“...with children, promises are pinky sworn solemn, and unbreakable. They mean something.”

  ― Cyn Balog

Welcome to Camp Iron, the toughest summer camp in the tri-state area. 

This is a place fraught with hardship, built on an unforgiving land.  The Ironcampers that come here every summer have learned that they must depend on each other absolutely to have any hope of a pleasant stay.  In this land, the measure of a kid is their word, their honest vow to help and protect each other.  When an Ironcamper takes an oath, they will go to the ends of the Earth to see it through.  It’s their word.  Their bond.  Their pinky promise.

Pinkysworn is an homage, a slight parody, and an extreme condensation of Shawn Tomkin’s Ironsworn.  It is used both under the Creative Commons License and with permission.  If you are not familiar with Ironsworn, do go and get it.

This game is not at all rules-lite, transforming its inspiration's 270 pages into only 20 (plus the cover!) and holding all you need to play.  Pinkysworn supports regular (with GM), GM-less co-op, and solo play (using the Pinkysworn Oracles expansion).

Maintaining the same feel of gritty fantasy, but in the character-building setting of summer camp, we hope you find here the What I Did This Summer essay of your dreams.
