Skellies version 0.97.75 is now available!

Grab the latest version here!

Hey everyone!

If you didn't know, I'm working on another silly TTRPG called Skellies! Play as the skeletal thrall of a lich! Heads up: all liches are weirdos. You get to match their freak.

Here are some elevator pitches. First, imagine we're in an elevator.

  • Imagine OSR but with Bennie Hill playing in the background

  • Play as a skeleton with a serious Notice-Me-Senpai complex

  • You have two stats, Bones and Brains, and you lose limbs when hit

  • A pick-up-and play d6 game with no stakes and rules in under 10 pages

  • Unclog a dungeon toilet by consoling a depressed sewer system

I love this game. I love getting to work on it in my "off" time. I love reading your feedback. I really hope you continue to enjoy it and submit your experiences and bug reports. You get your name added to the credits when you do!

Psst! I also got some awesome dice samples in for the eventual Kickstarter!

All downloads are updated with this release, so make sure to grab 'em at playskellies.com! You can see the (generalized) changelog in the included image!

Have fun, and keep on adventuring!

Those dice look amazing! I suggested Skellies to my BitD GM who wanted a quick and silly oneshot and they thought it looked great, so I'll finally get to playtest this soon.
