Vigilant takes place within a vast and ineffable congregation of planes forged by gods long lost to legend. For mortals it is a time of potential and discovery, as new kingdoms are built and mighty treasures of the ancient past are uncovered from the tombs of vanquished gods and kings. Forgotten worlds lay wild and unbound, teeming with unknowable relics guarded by dread horrors of ages long past. Old gods seek to reclaim their dominion through the favour of mortals as new gods rise to challenge the broken order of their predecessors, igniting chaos and death as they struggle for glory amidst the dying planes.

You are an adventurer in this realm, or of such skill to be considered one. Although your power is little compared to the great forces that inhabit the vast planes, you have been born into a time where even those with the faintest wisp of might may rise to greatness.

What Is It? 

Vigilant is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game that takes design inspiration from OSR and then pushes its boundaries to the absolute limits with an incredibly deep combat system that truly rewards player-skill by providing hundreds of shifting tactical options on a round-by-round basis. 

• Are you the kind of psycho who wants a horrendously deadly OSR-style game but with modern rules scaffolding and deep tactical combat?
•  Do you want all your rules contained within a super tight system with FEWER attributes and derived stats than classic D&D that still provides hundreds of different action-combinations that shift on a round-by-round basis?
• Do you like modular levelling with dozens of options at each level and literally millions of possible character builds?

 Well then this game is for you. 

And if you're the kind of person who read all that and is terrified but your friends have pressured you into checking this out, be assured that despite all that the game is pretty easy to pick up.

This project is fully playable in its current state with all player-facing rules finalized and all the important GM-facing rules available. Chapters containing extra rules, more charts and tables, more tools for GMs, new progression trees, and more details on goblin mating habits are in the pipeline. Check the devlog for more details.
