Stoneburner

Brokur Longneck of House Grandrock has passed away and you are his only surviving relative(s).

In his will, Brokur has bequeathed to you the cursed mines of the Long Belt, its dilapidated settlement, and the leadership of House Grandrock.

However, other dwarf houses seek to overthrow you and take control of the valuable minerals hidden deep within those cold tunnels.

To complicate matters further, most of the mines’ galleries are haunted by fire spitting demons from the underworld.

Cleanse. Rebuild. Survive.

Stoneburner is a sci-fantasy solo-friendly demon-hunting community-building tabletop role-playing game. 

Inspired by the new school revolution movement, players take on the role of a group of dwarves who must assume control of a demon haunted mine, along with its accompanying settlement. Settlement which they inherited after the death of their distant relative. The game focuses on the dwarves' journey as they navigate the challenges of their new responsibilities, rebuild a new thriving community, and clear the mine of its fire spitting monsters.

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING...

"I wanted to say that Stoneburner is one of the most fun and approachable takes on the dungeon crawling concept that I have ever played. There is so much room to be inventive and original in a game that still has mechanical bite."
- James D'Amato - https://twitter.com | One Shot Podcast

"Merging Deep Rock Galactic, DOOM and The Expanse, Stoneburner is a crowdfunding campaign from Fari RPGs to create that I feel might be the most wholesome horror game I know of."
- Andrew Girdwood - https://www.geeknative.com/

"The impressions I had of this game in no way prepared me for what I was walking into. I knew I could look forward to tight design and good layout, but this game came with so much more. At a proposed 69 pages when complete, it’s looking like a solid game that offers a unique science-fantasy gaming experience. Do I think it’s going to be good? Yes. Am I going to support it? Yes. Absolutely."
- Graeme Barber - https://pocgamer.com"

"It’s weird to feel like a proud uncle about a game system, but seeing Breathless grow from humble beginnings into the robust RPG Stoneburner is shaping up to be, I can’t help but swell with pride. Reading this alpha copy of Stoneburner was a genuine delight. I’ve been a fan of Fari RPGs since the original Breathless launched, and the difference a year makes has been absolutely staggering. If you want an easy system with great potential for complexity, if you want to tell stories about making your way in the universe by fighting demons and striking it rich, you’re going to want to watch this space. "

"Are you a fan of fantasy and/or Sci-fi? Well, the cool thing about Stoneburner is it combines both into a single setting. You play a Dwarf, and you may come across a wandering Elf or a Human trader. Do you like base-building games? Stoneburner has rules for creating a base, expanding it, and gaining benefits from it. The more time you spend constructing your settlement, the more benefits you'll receive from it. Do you like games where you get to explore as you go? Stoneburner is all about exploring and discovering as you go. What will be in this abandoned facility or those Asteroids? You'll have to go in there to find out. Maybe you'll find riches. Maybe you'll find ancient artifacts with great power. Do you like highly thematic games with a well-built Universe to play in? Stoneburner has a great feel and theme to it, built-in mythologies, and really great character classes. Stoneburner is an excellent blending of hard-sci-fi and fantasy. In this #solorpg friendly #TTRPG you play as a Dwarf hunting through abandoned asteroids looking for riches."
