Your account Crit Happens: a d20 and two crossed swords above an autumn valley at sunset, with a castle in the distance and a stone archway overgrown with golden leaves.

A fantasy adventure for you and your friends.

Download for Windows

Free. Windows 10 and 11.

Make a character, gear up and head out with your friends. There's a village full of people who need a hand, goblins getting bolder in the woods past the pass, and a game master who keeps the world moving while you play.

The village from above: stone and timber houses with red roofs, market stalls and villagers around a dirt square, with pine trees and mountains behind.

A village worth coming back to

Elder Maren, Captain Hale, Bruna the Armorer, Varn the Weaponsmith: everyone in the village has their own voice and something they need doing. Take on their quests, sell what you drag back from the woods, and spend it on better gear.

Goblins in their camp in the woods, by a tent and a totem pole hung with skulls and red banners.

Trouble in the Goblin Woods

Follow the road out of the village and into the forest. Goblins have made camp there, and their shamans don't fight fair. Every piece of armour and every weapon you find shows on your character, from leather hoods to knight's plate and the greataxe.

A dirt road leading into a pine forest between wildflower meadows.

A game master who never sleeps

An AI game master watches the world and plans what happens next: goblin raids, a warlord marching on the village, a festival in the square, a supply cache to find, bounties and errands from the villagers. A human game master approves every event before it starts, so the story stays fair.
