What is Four Crystals?

Four Crystals is my take on J-RPG for the tabletop, it is heavily inspired by Mausritter by Isaac Williams and the Final Fantasy series of video games.


You Spoony Bards!

The Spoony Bard Edition is a test version, as the game is still in development.  I really could use some feedback, please help me turn this into a reality.

Why Itch Funding?

My intent is to hire an artist to do the art and layout, but that costs money. 

Meet Dry

I'm in talks with Dry and he requires 90$ for his work, so that's the goal of the Itch Funding. When the funding is accquired, I will pay Dry!

I appreciate the vibe of the 4 different "books" but it'd be a lot more convenient to have a single PDF to reference/search that just smooshed all four together into a single volume.

Hello,

Thank you for reading my game!

The reason I made four books instead of one was because I wanted to print them in booklet format. That said, it's perfectly viable to make one single document with a unified table of contents. I'll work on it!

Thank you for the feedback!

Yeah, for printing, the four booklets seems like a cool format, but for digital use, having a unified file would be great! Thanks!

Glad to see games are still being made for Spoony Bards. Almost mages me feel like a Sage.
