Fantasy RPG Design Challenge

The Challenge

Design a fantasy tabletop RPG that includes none of the following:

  • Dungeon exploration
  • Swords
  • Guns of any type
  • Monsters as simple as those in Chainmail
  • Women in revealing outfits
  • Barbarians
  • Elves, dwarves, or halflings (added late, so optional but encouraged)

Note that swords and dungeons might exist in the game's world, but the rules cannot mention them.

Regarding monsters: If you include them, either avoid established monsters completely, or re-imagine them. Monsters must be complex and interesting, not damage sponges.

You have until the end of February 2016. Submit your game in a comment on this Google+ post or any post I write on this topic. In March, I'll post links to every game, and will choose a winner who will receive a PDF copy of every tabletop RPG I've ever published.
