Hackenslash is a tabletop role-playing game. It is a game of imagination, dice and danger, where players take on the roles of characters in a world filled with peril, mystery, and opportunity. Hackenslash isn’t just another dungeon crawling RPG - it’s a fast, flexible, and flavor-rich system using streamlined mechanics to keep things moving. The goal is always to support storytelling, not stifle it. This game is designed to support your world, your rules, and your chaos.

   Set in the ancient, crumbling world of Irth, Hackenslash blends epic high fantasy, gritty sword-and-sorcery, and post apocalyptic science fiction with bizarre modern mythos.

   Characters in Hackenslash are defined by Class, but never trapped by it. With countless Skills available, you can shape your character any way you choose. You might become a grenade throwing Chaplain. You could call storms as a Sorcerer or whisper curses as a Hag. You may be a lone Goblin Scorpion Monk wandering the wasteland, or an archaeologist Bard Politician running for mayor. - Want to be a blacksmith berserker or a lockpicking necromancer fisherman? - You can. The path is yours to hack and slash.

   In between battles and quests, Hackenslash lets you build a life:
   - Craft gear
   - Raise beasts
   - Build your home
   - Run for local office
   - Marry a sentient mushroom

   In short, Hackenslash is:
           - Easy to learn
           - Deep to master
           - Funny, fast, and full of flavor!

You don’t need permission to be epic. You just need some dice and a terrible idea.
