UMBRA is a Table Top Role Playing Game in which you delve into a world of bug Knights! It features the quick and snappy combat of the LUMEN system. UMBRA is part of the Lux Collective.

Under and within a grand oak tree lays a sprawling metropolis known as the Cradle. Making their lives under the watchful rule of the Ashen King, are the bugs of the Cradle. Every bug has a part to play, big or small, in the kingdom. For you, oh noble Knights, your part is that of protector.

This release is the 0.3 Edition. What that means is it has been unprofessionally edited, and is considered mostly complete. Nearly all of the art for the book has been completed. We're only waiting on the map, which is one of the Itchfunding goals, along with professional editing.

The map art commission is $250. The professional edit work will cost $830


Coming soon will be a phone friendly portrait layout, for now the Plain Text version is recommended for phone viewing.

Coming at a later date I intend to  do a voice over of the entire rule book for those that may prefer such a thing.

I do not regularly use a screen reader, so please please let me know if the plain text version is incomprehensible to a screen reader. I'll do everything I can to fix it.

(Update): Decluttered the character sheets a little.

THE DARK SOULS OF HOLLOW KNIGHT INSPIRED TABLETOP ROLEPLAYING SYSTEMS

!!!

(+1)

I'm just starting to discover the LUMEN system and its offspring, and OF COURSE I'm hyped for a Hollow Knight RPG !
I've just read it, and it looks great ! Can't wait to test it with my friends !

I was wondering if there was a chance of seeing Pregen Knights, for one-shots or help discover the game ?

(+1)

I have some thoughts for pre-gen characters, but I'm curious to hear any thoughts/desires you might have. No pressure to do so, but if you would like, you can email me at stellaris.arcturus.games@gmail.com.
