Designed For People Having Fun
Proscenium is in active development by Endeavorance, who has a lifetime of game design and app development experience. Combined with a passion for storytelling, gaming, and community, the system of Proscenium follows principles of approachability, inclusivity, and flexibility.
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.
Roll for Clarity
In Proscenium you only ever roll one, two, or three D20s.
Your expertise in a Talent determines how many dice to roll, with outcomes determined by the highest result.
A range of outcomes may occur, from Mishaps to Miracles.
Classless Customization
Proscenium does not have character classes. Instead, it boasts deep character customization through skill trees called Methods.
Spend Experience Points to unlock new Actions, Traits, and Cues to create a character that is truly your own.
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.
Endless Loot
Gear in Proscenium uses a slot and tag system to create endless possibilities and empower you to make the perfect kit for your character.
Items have "Slots" which may hold modifiers called "Tags". These can Tags can be replaced using items and abilities to customize your gear as much as you like.
Your rakish swashbuckler may not have the raw strength to best a brute, but your sword may have the Subtle tag, allowing you to use your Cunning talent to make attack rolls rather than Muscle.
