Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG: Core Rulebook

Print Wave 2 Estimated to fulfill Q1 2026!

Vagabond is a tabletop roleplaying game built off the foundations of DnD B/X, Pathfinder, Dragonbane, Errant, Knave, Cairn, Into the Odd, Shadowdark, Shadow of the Demon Lord, and other OSR-style games. It was designed as a hybrid of Modern Character Expression and Old School fast play and rulings over rules philosophies, giving you trillions of character creation possibilities while still being compatible with B/X-derivative monsters and adventures. It plays extremely well with classic TSR adventure modules, Old School Essentials adventures, and system neutral content.

It supports Solo, Co-Op, and Guided play formats, and was designed to be the "system that runs itself." GMs will see a massive release of mental load and responsibility behind the screen, as the over 200 statblocks include an "Action Gambit" that describes what they do during combat.

While character levels are expected to remain in the 1st to 10th Level range, players can potentially level infinitely as all Classes are designed to continue improving even when the class stops granting features. It also brings a brand new magic system that allows for trillions of potential Spell casting augmentations, making Mages feel more flexibility than in traditional Vancian magic systems.

"Taron is an expert in this field, and it shows with Vagabond. He's combined smart design from every corner of the TTRPG space to create a stylish game that is both familiar and novel. Having playtested Vagabond myself, I'm happy to say it lives up to the promises of pulp fantasy!" - Bob World Builder

"Vagabond is the roll-over system I've been longing for! Taron has merged the thrill of the old-school with the practicalities of modern TTRPGs seamlessly. If you like your games with extra Pulp, Vagabond is your juice." - Deficient Master

"Vagabond may just be my new favorite RPG. A relative newcomer in my library, this game takes what I love from so many fantasy RPGs and puts them in one tight, easy to access package. Setting agnostic and the possibilities for player expression are wild. Includes great rules for solo and co-op play." - ImmersiveDiversions

"After playtesting the system, Vagabond is exactly what I look for in a TTRPG. I was able to learn it in under an hour, creating characters feels pleasantly flexible, and the system's flexible nature allows me to create games in any setting I desire!" - TheHypeGoblin

"It's fun, fast-paced action with rules that work with your imagination, not against it!" - Zipperon Disney
