Why you should play Frame
Minimalist Design
Rooted in minimalism, Frame challenges conventional methods by offering innovative ways to enrich the role-playing experience. It fosters intuitive narrative gameplay without sacrificing the essence of what a role-playing game can be.
Narrative Focus
Frame is about who’s at the table, not what’s on it. It prioritizes narrative and character development over complex mechanics, ensuring that every decision and action contributes to a rich, immersive story. This makes it an ideal choice for players who value storytelling.
Applied Gaming
Frame is designed to be both personal and professional, adapting easily to various playstyles and group dynamics. Whether you're exploring deep personal narratives or conducting professional sessions, Frame's flexibility makes it suitable for any context.
Universal Tag System
There are no character sheets in Frame. Instead, we use online or physical notebooks and the Unified Tag Language (UTL), which transforms game mechanics into storytelling while seamlessly enhancing character development.
Flexible Framework
Frame offers a highly adaptable structure, allowing you to customize rules and settings to fit your specific needs. This flexibility provides endless possibilities for creating unique gameplay experiences tailored to any style.
Follow the Loop
Frame uses a loop system that adapts to your needs, integrating meta, macro, and micro loops. The meta covers what happens outside the game, the macro guides how the leader drives the narrative, and the micro handles dice rolls, tags and actions.
“The world is my idea.”

FRAMES
Frame_Deus
In the shadow of the Great Exodus, millennia after Earth was forgotten, humanity scattered across distant stars, founding colonies on alien worlds fraught with danger and mystery. In the darkness of the cosmos, new civilizations rose—strange, fierce, and indifferent to the gods of old.
In this era of fractured worlds, a few remain devoted to the ancient faith—a remnant of priests, missionaries, and holy emissaries who answer the Call to carry the light of the Lord to the galaxy’s furthest reaches. You are among them. As an ordained emissary from the Holy Temple, you are one of the faithful sent into the depths of the universe to rekindle belief where it has faded and to confront powers that lie beyond human understanding.
Each journey is unique. From desolate moons steeped in shadows to thriving planets ruled by forgotten deities, you and your fellow emissaries venture into the unknown. Armed with faith, tradition, and ancient rites, you seek to guide, to convert, or to face the darkness in its many forms.
Will you bring the light of the Lord to these uncharted worlds, or will the mysteries of the stars reshape you? In this boundless universe, every mission is a test of faith, and every world a revelation.
Frame_Folk
Life in Folk is simple, yet heavy with the weight of duty. Fields must be tended, debts paid, and prayers whispered for protection from hunger, illness, and the unknown. Most people crave little more than peace—a quiet life where the dangers of war, heresy, and the Depth remain distant rumors.
But the world rarely lets anyone stay in their place for long. A failing harvest might bring the wrath of the lord’s taxman. A wandering stranger’s tale might lead a curious soul astray. The Church’s demands for faith—or whispers of heresy—might turn the most devout against their neighbors. And when the forest stretches its shadow closer, people cannot help but wonder if something stirs within its depths.
In Folk, even ordinary lives are fragile, and the smallest of sparks can send them tumbling into chaos. Whether through desperation, fate, or ambition, you will find yourself cast out of the familiar and into a world of doubt, danger, and decisions. The question is not whether your life will change—but how you will face it when it does.
Frame_Ruin
The golden age of the Seven Kings ended not with a grand battle, but with a whisper—of betrayal, of greed, of ruin. Their empires, once mighty, turned to dust as their hunger for power devoured the lands they ruled. Each king was a symbol, a living embodiment of the sins that consumed them: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, wrath, greed, and sloth. Their great cities, adorned with treasures, art, and magic, now stand as crumbling husks, monuments to ambition unchecked.
As the kingdoms collapsed, the world fell into disarray. The magic that once flowed like rivers became erratic and dangerous. The people who survived the fall of the kings scattered, forming tribes, factions, and gangs, scrabbling for what little remains. Where once there was order, now there is chaos; where once there were laws, now there are only the ruins of a shattered world.
And so begins a new era, where only the strongest, wisest, and luckiest will survive, and where those who dare can carve their names into history. Welcome to the Ruins that the Seven Kings left us.
