Bramblewick: Guild Management Simulator

The heroes get the songs. You get the ledger.

Bramblewick is a guild management RPG where you run the hall that heroes call home. Recruit adventurers — each with their own stats, traits, and temper. Outfit them, train them, and send them out to fight, explore, escort, and steal on your behalf. Then wait by the fire and see who comes back.

⚔️ Ten Classes, Twenty Ways to Build Your Guild

Every adventurer you recruit belongs to one of ten classes, and each class branches into two distinct specializations — so no two heroes ever have to play the same.

⚔️ Warrior

- Guardian — An immovable wall. Taunts enemies onto themselves, shrugs off damage, and can outlast almost anything the battlefield throws at them.

- Weapon Master — A relentless melee striker who chains powerful blows together and finishes off weakened enemies with brutal execution attacks.

🏹 Ranger

- Warden — A precision marksman who marks targets, fires devastating multi-shots, and rains arrows down on the whole battlefield.

- Beast Keeper — Fights alongside a loyal animal companion, commanding it into frenzied attacks while both hunter and beast grow stronger together.

🔮 Wizard

- Arcanist — Channels raw arcane energy through missiles and blasts, marking enemies for extra damage and overloading spells in bursts of pure power.

- Elementalist — Commands fire, ice, and stone — hurling fireballs, freezing enemies in place with lingering ice storms, and crushing foes under falling rock.

🗡️ Rogue

- Assassin — Strikes from the shadows with poisoned blades, vanishing when threatened and finishing off poisoned targets with lethal precision.

- Duelist — A blur of rapid strikes and counters, weaving speed and precision together into a nonstop flurry of blows.

✨ Cleric

- Holy — The party's lifeline, keeping allies topped up with steady healing and powerful group-wide restoration.

- Judgment — Wields holy magic as a weapon, burning enemies down with sustained fire and decisive finishing blows.

🛡️ Paladin

- Templar — A holy protector who taunts enemies, shields allies, and turns sacred ground into a healing sanctuary.

- Lightbringer — A dedicated healer who mends wounds, shares healing across the party, and can restore an ally to full health in an instant.

🌿 Druid

- Warden — Roots enemies in place and shields the party with nature's resilience, becoming an unshakable guardian of the wild.

- Lifewarden — Weaves healing-over-time magic across the party, keeping everyone steadily mending through even the toughest fights.

🌩️ Shaman

- Stormcaller — Calls down chain lightning that arcs between enemies, slowing foes and summoning totems to blanket the battlefield in storms.

- Lifebinder — Channels ancestral spirits to heal allies in bouncing waves, empowering the party with speed and sustained restoration.

🎵 Bard

- Songweaver — Sings songs of life and courage that heal, buff, and lull enemies to sleep — support through music itself.

- Dawn Singer — Turns song into offense, empowering melee strikes and building momentum the longer the battle rages on.

👹 Warlock

- Corruptor — Afflicts enemies with corrosive dark magic that spreads and lingers, draining their life to fuel your own.

- Demonologist — Summons demons and shadows from beyond to fight at your side, growing an infernal legion as the battle escalates.

⚔️ Every road is a story. Quests play out as journeys — skirmishes with bandits on the way, rope bridges someone has to cross, lucky rolls and catastrophic fumbles. Read the mission journal when they return: every triumph and disaster is written down.

🧠 Your adventurers remember. This is Bramblewick's heart. A hero who nearly died at the Bandit Camp carries that scar — and talks about it, to you and to each other around the hall. A perfect roll becomes a story they'll retell for years. The comrade who dragged them home becomes a friend for life. Your guild's history isn't in a menu; it's in the people.

⚖️ Good or bad — the choice is yours. On the road, your parties hit dilemmas only you can resolve, and your answer travels back to the hall. A beggar stops your party on the road — do you spare a few coins, or turn them away empty-handed? Choose mercy and your heroes will be proud to wear your banner. Choose profit, or cruelty, and some will respect it… while others stop sleeping well. There's no morality meter here — just a reputation, built one decision at a time, among the people you command.

🏰 Run the hall. Negotiate contracts, manage the guild chest, host visitors, plan raids, and play diplomat with your neighbors while wounded heroes rest and heal. Beyond the war room, keep your tavern alive — serve patrons drinks and hot meals, work the farm, cast a line at the river, and process what you grow and catch into the food and drink your hall runs on. Day and night cycle through your hall while its people train, drink, argue, and remember.

Anyone can hire a hero. A Guild Master earns their loyalty.
