GOLEM 1.0 Released

GOLEM
A downloadable Roleplaying Game

Hello all!

I am starting off the 2023 by completing a major overhaul of GOLEM and releasing version 1.0! It is still the same game, but with a few major changes:

  • 5 new calamities for your games (the original version only included 2)!
  • Strives have been streamlined by removing the final check of success and failure at the end.
  • Time is now a resource and is tracked using a pie chart-like system in which you fill in segments.
  • Simplified the travel mechanism by removing the need for a strive and tied it to the new time resource.
  • Included an example of play and example golem and region sheets to support learning the game.
  • There is a job system to provide opportunities to go on side quests and acquire resources such as gemstones.
  • Removed towers and crypts as hex types.
  • Created a new player sheet to help track the region.
  • Reworked the Yes/No oracle to provide more surprises and twists.
  • Reworded multiple sections of the book for clarity and brevity.

POD versions will be available from DrivethruRPG in a few weeks.

Purchase GOLEM at Itch.io or DrivethruRPG.

Happy Gaming!
