Crown - Player Rules

Crown is an easy-to-learn, rules-lite old school fantasy roleplaying game. In a compact sixty pages it contains all the rules you need to set out on perilous adventures, dangerous journeys, and harrowing quests. This is a complete game based off of Whitehack and strongly influenced by games like Maze Rats and Whitebox: Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game. These rules are compatible with other OSR products with only a little conversion. This book contains the first half of the full rulebook and is intended for both the players and the Game Master. The second half, full of tools and advice for the Game Master, can be found in Crown.
