Forge the Game You Want to Play
Forgemasters RPG is an indie tabletop role-playing game designed to give players the freedom to shape their own epic fantasy adventures. Whether you’re a newcomer exploring the world of RPGs for the first time or a seasoned veteran looking for a system that balances flexibility and depth, Forgemasters RPG has something for you.
Our game offers a skill-based system that uses a dice pool mechanic to resolve actions and role-playing choices. The rules are designed to be adaptable, streamlined for those who prefer a more LITE experience and detailed enough for those who crave rich mechanics and in-depth gameplay.
Join the Adventure
Forgemasters RPG is currently in Alpha Playtesting, and we are actively refining the system. As development continues, this site will be updated with new content, mechanics, and ways for you to get involved.
The anvil of gaming awaits. Grab your hammer, we’ll give you the key to the forge.
Only there can you truly…
