Unworthy
A downloadable TTRPG
Physical copies are now available on my website (includes digital files)!
You are a Living Weapon -- an immortal soul forever bound to a deadly tool of death and dismemberment. Your goal: find someone worthy of wielding you--someone that's strong, agile, intelligent. The challenge: you'll need to suffer at the hands of innumerable dipshits along the way.
Dropped into a world of magic, monsters, deadly traps, and nefarious denizens, none of us would last the night. Unworthy gives you and your players a chance to experience the perils of adventure without the pain of introducing a new character every time the dice conspire against you.

- A complete ruleset for playing Unworthy, including guidelines for character creation, task difficulty, combat, and enemy design
- Character permanence alongside deadly combat
- Living Weapons are immortal. The Unworthy Heroes that wield them are not. Charge headlong into battle without worrying about generating a new background, coming up with a different accent, or reintroducing yourself to the surviving group members if you meet your end. Just psychically link to the next Unworthy Hero to cross your path.
- A unique critical failure system that emulates the psychic bond between a Living Weapon and its Unworthy Hero
- Powerful ultimate abilities and special class bonuses for dynamic characters that fit a range of play styles
- Tables to generate unique enemies and loot on the fly
- A custom character sheet that quickly guides players through making a new hero
- Blank enemy card templates for use in custom adventures


Transport your players to the desert village of Qana, where strange night-time occurrences have plagued the area: people gone missing, slain livestock, and malevolent visitors.
Will your players discover the source of the recent evil deeds, or will they discover an even more sinister cause from within the village itself?
Adventure Details:
- A deadly cave full of traps, hidden monsters, and treasure
- Easy-to-role-play NPCs with unique motivations and secrets
- A detailed adventure hook to make it easy for players to hit the ground running
- Mysterious rumors and encounters for added depth and engaging side-quests
- Detailed setting and room descriptions for a rich, narrative experience
- Plenty of location-inspired loot to reward attentive players
- Includes a brand-new Living Weapon that can become a playable character to add a fourth player to your adventures!
Enter The Djinni's Lair if you dare!

Love the system, LOVE the art! Please continue with this game!
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate the support so much 😊 More Unworthy content is definitely in the works!
my favorite part is that dex is only used for skill checks, and psy applying to spell damage only affects exsanguinate, which is for warrior
Thanks for checking it out! I'm planning on expanding this into something bigger than a tri-fold and hoping to add some Living Weapons that use ranged attacks, so DEX will likely become more multifaceted. I'm looking forward to expanding class skills, too, since they'll likely end up living in the rules instead of on the character sheet.
It definitely seems like a very interesting concept at the very least! I can also appreciate the flavor. Will keep an eye out for updates
The art, the vibes, the concept are absolutely killer! I particularly love the illustrations and the old school vibes with your textures – really wonderfully put together and a blast to play!
Thanks so much for checking it out and the incredibly kind words! 🥰
Reminds me of Wield but easier to get into!
Thanks for checking it out! I hope you get a chance to play!
I just saw you upated the game with an introductory adventure! What a awesome update to an already great game. Thank you for the new material. It's quite the generous package for 2$.
Yay!
My pleasure! I had a blast working on this.
This is as interesting as it is beautifully made!
Thank you! That means a lot! I’m working hard on an adventure that will be added here for free when I finish! I hope you get a chance to play!
Love this :) Great concept!
Thank you so much!
It's "Artefact" by Mousehole Press as an action-filled multiplayer! Love it. I might try to find a way to combine the two in an epic evening for my players. This sounds fantastic! I can't wait to get it to the table. I will let you know once I do.
The art is spot on! (The only little nit-picky thing I would change is that Gothic makes for a terrible font for all-caps "SRT, DEX, PSY".)
Well done!
Please also check out my submissions to the One-Page RPG Jam: Boar Hunter, Growing Together & Drawn to land
Thanks so much! I adore the art in your games, too! Can't wait to hear about your playthrough! I've got an adventure in the works for it that I'm going to add to this page once I'm done, so be on the lookout.
And I agree about the STR, DEX, and PSY being a little tough to read -- going to take a look at adjusting that (probably going to manually adjust the paths to make them easier to read).
I appreciate the feedback, and I'll definitely take a look at your submissions!
Thank you!
I am going to be on the lookout for your adventure!
The game and theme are really great,
but i think there is something wrong with the thumbnail picture file, Gomez.
Thank you! What are you seeing with the thumbnail?
If i scroll through the list of games in itch.io most recent, the image for Unworthy did not load. It shows the image not loaded icon.
oh weird! Hopefully just a glitch that sorts itself out. Appreciate the heads up 😊
Happy to help. More people really should know about Unworthy.
OMG! THE ART IS GREAT!!!!
I am love the game, need to play it
Thanks so much! I hope you’re able to play soon!
