Community Highlight - Skellies from The Griffon's Saddlebag (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to let you know about a new project from my buddy Griff (better known as the creator of The Griffon's Saddlebag) - Skellies!

What is Skellies?

Skellies lets you play as the silly, expendable dungeon dwellers we all know and love to destroy. Earn your lich’s appreciation by making their immortality bearable: crochet them a little hat, organize their journals by century, or crush anyone who dares to intrude on your beautiful undead lair! It’s intentionally easy to learn—the rules fit inside the back cover—but carefully designed with mechanics that are fun to use and fun to break. It uses d6s, two stats (Bones and Brains), and fail-upwards game design to inspire bigger and “brighter” ideas.

This isn’t a heroic fantasy RPG, but a goofier anti-heroic one! Use it as a pallet cleanser or go-to alternative on game nights: there are no stakes, and any risk you take will only lead to an equally funny outcome.

The game is free: you can read and play 100% of it without spending a cent at playskellies.com.

You only need d6s to play.

It’s a mixture of OSR vibes meets office comedy with Benny Hill playing in the background.

Purposefully designed to be learned in minutes and played on a whim when a player calls out of game night.

Perfect to use as a comedic break from heroic fantasy and explore (with levity) what happens to fallen heroes or NPCs centuries later. Great for TPK’ed parties or slain NPCs!

Skellies can be played completely free, but if you want to check out Griff's Start Playing kit, head over to the Backerkit page HERE
