About the game

Days of Gold

A fantasy tabletop RPG of ambition, power, survival, and dangerous opportunity.

Roseheart Games

The heart of the game

Your character has a life worth building.

Days of Gold is a fantasy sandbox where you decide what is worth pursuing. There is no adventure you are required to follow, and no reason every character has to want the same thing or remain together as a permanent party.

One character may manage a business while another tends a community, works through a Contact, or searches for someone worth fighting. Those separate lives move forward and eventually collide.

Choose the Pursuit

Chase gold, safety, status, a new spell, a dangerous victory, an Oath, a favor, property, or whatever matters to your class.

Pay the Cost

Gold leaves your purse. Followers need wages. Reputation rises and falls. Hunger matters, and Harm is dangerous.

The World Remembers

Friends, rivals, businesses, promises, victories, failures, and ambitions stick around and become tomorrow's problems and opportunities.

Easy to Run

Days of Gold is designed to require very little GM preparation. Keep the world alive, follow the players’ choices, and let the Moves handle uncertainty. No encounter building, elaborate stat blocks, or battle maps required.

Growth without levels

Gold is Advancement

There are no levels. You do things, earn gold, and spend it to grow your character. Hire followers, buy services and property, bribe people, acquire better gear, and purchase additional Class Perks. Gold is the key to becoming more capable and influential.
