A GM-less RPG for 1-4 players by Candlenaut
Part of DriveThruRPG’s fourth-annual game jam! PocketQuest 2025 Theme is Dreams & Nightmares! PocketQuest 2025 submissions are at most 25 pages (including covers) and act as standalone games.
From the creator of the bestselling games ENTITY, KUROI, CAMPFIRE STORY, and STORYTELLERS comes a new GM-less, roguelike, diceless dungeon-crawling RPG for 1–4 players: BRIGHTBORNE.
Set in a richly detailed, lore-packed grimdark world, all you need to play is the rulebook, a pencil, and a deck of classic blackjack cards.
Featuring tactical grid-based combat and easy-to-learn rules, it’s perfect for both newcomers to dungeon crawlers and seasoned veterans alike. It also contain a structural loop to keep your story focused as you have seen and love n Entity title.
And last but not least a very unique Monster builder so no Hunt will ever be the same.
PS: You can setup the game, including Character creation in a minute or two.
Brightborne is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
