You are bound to the circus. What do you think of the ringmaster? When the big top comes crashing down, will you help save the circus, or is this your chance to run away?

Ringmaster is a dark fantasy, GM-less, diceless storytelling RPG played mainly by going around in a circle answering prompts from a card deck. The cards ask about the player’s characters, their relationships, and their past and present. Eventually, a crisis will happen, and players will each decide where their allegiances lie.

For new RPG players, Ringmaster is an opportunity to learn about the standard meta-rules such as the X-Card and to try out cooperative storytelling in RPGs without the pressure of math and dice.

For veteran RPG players and GMs, this is a great chance to try out those character ideas and plot devices you’ve had sticking around! The game opens with collaborative world building, and we can lean into whatever setting or theme folks have in mind.
