Designed For People Having Fun
It should not take hundreds of dollars of materials, hours of pre-reading, and subscription fees to have fun telling collaborative stories. Proscenium is built to take minutes to learn without feeling restrictive.
Some Good Points
Health Points, Energy Points, and Story Points. These three systems comprise your Character Stats.
Health Points keep you up and at 'em. Energy Points let you use powerful abilities. Story Points grow your character and nab you powerful gear.
Flex Your Talents
Proscenium features six Talents which represent your strengths and capabilities.
Hone your Muscle, leverage your Focus, test your Knowledge, trust in your Cunning, bring out your Charm, or empower your Spark.
Roll for Clarity
In Proscenium you only ever roll D20s.
Your expertise in a Talent determines how many dice to roll, with outcomes determined by the highest result.
Success or failure is determined by the Challenge of the task. Attempting challenges above your station may cause some complications!
Classless Customization
Proscenium does not have character classes. Instead, it boasts deep character customization through skill trees called Methods.
Spend Story Points to unlock new Actions, Cues, Traits, and Maneuvers to create a character that is truly your own.
Sweat the Right Stuff
Proscenium does not require players to manage large inventories of mundane items, myriad currencies, or food rations. Fiction drives the state of the moment, while important gear like legendary weapons or ancient relics stay at top of mind.
