Discover an easy-to-learn, fast-paced & insect-filled TTRPG

Worm your way into Gundracil, a fantastical world in which tiny bugs can become big legends. The simplicity and accesibility of Gundracil are the major reasons it is perfect to introduce new people to the TTRPG genre. However, the game allows experienced players to get a lot out of it as well, with quick combat and innovative systems that allow for great synergies when creating your adventurous critter.

A developing, buggy world in constant motion

Gundracil is a passion project which I wrote – and am still writing – as a father, teacher and (forever-) DM. My love for storytelling and game development came together in these pages full of creepy, crawling rules and ideas.

While our first edition is online, we (the boys at my table and me) are still play testing, balancing and rewriting the core rulebook. A final version is coming soon. Therefore, we are looking for people to pick up the free rules and play-test the buggers out of it. All feedback is welcome.

While Gundracil is an easy game to pick up, the system can create surprising depths. All species have special abilities, while players can earn Talents to make their heroic bug unique. There are no classes in Gundracil, but the aforementioned systems make characters truly unique, while the focus is on story progression and having a blast with friends.

The rules are free to download, while the print version is paid – which supports the making of a definitive edition. It is also possible to donate to our project. We aim to use all our donations and profit to hire artists to give Gundracil a unique, fitting art style. In the future, we also aim to create adventure books fit for the world of Gundracil.
