In the days of old, adventurers would go out on epic journeys, fight hordes of foes, and arise victorious with treasure and glory. Now they play maim - a sport where two teams of heroes volley each other with an anti-gravity maimball to score points.

A point is scored when a maim player is killed.

WHAT'S MAIM

MAIM! is a roleplaying game where players are teammates in the midst of a dangerous deathsport. It features a sci-fi fantasy setting, a futuristic world full of strange magic and machines - not to mention a cast of weird characters who are all trying to bash you down for points. MAIM! uses the LUMEN system by Spencer Campbell to make players feel badass and powerful even as they're risking their lives in the court.


WHAT DO I GET

In the book you'll find:

  • All the rules you need to play the fantasy hypersport of the pseudofuture
  • 7 unique character classes, from magic Alchemy to the deadly Railgun
  • Dozens of enemies, from cyberpunks to wytches to knightmares
  • An engine for generating new equipment via brand loyalty
  • Tons of ways to advance and customize your character

Hi there! I just bought the game and I'm loving it so far, but I'm a bit confused by some of the rules. Could I ask you to add me on Discord so that I could ask some questions?
