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.

SECOND GOAL DOWN! CAN WE MAKE THE THIRD IN THE FIRST DAY?
2 months ago – Tue, Apr 07, 2026 at 02:44:22 PM

Seems like all boxsets are officially coming with TOMBS OF 1,000 GEAR, the first official module for FLAIL. THANK YOU THANK THANK THANK YOU

Time to move to the third STRETCH GOAL: the GM SCREEN. If we reach the €50 mark, all boxsets will include a cool GM screen containing the basic rules of FLAIL, how to run a hexcrawl, NPC generator, market/gear tables, and more. The current design has artwork by Justin McElroy, but i might actually run a poll later on with alternatives so people can vote. Maybeeeeeee, we commission something based on your suggestions. Someone was saying we should commission a bard playing the infamous Tin Whistle of Spontaneous Combustion, accidentally setting the entire party on fire. Seems legit. We shall see. LET'S GO!


FIRST STRETCH GOAL DOWN! NEXT ONE UP!

We are officially adding the eight Player Reference Booklets to all boxsets. You can check them out in the resources folder. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT

Now, we move on to the second STRETCH GOAL: the first FLAIL official module TOMB OF 1,000 GEARS. It leans into the "puzzle-trap dungeon" trope. A paranoid gnome inventor, Master Gnorbitt, designed his own tomb so that only someone worthy could break it and claim his ultimate prize. Minimal design, very low-prep, a "grab-and-go" sort of experience. I end up always taking about 2-3 hours to play these things anyway, so this is all i need for a good session of play.



WE ARE FUNDED!
