ClanCraft is an open-source tabletop RPG that combines survival mechanics, village building, and tactical clan warfare. It’s inspired by the creativity and resourcefulness of games like Minecraft, but with its own unique twist: clan dynamics and strategic battles. Players take on the role of clan leaders, working to gather resources, build thriving settlements, and lead their champions in battles for territory and dominance.

The game is free forever under the Creative Commons BY 4.0 license, meaning anyone can modify, share, or adapt it, as long as credit is given. ClanCraft is designed to evolve with the community, and this is where you come in.

What Do I Want to Achieve?

ClanCraft is a labor of love, but it’s also a work in progress. Right now, the foundation is solid: the mechanics for survival, resource management, and basic clan warfare are in place. However, I want to refine and expand the Clan War system to make it truly special without turning it into a complex management sim or an entirely separate “game within the game.”

Here’s what I’m struggling with:

• Clan Wars: The current system works, but it feels like something is missing. It needs that extra spark to make it more engaging without overwhelming players.
• Maps and Clan Placement: We need to create clear guidelines for how to design the game map and position the clans, whether player-controlled or managed by the GM.
• Balancing Simplicity and Depth: I want the clan warfare system to feel meaningful and tactical without overloading players with complexity.

Why Your Collaboration Matters

ClanCraft is open-source because I believe great ideas come from collaboration. Whether you’re a game designer, storyteller, artist, or just an RPG enthusiast, your input can make this game better. If you’d like to contribute—whether it’s refining the mechanics, designing maps, adding lore, or even improving the documentation—you’re more than welcome.

If you’re interested, feel free to reach out or request access to edit the Word document. Every idea, big or small, helps us make ClanCraft something truly special.
