BoNE: Bureau of Necessary Exorcisms

Welcome to the Skeleton War!

Take the role of a skeleton exorcist recruited into a mysterious organisation. In a world where supernatural creatures coexist within mortal society your job is to make those creatures to bugger off. Banish ghosts, file lawsuits against demons, cause time paradoxes! All of this and more await you as an agent of BoNE!

Play as one of three distinct types of skeleton! The resourceful Lucky Bones are able to reroll any check. The agile Hollow Bones can use their wings to cast death from above. The esoteric Weird Bones use arcane magic to bend reality to their will using one of the 36 unique spells.

Be wary though with the last one. Practising magic without a license puts you in the crosshairs of reality cops or permanently rupturing the space-time continuum entirely.  

The game uses a simple 2d6+MOD system. Easy enough to grasp for new players, but with a surprising amount of depth and content in the combat system. Combat checks work with opposed rolls while exploding dice keep things lethal.

Your choices have a cascading effect through a system of tables that keep the gameplay dynamic and unpredictable.

Encounter six distinct types of supernatural creature. From anarchist Wizards to metalhead Vampires. The different targets have built-in variation to make sure no mission feels the same. When you begin feeling a bit too complicit, you will encounter a Big Bad – a powerful entity that mixes and matches abilities from different types of monsters.
