FLAIL: an old-school fantasy brawler

Created by Games Omnivorous

FLAIL is an old-school, fantasy RPG where spells act up, weapons fall apart, and characters survive mostly through nerve and sheer luck. Designed for people who like single-session dungeons and short campaigns of 10~15 sessions. Low-prep, max play.

LAST 24 HOURS! NEW PATREON DROP!

LAST 24 HOURS!

We are almost at the end of the campaign. What ride this has been. Thank you again for all the love and support. We are 900% funded, more than 1500 backers in, all stretch goals unlocked (except the last one!) and the community is already creating tons of new content for the game at the Discord Server and the Swings Hard With FLAIL game jam at itch. THANK YOU!


NEW PATREON DROP!

I have just released a new released a new FLAIL module through the Patreon (number #06): Cult of the Mutant Mutton. Something went horribly wrong, no one remembers what happen exactly, but a sheep was mutated into a grotesque-two-headed-too-many-eyes sort of thing. The villagers threw it into the well, but then they started to kinda grow fond it. Over time, fear twisted into reverence and a strange sheep cult was formed.

Like all others, this is a grab-and-go module. Requires almost zero prep. Use it if you need an odd cult for some reason, or if you feel like fleshing out a random village your players pass through, or if you just wanna play a fun one-shot.

Also, the maps on this one are by the legend himself, Skullfungus !

TAKE A PEEK AT THE TINKERER CLASS FOR FLAIL!

"If it sparks, whirs, or explodes, it’s probably working."



ALSO, VTT UNLOCKED AND LAST STRETCH GOAL!

You have done it. With your support, we can officially hire a developer to make a full Foundry VTT implementation. Thank you! THANKKKK YOU Let's move on the last Stretch Goal: an online dungeon generator tool. As you know, we already have a couple of online tools: the item card studio and the hexcrawl toolbox app. If we hit the €150k mark in these last 3 days, we will add a new dungeon generator tool in there. The tool will make use of the tables in the rulebook so that you can quickly generate a dungeon, wizard tower or cave. Maybe i'll even expand those tables to add more variety. Dunno, let's see how well this goes. Can we make it happen?!

TAKE A PEEK AT THE WARRIOR CLASS FOR FLAIL!

"In FLAIL, Warriors choose from different combat trees, specialising in certain weapons. Or maybe even in no weapons at all, if they follow the martial artist path."



JOIN THE DISCORD!

There's a growing community of FLAIL gamers, GMs and third-party creators emerging on our Discord Server. I wanna publicly thank everyone who has joined already and taken part in awesome debates to clarify certain rules of the game, or to offer suggestions on how to improve it, or to share game reports, or to contribute with new content, etc etc etc. We even have a game room where people are actively playing, plus a Dice Bot now. Join the server and make a To Hit roll to see if you land a Death Blow :D




ALSO, THE GAME JAM!

Don't forget SWINGS HARD WITH FLAIL JAM is live on itch right now. There are already some very cool entries/submissions which you can totally download and check out. The game jam runs until the end this campaign so you still have time to submit content if you wish. Check out our third-party license if you need further details on how to make your own content.
