Remember being set free (or, maybe, kicked out of the house) into your backyard, where fallen trees and small brooks became the stuff of wild adventures? At Backyard Adventure, we aim to set your imagination free once again, transported to gripping, narrative worlds throughout the universe.

We also tweak and hack existing RPGs to simplify play and to deepen immersion, so you can focus less on numbers and more on story. Don’t get us wrong, we like a bit of crunch as much as the next designer, but what we really love is when elegant rules lead to transporting storytelling. We hope you’ll enjoy our Backyard. Want to hear from us? Sign up for our email newsletter. If you do, we’ll give you a free copy of our Narrative Chase Rules for 5E as our way of saying thanks, so you can run gripping chase scenes for your players.

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
