Proscenium

The best stories are told together

Low Rules, Just Right

Proscenium is designed to be easy to learn and simple to run while still boasting strong character customization and engaging mechanics.

Forget trying to remember which dice to roll or what modifier to add. Proscenium uses a unique system which only rolls one, two, or three D20s. No modifiers, no minimum differences.

Preview the System

The Great Spires

Proscenium's default setting is The Great Spires: an endless plane of rocky plateaus rising high above the clouds. A maze of land bridges connects the dotted spires, each with a climate, weather, and topology confined to itself like an endless world of snowglobes.

The core of the world is known as the United City Spires, a coalition of five major cities. Play within the UCS, or venture out into the wilds beyond. The endless plane of the Spires means anything and everything can exist in your game.

Batteries Included

Alongside the system, Proscenium will also feature a bespoke companion app which will facilitate gameplay, character creation, and group campaigns. Play with pen and paper, or online—whichever fits your group best.

No account or subscriptions will be required to play. Fun comes first. Watch this space, as you will be able to simply visit Proscenium.game and start playing.

Homebrew at the Heart

While Proscenium provides a default setting, supporting homebrewers is a core design principle. The system is designed to be easily extended and modified to empower you to tell your stories.

The Proscenium app will support creating and sharing custom homebrew content right alongside core rulesets, including custom settings, abilities, items, NPCs, playable species, and more.

Proscenium and The Great Spires are rapidly developing with input from your favorite TTRPG creators. Proscenium is collaborative at its core and will feature guest-written content from creators and community alike.
