Shepherd's Lantern

The sheep have been kidnapped by wolves.
Are you a bad enough dog to rescue them?

Shepherd's Lantern: Sheep Dog Quest is my entry to 2024's One-Page RPG Jam. It's a simple, light-weight tabletop system about a group of fantasy heroes — in the form of anthropomorphic working dogs — who quest to rescue their lost flock. 

The rules are easy to learn, combat is fast-paced and impactful, and there's ample room to build out your own adventures.

I really hope you enjoy! If you play, I would love to hear your feedback — especially surrounding balancing sheep and damage. Thanks to Gila RPGs for making Lumen, the system on which this is created; and thank you to Unknown Dungeon for hosting the jam.

Dedicated to the memory of Steve, the big, orange Border Collie.

This game is Illuminated by LUMEN, based on the LUMEN RPG system designed by Spencer Campbell, Gila RPGs. This game is in no way affiliated with Spencer Campbell or Gila RPGs.
