What Is Pulp Arcana? The Starter Set
Pulp Arcana is a game about slaying monsters, besieging castles, slinging spells, and realizing your favorite fantasy adventures. You have the tools to build the hero of your dreams and engage in tactical, kinetic action without sacrificing aesthetics or storytelling. This is 5e-compatible action fantasy that harmonizes rewarding combat mechanics with contemporary narrative. We believe that multifaceted game mechanics should not come at the cost of flavor, style, or story.

I published Pulp Arcana, my 5e-compatible TTRPG with a tiny independent team :)
We want satisfying combat mechanics that encourage theme instead of discouraging it or being neutral to it. This is technically a product but it's PWYW for at least two weeks!
