A toolbox system for multi-genre challenge-driven role playing games.
Whether you’re seeking to defeat a ghost invasion, uncover a deep government conspiracy, or hunt treasure in the perilous passages of ruined priories, Sanction offers the rules and tools to unleash exciting new worlds on your tabletop.
What’s inside?
- Complete rules for Challenges, the heart of Sanction’s simple and entertaining game system
- Flexible lifepath character creation that brings flavour and focus to your hero
- Guidance and tools for game moderation and hacking, making Sanction your own
- The Agency and With Guile, Incantation and Faith are two sample Genre Setups that provide ready-to-play Sanction settings.
Sanction is a set of “Universal Rules for Challenge-driven Games,” a collection of coherent game mechanics for one-off or serialised roleplaying. Sanction is stripped down, flexible, and intended to be hacked to suit your needs. Sanction isn’t about covering every outcome from the outset but providing you with the mechanics, tools, and guidance to introduce rules when needed.
Sanction uses the same rules as award-winning TTRPG The Dee Sanction.
What’s The Agency?
You’re failures. You messed up, someone died, or some information escaped you. Something went wrong. But you didn’t have the good grace to die or to resign, and the thing about belonging to the Business is… you can’t really be fired. Instead, small groups of you are packed off to offices around the country, and you’re left to sift through the infinite slush of “intelligence” data. Working on the top floor of an office building for a fictional company, you hope, desperately hope, that you might find some way to redeem yourself.
Welcome to The Agency.

What’s With Guile, Incantation and Faith?
Within the Shattered Dominion's bounds, the great conflict's shadows blanket the land like a suffocating smoke. Ruins pierce the roiling fumes while communities fight to find new prosperity amid the debris. The Warriors of the Grand Guild are at the forefront of the push, raging with the dwindling power of the Last Gods. They spasm righteous wrath, clearing a bloody path. And in their wake, the Lesser Orders of the Grand Guild walk — the Scholars, the Chaplains, the Rogues, and the hired help. Support. An entourage. But, as the support act, you’re not meant to look good or upstage the hero, but in a life-or-death struggle, what can you do?
Can you survive With Guile, Incantation and Faith?
