Picking the bones of OSR clean and crushing them underfoot

OSSUARY is a minimal, one-page dungeon delving system. It's been designed with speed and play-by-post in mind — the rules are straightforward, the character sheets are simple, the rolls are handled by the Bone Collector (aka GM).

In this game a Bone Collector guides a group of players through a game of traps, terror and treasure, where creative problem-solving is key.
