FIRMAMENT
A downloadable game
FIRMAMENT is a rules-lite action fantasy RPG about the conflict between the Champion of an ancient order and the various factions that wield the corrupt magic of Affliction. Players embody the powerful Champions of the Order of the Firmament as they join the fight against Affliction.
FIRMAMENT
FIRMAMENT uses the LUMEN system, built for fast-paced games starring powerful characters. Each Champion in the Order of the Firmament is a superhuman fighter, empowered by the Firmament and trained in a combat Discipline to use it.
The Champions are opposed by the factions that use Affliction as a weapon. From the industrial Braxon Alchemical to the implacable Hexhunters, these enemies are the most dangerous foes the order will face.
Combat is fast and deadly in FIRMAMENT—for the order's foes at least. In combat, Champions wield weapons of sunlight and moonlight in battle, and spend a resource called Celest to use powers unique to their Discipline.
As they advance, Champions get better weapons, upgrades to their base, and styles that modify their powers.
FIRMAMENT Includes
- Complete rules for playing FIRMAMENT
- 6 Disciplines with unique powers and customizable advancement
- 5 Enemy factions with tons of enemies
- Rules for creating expeditions, weapons, and locations
- Sample Expedition Rescue from Vandralen Manor
Talking about FIRMAMENT
I appeared on Tabletop Journeys Podcast to talk about FIRMAMENT, the LUMEN system, and game design.

My group and I have been running missions for each other on off weeks when we can't all attend our usual game and the entire group has caught the firmament bug. It keeps the attention of some of our sleepier players too, and though I ran the game way too hard our first playthrough, they weren't discouraged and loved the loose ideas we started playing with.
One of the players has created a new discipline, I'll bug him about polishing it.
Glad to hear you've enjoyed the game! And if your player ever feels like sharing the discipline, I'd love to see it
I've been having SO much fun playing this game. The time my group played took a little getting used to as we were all more used to slower moving systems but once you get used to it it's WONDERFUL. Everything hits hard and fast(including enemies!! Watch out) and there's a lot of fun to be had with powers. Absolutely give this a shot. I'd say start up takes about 15-20 minutes and gameplay for missions about 2-3 hours.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it
This is beautiful, Erin. I will definitely try it!
Thank you!
Did you mean to make it a pdf? I don't think I have anything that can open .indd files.
.indd are the working files for InDesign. Safe to say, this was likely accidental.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's a pdf now
