A Monster-Collecting TTRPG
The wild places of the world are ruled by Crytures; strange and powerful beings born of magic. Humanity has survived by avoiding and hiding from these deadly beasts.
Until Cryture conjurers began to bind them!
Bind Crytures to your will, explore untamed lands, and carve a path through a world where humanity survives only by wielding the forces that rule it.
Crytures is a tabletop role-playing game built around monster collecting, procedural adventures, and survival in a living world.
Bind the Crytures of the Wild
Crytures are more than monsters. Each species has its own nature, instincts, and powers.
Conjurers bind Crytures using Binding Crystals, drawing them into an Astral Pocket where they can be summoned when needed.
But power alone does not control them. Your Crytures have their own moods and personalities.
Treat them poorly, and they may ignore your commands or turn against you.
Use the Affinity and Enmity system to build trust, grow stronger together, and uncover new forms as your Crytures metamorphose into more powerful beings.
Explore a Dangerous World
Civilization clings to the edges of the wilderness.
Beyond the towns and roads lie ruins of lost empires, dangerous Cryture territories, and unexplored frontiers.
In Crytures you will:
-
Track dangerous Crytures through dense wilderness
-
Delve into ancient ruins guarded by forgotten constructs
-
Learn the history of the forgotten conjurer-kings
-
Discover rare lifeforms that produce strange and useful materials
-
Uncover the secrets of powerful Mythic Crytures that rule the earth
Every expedition is a gamble between discovery and disaster.
A Game That Creates Its Own Adventures
Crytures is built around procedural adventure tools that create stories at the table.
Instead of spending hours preparing a session, the game provides systems for generating:
-
Expeditions
-
Dungeons
-
Encounters
-
Complications
-
Discoveries
Combine these tools to create adventures on the fly—or explore the world solo without a game master!
Every expedition tells a different story!
Different Levels of Gameplay
Crytures features numerous ways to resolve conflicts using different Scenarios, each with their own systems, strategies and levels of abstraction.
Engage enemies in deep strategy with a Tactical Battle, or breeze through random encounters with a Battle Montage.
Use Negotiation to trade supplies with tribesfolk, or turn them into lasting allies with an Influence Encounter.
You have the tools to engage with the world on your own terms!
Conquer the Wilderness
Whether you seek knowledge, power, or survival, every expedition brings you closer to the same question:
Can humanity truly master the wild…
or merely survive within it?
The greatest threats in the world are the Mythic Crytures—ancient beings that rule entire regions.
Kingdoms rise and fall on the backs of powerful conjurers who have managed to bind one of these beings.
Others remain untamed.
Choose well your companion, Conjurer,
for you walk the waking dream,
bearing the power
of crystal-bound creatures!
