Welcome to Super Maps & Legends! A new fantasy sandbox tabletop role-playing game.
Coming 2024
Hi there! I’m Mike Mercer, the creator of Super Maps & Legends. The game is a computer-assisted tabletop role-playing game inspired by RimWorld, Master of Magic (the original), Minecraft, new and old-school Dungeons & Dragons, the Old-School Renaissance movement (OSR), and numerous other influences. If you enjoy shenanigans, improv adventuring, or base-building, and tolerate a few spreadsheets that allow for epic scale and super freedom, then this might be the game for you!

base-building
on steroids
Bases are Tactical Battle Maps that players create and manage. Bases open up new role-playing stories that revolve around defense of home, loved ones, and possessions. The most basic base is the dôm, a “tiny house on wheels” pulled by draft animals. But bases can quickly grow into communities, castles, or even moving castles!
one-stop-shop
A world with 10,000 living characters
Every character in Super Maps & Legends, from your lowly donkey to the monarch of the kingdom, has its own unique stats. They have families, jobs, problems, dreams. As time passes they grow old, have kids, get married, get killed or robbed, and much more. With GM approval, a player can choose to Steward any character in the world at any time. Stewarding is “managing with the intent to reveal story for the enjoyment of all.”
On our Patreon we are building a library of maps, digital minis (2D art), and more which you can access for a small monthly fee via our Patreon. These libraries can be used in any tabletop role-playing game! Get a swag pack of maps and minis FREE by joining the Patreon at the free level! (Coming November 2023!)

More features
Short & Long play
Don’t have two years of Friday nights to dedicate to a game? No problem! Play with your friends in one-shots with game setup times as fast as chess! All stories live in the same persistent world, so each time you play the experience gets richer!
Virtual table top friendly!
Embrace new tech, reconnect with old friends, and play on a variety of VTTs! The databasing, data management, and rapid data generation powers of computers just can’t be beat. If your VTT can’t do it — and none of them can do all that we need, yet — then we build tools ourselves to fill the gaps and provide them to you for free.
A persistent, living world
Visit locations months, years, and decades later and see the effects of player choices over time on other characters, cities, and nations! Overland effects come and go, nations go to war and make peace. You could wake up tomorrow with warships on the horizon!
Solo, Gm-less, & Group play
The game doesn’t just support Solo and GM-less play, it’s baked into the game as how it is meant to be played. Base defense “raids,” one-shot side adventures based on your characters’ jobs, and shorter stories about characters you meet in your travels that enrich the larger story — it’s all built into the same system! Never worry about the GM missing a game session again! There’s plenty to do!
create your own class
Gone are the days of 7 or 12 lonely classes - just make your character and it will be totally unique! It’s easy and balanced! You can also pick from a large database of traditional class templates if that’s your jam.
AN infinite map
Your world is hand-drawn from a single dot. Discover as you go! Bored? There is always something new at the edge of the map! It’s called the Infinite Canvas. (Looking at you, Daniel Lieske!)
Free for followers
The game will be free digitally to anyone who supports, shares, cares, or otherwise helps out the project.
The Discord will connect you to Mike and his team directly via a series of chat rooms.
Get access to an ever-growing library of battle maps, digital minis, and more for a low monthly fee! (COMING SOON!)
get the game free (once it’s ready)
Get the game when it’s done baking in the oven for free digitally (PDF) when you sign up for emails. No strings attached!
