What is the Unbound system?
The Unbound system is a custom d20 TTRPG that aims to give players true freedom in the characters that they make.
Who is making the system?
The head developers of the Unbound system are Stephen ‘Drspanky’ Janicki and Austin ‘Lex Vex’ Goluba. They are publishing it themselves through their company, Big Chair Gaming.
When is the system available?
A system play test is currently in open beta. The full system is planned to be released via Kickstarter in the future.
Where do I learn to play?
All the rules available in open beta can be found in our pdf’s and website. In addition, we are working on a set of tutorial videos to teach new players and will be holding one shot events in the future.
How do I join a game?
If you look in the ‘looking for group’ sections, you may be able to find ongoing games looking for players.
Is there an official world?
Yes, the world of Sylva will be available with the full official release.
How many books will there be?
The Core rule set will have four books on release: a player’s guide, a core rulebook, a GM’s guide, and the world of Sylva guide.
Will there be any expansions?
If there is enough interest, we have planned to make splat books that go in depth on various regions of the world. In addition, we hope to be able to release advanced rule sets and adventure paths for the world of Sylva.
What merchandise will be available?
We currently do not have any auxiliary merchandise available. However, with enough interest we will create official minis, dice, GM screens, etc.
How can I support the project?
If you enjoy the system, share it with your friends and help spread the word! If you want to help financially support the system we have a patreon for the project.

How do I become a sponsor?

Isn’t that copyrighted?
While some rules may be similar in nature to other game systems, that is because we are publishing under various open gaming licenses, which allows systems to share some mechanical aspects.
