Oroborus is a new multi-genre roleplaying game. It is designed to be highly adaptible and emphasizes character development and imaginative roleplaying in any setting.

Oroborus is based around the idea that you don't need a lot of complex rules to create a powerful and detailed roleplaying system. A few simple, flexible mechanics cover a multiverse of possibilities.

Characters are developed through descriptive point allocation and an adaptive skill system that lets players have exactly the characters they want, tailored to the setting in which they are playing. All skills, including combat are resolved using a simple, universal system which handles comparative and qualitative skills with elegance. Oroborus offers rules which are simple enough for beginners, but with depth and flexibility for experienced players.

One of the unique aspects of Oroborus is that the printed version will be in a very convenient 3.5x5 inch format which will fit in your pocket. This fall we'll be preceeding the release of the rulebook with the release of a series of Oroborus Adventure Packs, which are sets of specially designed character cards which include all the information you need to run a short adventure for 3-5 players without a gamemaster.

This site is still under development. We will be adding a number of features in the next few months as we lead up to the print release of Oroborus. Now that word about the game is starting to get around we're getting a lot of interest in background material and adaptations to existing campaigns. If you're interested in this sort of thing, let us know.
