🏰 Welcome to Hornerville
Welcome, Adventurer!
Hornerville is a living fantasy role-playing game and a flexible set of tools designed to help people create characters, run adventures, and play together wherever they are.
You can explore the official world of Hornerville, create your own campaign within it, or use the website’s tools to build an entirely original world of your own.
🎲 Play Your Way
Hornerville does not require one specific style of play.
You can use the website to play:
Face-to-face with friends around a table
Online through Discord or another voice-chat service
As part of an ongoing Hornerville campaign
In a private campaign created by your own Worldkeeper
With Hornerville characters, compatible characters, or your own creations
Use the Battle Room, game board, dice roller, character tools, rules, and resources in whatever way best serves your group.
Hornerville provides the tools.
You decide where the adventure leads.
🚧 The World Is Still Growing
Hornerville is currently under active development.
New rules, classes, spells, artifacts, monsters, locations, stories, and features are continually being created and refined through actual play.
The website represents the current version of the game and will continue to evolve as more adventures are played.
📖 How to Begin
Explore the Hornerville website.
Create or bring a character.
Review the current rules and available classes.
Gather your friends or find a Worldkeeper.
Open the Battle Room and begin your adventure.
You do not need to master every rule before playing. Start with what you understand, make reasonable decisions, and let the game grow naturally.
🌎 One World, Countless Adventures
The official Hornerville setting has its own lore, characters, history, rules, and progression system.
However, your group is free to tell its own stories.
Worldkeepers may create new kingdoms, villains, quests, monsters, and entire worlds using the Hornerville system. Groups may play casually, build long-running campaigns, or connect their adventures to the greater history of Hornerville.
The tools belong to every adventurer who enters.
