dozen. So here's a free one 🤠
Broken Sorcery is a modular system built to be homebrewed. The game provides detailed yet inherently incomplete and opinionated rules—change what doesn't fit your table, add your own house rules, or cherry-pick parts into another system. Your game is yours.
This game started as a fun, creative exercise—and was initially a unique game system. After a few play tests I quickly realized that what I really wanted was a heavily-tweaked OSR-style roll-high game. After hundreds of hours of tinkering and playtesting with friends, I give you Broken Sorcery.
This game is completely free. I plan to fine-tune and evolve the game further over time.
