Welcome to Art of Bard
Tabletop role-playing game design is our specialty, and our flagship product is a universal role-playing system called "Cinematic" which is is designed to combine a cinematic experience with a fast and easy to play set of rules. We likewise create custom content and worlds, as well as converting well-known and loved books, comics, and films into source material for those who want the luxury of having a lot of the tedious work done so the important part, the games, can begin! This custom content includes maps, characters, plots, and adventures!
The promise of every role-playing game ever created is to allow us to participate and experience our favorites books, comics, and movies. We don't just want to watch; we want to "ride the movies" and be the protagonists. Most role-playing systems fall short of providing this level of immersion. They are either too simple and dumbed down, or painfully slow and complicated. Thirty years of design and play testing have gone into creating Cinematic which becomes your magic ticket to endless worlds.
