Introducing: Karst - Minimalist Edition

From the archives of the Karst Archipelago Historical Society comes a minimalist introduction to the world of Karst, a classically inspired tabletop role playing game with an emphasis on discovery, storytelling, and the softer side of horror.

Karst’s mechanics draw from a familiar base, but eschew the concept of character classes in favor of Knacks, a simple and flexible system of character customization.

Set in a haunted and seemingly forgotten archipelago, the island-hopping world of Karst is home to six distinct species of folk, four types of magic, a strange cosmology, and all sorts of dark secrets.

Taking an already streamlined ruleset and reducing it to its most basic elements, this Minimalist Edition is the perfect way to get started with Karst and create stories with your friends.

We hope you enjoy.

PS. Stay tuned for setting books, adventure modules, and a more expansive set of rules with new knacks, spells, and idea generators.
