Ensemble is a tabletop role‑playing game for collaborative play. It uses a simple structure (Tags, Chances, and Risks) to help your group create stories full of surprises, drama, and discovery. There are no character sheets full of numbers, no pages of feats to memorize, just you, your friends, some six‑sided dice, and the worlds you imagine together.
What began as an evolution of the solo game Loner grew into a complete multiplayer RPG, shaped by tables that wanted the same fiction‑first engine at the center of their campaigns. Whether you are telling tales of classic fantasy adventurers, neon‑soaked operatives, crumbling space empires, or intimate character drama, Ensemble gives you just enough structure to keep tension high while letting the story lead.
Fiction comes first: describe what happens in the world, then roll dice only when the outcome is uncertain or dangerous.
Descriptive Tags, not stats: characters, places, and situations are defined by evocative words that actually matter in play.
Multiple ways to play: run a traditional campaign with a Game Master, rotate narrative authority in GM‑less mode, or connect Ensemble to Loner for solo side stories.
Ensemble is part of the same family as Loner: they share the Chance/Risk Dice engine and tag‑based design, so content flows smoothly between solo play and group play. Start a saga at the table, spin off a character’s personal journey in Loner, then bring the consequences back into Ensemble and watch the fiction evolve.
