The Physical Edition of Knave

It’s an honor to offer a physical, high quality edition of Knave on the L.F. OSR Shop! We’re proud to help support Ben Milton and phlvx with a portion of every copy sold and extremely excited to get this special release into Knave fan’s hands! Features the outstanding artwork of Perplexing Ruins, also known for recent release, Darkness Moves.

NOTE: This is the Standard Edition of Knave, meaning it does not feature the hand numbering or colored staples of the Limited Edition (it also features slightly whiter paper). Materials used are still the premium grade we aim for, but are more widely available, meaning we can offer a larger print run for the Standard Edition.

What Is Knave?

Knave is a rules toolkit for running old school fantasy RPG’s without classes. High compatibility with OSR games – if you have a library of OSR bestiaries, adventure and spell books, little or no conversion is needed to use them with Knave. Fast to teach, easy to run – if you are introducing a group of new players to OSR games, Knave allows them to make characters and understand all the rules in minutes. No classes – every PC is a Knave, a tomb-raiding, adventure-seeking ne’er-do-well who wields a spell book just as easily as a blade. This is an ideal system for players who like to switch up their character’s focus from time to time and don’t like being pigeonholed. Abilities are king – all d20 rolls use the six standard abilities. The way that ability scores and bonuses work has also been cleaned up, rationalized, and made consistent with how other systems like armor work. Optional player-facing rolls – Knave easily accommodates referees who want the players to do all the rolling. Switching between the traditional shared-rolling model and players-only rolling can be done effortlessly on the fly.
