Use What Serves the Story. Leave the Rest.
Tools and sourcebooks for story-first roleplayers who build their own worlds, rewrite the rules, and trust the table.
Lightspress is for the players and gamemasters who care more about narrative momentum than perfect math. We make worldbuilding tools, modular rulesets, and genre sourcebooks that help you shape stories your group will remember. Every book is system-adaptable and designed for clarity, flexibility, and emotional impact.
Whether you're building a long-form campaign or improvising from a few notes, you'll find what you need to keep the story moving.
