Conduits

On top of this corporeal world we know...

...exists an ethereal one inhabited by Spirits. 

Most people cannot see them, let alone know of them. 

You are not like most people. 

You are a Conduit...

You can perceive, interact with, and become bound to Spirits

You have a life-long bond to a spirit,  known as...

Your Companion...

Who was drawn to a sense of kinship it felt with you

Whose otherworldly capabilities gives you a special edge...

Together with your fellow Conduits, you investigate the supernatural, and face dangers from both this world, and worlds beyond...

What is this?

Conduits is a one-page Tabletop RPG where you play as someone with a spirit companion that gives you special abilities to interact with people and your surroundings. It's designed for 4-5 people to play, with one person  as the "Game Master" (GM) and the rest as "Players". Players make player characters (PCs). GMs present dangers to navigate, mysteries to solve, and puts together the setting, while players interact with the world and challenges presented to them.

Extra Info

What do spirits/companions look like?

Companions can range in looks from humanoids, cute creatures, weird gremlins, or horrific monsters, whatever you can imagine!

Can I make my own spirits/companion types?

Most definitely! I included 4 in the base rules, but feel free to use your own imagination to come up with new abilities to create new types. A good idea to keep in mind when making the abilities is they should interact with the world, not the rules, and to keep the scope of the ability narrow if it's powerful and broaden the scope if it's weaker in effect. Soul is always the stat used to utilize the ability. 

If you're the GM making a new spirit for the PCs to deal with either alone or as the companion of an antagonistic Conduit, pick a stat that it targets, determine how it targets that, and then assign it a threat level!
