GM-Free Combat

The monster and each player will have a hand of cards they cannot share with the group. Through moves and tactics you will need to figure out who holds what cards, how to maneuver in order to play special moves, and how to prevent the monster from completely destroying you.

This system uses 1 standard deck of cards for all combatants. 

Inspired by the games: 

• Blackjack
• Bridge
• Heroic Chord/Harmony Drive
• Fallen London

This system is a prototype! It has not been tested and results may vary wildly!

It is unknown if combat is balanced or if monsters are too difficult or too easy. Please keep this in mind when playing.

If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or suggestions please feel free to get in contact with me.

Please also contact me if you have played this or would like to playtest it with a group.
