My Father's Sword is a humorous and narrative-driven fantasy role-playing game where you get to play epic heroes, exaggeratedly skilled at some things, completely useless at others. It's a game where clichés are rewarded, where every fireball gets extra sparkle, and where the feeling of your very first role-playing game gets to shine again.

The rules are simple, straightforward, and liberating; the focus is on the story, not on numbers or combat rounds. The game uses the Basic Eight game engine, which is based on only eight skills that cover everything you need: from combat and stealth to magic and social interaction.

There are no hit points, no initiative, no schools of magic here, but everything you need to create magnificent, silly, memorable adventures where you can be as heroic and goofy as you want. A perfect blend of The Princess Bride, Discworld, and nostalgia from the role-playing nights of yesteryear.

The game won Gold – Best RPG 2024 at the Fenix Awards 2025. Just imagine.
