Core rules for Insect Steampunk.
Rules
The core rules of Insect Steampunk are available as a downloadable PDF.
What are these rules?
These are the core rules of the Insect Steampunk tabletop RPG — the system that supports character creation, progression, specialization, and play within this unusual setting.
The rules are designed specifically for the world of Insect Steampunk rather than adapted from a generic fantasy system. Their purpose is to support a style of play that matches the setting’s distinctive atmosphere, societies, and conflicts.
What makes these rules different?
Insect Steampunk is built as a custom RPG system developed together with the setting itself.
Instead of relying only on familiar fantasy assumptions, the system is intended to support:
- structured character growth
- meaningful specialization
- distinctive archetypes
- a setting-driven style of play
- mechanics that fit an unusual world rather than simply borrowing from conventional fantasy templates
The intention is to create a game where system and world reinforce one another.
Project status
The rules may continue to evolve over time as the project develops further. Some documents may be updated, expanded, or replaced by newer versions.
Please treat the downloadable files as part of an actively developing project.
