What is it about?
Knave 1e runs old-school fantasy adventures with quickly created characters. Any adventurer can use weapons or spellbooks, making inventory central to their capabilities. The toolkit supports existing OSR adventures, monsters and magic with minimal conversion and includes designer commentary to help groups build their own modifications.

At the table
Actions use d20 rolls and six abilities. Choosing equipment changes a character’s role, combining exploration, combat and spellcasting without assigning a fixed character class.
