Nimble

Overview

Nimble is a fast, tactical (and 5e compatible), TTRPG. Your game nights are too precious to waste with slow or fiddly rules! Slay the slog using the best elements from the greatest RPGs around. Nimble empowers players and GMs with more interesting choices, less waiting around, and have more fun playing epic stories Description Nimble RPG is designed to prioritize speed, tactical decision-making, and reduced administrative tracking for both players and Game Masters. The system condenses character sheets and streamlines the action economy to prevent long waiting periods between player turns. Its primary design philosophy centers on accelerating combat encounters without sacrificing strategic depth, utilizing highly lethal weapon mechanics and dynamic monster behaviors. The game is offered both as a complete standalone system and as a modular "rules hack" booklet that can be integrated directly into an ongoing

campaign. System Overview & Key Features
Fast Combat Don’t waste your time rolling to see if you can deal damage, just roll your damage dice! You deal that much damage. Attacks miss on a 1, but rolling the maximum is an EXPLODING Critical Hit!
Exploding critical hits Roll the die again and add it to the total. There is no limit to how many times this damage can stack, except your luck!
Instant Initiative Get RIGHT into combat with Improved Initiative rules that get players immediately into combat in a way that serves the story without breaking up the flow.
Quick to prep Nimble is quick to prep and easy to run. You've got enough going on while GMing—Mechanics are all designed to be easy to manage and track at the table. You can be ready to run an adventure in as little as 5 minutes! And there's no need to for new players to read though endless pages of rules, teach new players as you play.
Easy to balance Easy Encounter Creation. No matter the size of your party—whether you play in a cozy group with just 1 or 2 heroes, or a huge group of 8 or more—Encounters are easy and intuitive to build and balance for just the right level of challenge you like. Craft massive scale combat encounters, down to legendary solo encounters.
Strategic Weapon System A subtly DEEP weapon system that rewards thoughtful play. No more, “I guess I’ll pick the bigger one...” Every weapon is balanced to have interesting strengths & weaknesses in combat.

Homebrew Homebrew
A fractured kingdom. A hidden lineage. A legacy of fire. Aethelgard, a kingdom on the brink of collapse. The King has passed and leaves behind a dangerous power vacuum filled by a grieving queen trying to protect their inexperienced child-prince son. A council of corrupt nobles circles like vultures, using blackmail and political gridlock to strip every bit of power they can from the boy. With the capital is consumed by this internal struggle, the outer military outposts and militia have been completely abandoned, cut off from all funding and reinforcements. The consequences are grim. A highly organized bandit syndicate has formed, taking control of all the southern trade routes, making travel extremely dangerous. Worse, formerly isolated gnoll tribes have begun to unify into a single massive warband. Their raids wipe out increasing amounts of outlying homesteads every day they go uncontested. Surrounded on all sides and abandoned by their rulers, the commonfolk are on the verge of open rebellion. Amidst this chaos, your party have managed to land one of the few paid contracts left in the realm: a job to hunt down this warband leader and stop the slaughter. However, what starts as a simple monster hunt will quickly pull you into something much darker, as you uncover a dangerous political plot underlying the entire crisis. Day and time: Saturdays at 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM CDT Starting June 13th Frequency: Weekly Platform: Owlbear Rodeo + Discord for Voice Theme: Heroic adventurers uncovering political plots, exploring lost lineages and fighting against corruption. Tone: Serious/Grounded. Joke/Meme/lolsorandom characters will not be welcome. House Rules: Several House Rules will be in effect. Documentation will be provided. Common Ancestries only. Balanced Stat Array. Slower Skill Progression. Looking for 3-4 players! Nimble/TTRPG Newbies are welcome! The system is new for many folks, patience is appreciated.

The Toll-Master's Crypt

Homebrew Homebrew
Combat focused Combat focused
Online Using Discord and Foundry. Game is 7PM PST on Sunday April 12th I backed the new Kickstarter and I'm eager to give Nimble a try. I have run 300+ hours on R20 but Foundry has the Nimble module so I'll be trying that for the first time as well. Characters will start at lvl 3. I anticipate the game will run 3-4 hours, but I havent played nimble before so it might be faster or slower than expected. The Toll-Master's Crypt A one-shot adventure for 3-5 players, set in the world of Aenothis. The goddess Nysira is dead. You were in Bellmere when it happened. The blessed around you dropped where they stood, no warning and no explanation. That was this morning. By afternoon, the refugees started arriving from the east. They say Eryx's army has taken Elyndral. The capital has fallen along with its god. The army marches west, and in two days it reaches Bellmere. The Adventurers Guild is swamped. The portal network is overwhelmed. Not everyone will escape in time. Half the city is in the streets devolving more and more into a mob by the minute. The people you care about are looking to you, and there is nowhere safe to take them. Except one possibility. An old crypt to the northwest, a contract nobody touched because the war felt more urgent. Something in there is raising the dead and poisoning the surrounding forest. Clear it, and there's shelter. The war just arrived at your doorstep. The crypt won't clear itself.

Ray
Hi, I'm Ray! I'm a 29 year old gay trans guy who loves tabletops. I've been in the scene for a little under 10 years (will be 10 this fall) and most of my experience is in DMing in the Numenera setting of the Cypher System, so I am looking to expand my horizons as a player in your group! Broad strokes: I aim to be cool to talk to and interact with, I pride myself on taking high-qulity notes, and I relish the character creation process. I like to think deeply about character decisions, and am most comfortable in a group with a maximum of 3 or 4 players. The Meat of Things Experience: I've been in the ttrpg scene for 10-ish years, but I do not have a ton of experience as a player. To that end, I'm mainly looking to join a game in a system I've never played so I can get the full newbie experience. You won't need to worry about my table ettiquette or basic rules knowledge, just whether I actually read an ability correctly the first few times I use it. Playstyle: I am a roleplayer at heart, and I take character decisions very seriously. I may need a few minutes to mull over what my character may do in any given situation, and I may need information to be restated there is a lot of exposition, but I do understand the need for brevity with others at the table. I love a well thought out combat sequence and I am not opposed to entire sessions being devoted to combat. My main ask is that the campaign cater to my character's arc in some way, I'm not the kind of guy who can make a throw-away character for a campaign that is more focused on a pre-determined path (never personally been a huge fan of modules, for example). Reservations / Preferences: Being almost 30, I prefer games with people around my own age. My comfortable range is anywhere from 25 - 40, with room to wiggle on either side. I won't play at a table that allows hateful language (racism, misogyny, transmisogyny, and transphobia to name a few of the big ones, but this list is not exhaustive), nor will I play at a table that considers itself "neutral ground" regarding human rights conversations. I prefer deeply nuanced and informed conversation around societal issues and suffering, both in-game and in real life. Logistics: I live in SE Michigan, EST, and prefer local games, but I am no stranger to online adventures. If you're in the Detroit Metro area, that works best for me! In Conclusion If you think I'd make a good addition to your party, drop me a line! I'm excited to play and I hope to hear from you soon!

Frau_Elster
Hi there! I'm Frau Elster, 33, located in Hanover, Germany.  I have been playing TTRPGs for roughly a year now. It became quite an hyperfixation and thanks to a local open club I've gotten the chance to test some systems and get an idea of what I enjoy in this game. Ideally, of course, the group vibes and gets along. That's a wish of mine but of course can't be forced. I tend to enjoy smaller groups up to 4, sometimes 5, on a bi-weekly schedule in the evening. I love creating complex characters with a few defining moments already having happened to them to help flesh them out. It didn't happen yet but I'd love to experience what it's like to have a ongoing campaign that weaves in the characters' backgrounds. Usually I have a concept in mind before I create a character and then read through _a lot_ of materials and sources to find the build and world-related backgrounds that fit. For example: I am in the midst of creating a tabaxi stardruid whose base idea was that she looks like a black jaguar and has the constellations map right there in the spots of her fur. Or I knew I wanted a gnome raised by ice giants who draws her magic from the aurora and can hit really hard and now I have several tabs open haha I enjoy good atmospheric horror and am actually thinking about hosting The Magnus Archive TTRPG. But that's a project for the future.  Coming from a theatre background I love roleplay and the chaotic rule of cool being applied more than dungeon crawling, rule crunching and min/max-ing. Social encounters and exploration are big to me. Do you know that one friend who needs to check every question mark in a video game? Yeah that's me (and is also a reason why I love Breath of the Wild. Exploring was very much rewarded in this game.) As a GM I love putting in puzzles but that is always a hit or miss with me as a player. In general I would say I am a bit of a chaotic player who enjoys discussing and brainstorming with the others.

Do you love Eberron, or maybe you've just recently heard of the setting with the release of Eberron: Forge of Artificer? What if I told you there's a whole community of players and DMs that have been around for half a decade, running multiple adventures and connecting unique characters and yes even making memes just a link away? That's right! Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn is a server in discord where we run D&D games! Not only seamlessly combining 5e and OneDnD content, but adding popular Eberron 3rd party content such as Exploring Eberron and other Keith Baker products to our player options. All while DMs bounce ideas and look into popular 3rd party sources like Duran's Guide to the Blood of Vol and the Giant's Guide to Xen'drik for even more stories to unfold! We have Sharn as our main hub, so even when you're not engaging into quests you can roleplay with a vast community and bring your own stories into the mix. With special encounters avaliable so you can fight crime in the streets of Callestan or help patrol King's Forest against the nefarious Jungle Boys! We're also actively seeking special events as the Eberron we've expanded on together continues to flourish. Including the implementation of holiday events providing special challenges and opportunities. Discord server - Eberron: Legends of the 5th Dawn
