Excellent work as always. Love the personality in each of these archetypes!

Hi there! Sunder was one of those rules left for Referee interpretation and discretion. Personally, I most often treat a Sunder attempt just like an Attack, except it’s targeting an enemy weapon or piece of armor instead of their vitals. You can assign hit points to weapons/armor based on their Load or your judgment—or just do what I do and have a successful Sunder automatically destroy the target weapon/armor on hit. 

Under this interpretation, a Duelist who has taken the Advantage: Sunder feat automatically has advantage on the Sunder attempt, barring other circumstances that might grant them disadvantage.

Thanks for asking! 

Sojourn hasn’t been distributed under a license yet, though it likely will be in the future. I firmly believe that game rules and mechanics are not intellectual property. Folks are free to take rules or mechanics from Sojourn and use or remix them in any way they please (though a shout-out is always appreciated).

If another game designer wants to borrow direct text from Sojourn, I would just ask that they quote and cite as they would any other book. Anyone is welcome to advertise their games as “Sojourn Compatible” so long as they do not indicate the game is published or endorsed by me or Sojourn RPG Publishing. 

As for sharing, I encourage players who need extra Sojourn copies but can’t afford them to download free Community Copies from here on itch.io. It’s helpful to be able to keep track of download numbers this way, so I do appreciate it when people grab whatever extra PDFs they need here instead of elsewhere. 

A hyperlinked version of the level 1 starter rules is also freely available at sojournrpg.net. The advanced rules and full spell list will eventually be added there as well.

After years of designing and running adventures, I’m psyched to announce the launch of my tabletop roleplaying game SOJOURN! It’s available right now in premium print on Lulu and in digital edition right here on itch: https://calebwimble.itch.io/sojourn

SOJOURN is a game of exploration, danger, and discovery. 2-6 players delve into dark dungeons and fantastical lands. Together they seek magic artifacts shrouded in mystery—and guarded by otherworldly monsters. Sojourn is easy to learn, a blast to master, and rewards creativity at the table from players of all ages.

In addition to tools for creating your own adventures, Sojourn includes the exciting introductory adventure REBEL’S RESCUE. Gather your heist crew of warriors, rogues, mages, and zealots, then prepare to infiltrate the bizarre Manor Cambio and break the young rebel imprisoned there out of deadly imperial dungeons. 

Sojourn might be for you if…

- You want to explore a rich fantasy world and overcome mythic challenges.

- You’re curious about RPGs but never knew where to start.

- You’re a long-time fan of dungeon-crawlers looking for something elegant, streamlined, and full of exciting new mechanics to bring to your table.
