Greetings RingWalker!

RingWalker (the game) is a GM-optional fantasy RPG built around extreme player agency and consistency. Nobody is blocked from anything, and a baker haggling over bread and a kingdom losing a war both come down to a d20, your Tags, and a Difficulty. The same resolution system at every scale, so you can zoom from personal drama to nation-level conflict without switching rulesets. The setting is a flat disc of a world, currently populated by a multiversal "everyone from every Earth" melting pot, and it's built on emergent consequences rather than a GM steering the plot. Which means the Story Roll produces real outcomes whether you're playing solo, with a scattered Discord group, or a full table.

This has been a passion project for a long time. The world originally came out glorious but completely unplayable, too much scope, too much complexity, so I've spent the better part of a year breaking it into eight parts and formatting the first into something you can actually sit down and run.

This free release is the intro/demo for Book 1a: framework, core engine, economy, crafting, combat, social conflict, and a full magic system are all in here and playable now. The wider setting and the rest of the 8-book series (including 1a and 1b's full releases) are already drafted, just super duper not formatted for release. The art here is mostly placeholder, solo Canva work, not commissioned, but the mechanics are the finished product.

I'd love feedback from people who actually play it. No pressure to donate, having people run it and tell me what they think matters more to me right now than the optional monetization.
