THE WORKSHOP
Projects taking shape inside the Keep.
Wayward Keep Studios is being built one project at a time. Some projects are approaching the table, while others are still little more than notes, questions, and dangerous possibilities. This page is the record of what we are making and where each project currently stands.
IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
They Might Be Heroes
They Might Be Heroes is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game about ordinary people who survive difficult circumstances, make consequential choices, and sometimes become the heroes their world needs.
The game uses a stacked-dice system that keeps the familiar twenty-sided die while allowing a character’s strengths and weaknesses to change the way each roll feels. Its rules are designed to support fast resolution, flexible characters, dangerous situations, and stories shaped by what players choose to do.
PROJECT THEMES
- Ordinary people becoming heroes
- Choices that change the story
- Fast, approachable rules
- Flexible character creation
- Play that rewards courage, compassion, curiosity, creativity, and legacy
They Might Be Heroes is currently being written, revised, and tested. The immediate goal is a clean, playable core game supported by introductory material that teaches both players and Trouble Makers how to bring it to the table.
OPEN TABLE
Help us discover what happens next.
Good games are not finished in isolation. They are tested by people who make unexpected choices, ask difficult questions, and find possibilities the designer never considered.
BEYOND THE WALLS
More paths will open.
Future Wayward Keep projects may include original adventures, facilitator resources, material for other roleplaying systems, and an expanded edition of They Might Be Heroes. These projects will be announced when they are ready to move beyond the idea stage.
