What is Suma?

Suma is a rules-light, narrative tabletop RPG set in a world where language has broken.

After The Event, words lost their power, sound became dangerous, and reality fractured. Now, silence isn't just survival — it's a skill.

You’ll play as one of the few who still walk the shattered paths of this world.

You don’t just act.

You listen, pause, risk naming the unnameable.

How Does It Work?

  Character creation is fast: choose a name, a role, a goal.
  Assign points to three key traits — Harmony, Rhythm, and Silence.
  Actions are resolved with a simple d12 roll.

  Modifiers come from your story choices, gear, and how you describe your actions.

   But here's the twist: you can’t speak — at least, not without cost. At the table, players must communicate through gestures, writing, drawings, or intentional silence.

  To speak is to risk attracting the things that listen back.

Why Play Suma?

Because you've never played anything like it. 

It’s short, strange, poetic, a game about what remains after language fails. Perfect for one-shots, experimental sessions, or as a surreal interlude between bigger campaigns.

It works in groups, and it’s especially powerful with music and mood lighting.
