Welcome to the World of Durandal

Step into a world where the clash of swords echoes the values of honor, loyalty, and faith. Durandal invites you to explore a mythic version of Charlemagne’s Carolingian Empire, where chivalry reigns supreme, and every decision tests the boundaries of your character’s courage and conviction.

At its heart, Durandal is a narrative-driven tabletop role-playing game. It weaves the historical richness of The Song of Roland and the Carolingian legends with subtle mythic elements to create a setting brimming with heroism and intrigue. From courtly politics to epic battles, the choices you make will define your legacy in a world shaped by duty, divine influence, and moral complexity.

What Sets Durandal Apart?

Unlike traditional tabletop role-playing games, Durandal abandons dice in favor of a diceless, player-facing system that emphasizes strategy and storytelling. At the core of this system is Effort—a resource players use to shape the outcome of their actions—and Passions, which provide powerful narrative hooks and in-game advantages tied to your character’s deepest motivations.

This unique approach ensures every decision feels meaningful. Whether you’re rallying troops on the battlefield or negotiating peace in a fractured court, Durandal places the story firmly in your hands, rewarding creativity and character-driven drama.
