Sangrail is a modular Grail Quest for Heartseeker. It can be added very easily to an existing campaign, or used to begin a new one. In it, the adventurers will experience Grail Visions, which will lead them ever closer to the Grail Keep.

It is printable on a single A4 page (double-sided, flip on short edge!), and designed in black-and-white to be as printer-friendly as possible. Sangrail contains:

  • Some guidelines on running a Grail Quest as a referee
  • 7d8 tables for generating elusive Grail Visions
  • 3d8 tables for generating Grail Knights to encounter on the Quest
  • The Grail Keep - a three-room transcendental dungeon
  • 6 Advanced Character Classes - Paladin, Hero, Magi, Saint, Pilgrim, Hierophant

Note that the Hierophant requires Heartseeker: Druids and More Rules, as it is an upgrade for the fan-made Druid class.

If Heartseeker isn't your thing, rejoice! Sangrail can be converted to the game of your choice fairly easily. There is only one stat-block within (Grail Knight), which shouldn't be too hard to convert. There are also some Advanced Classes, which will likely need a bit of work to fit the system of your choosing!

Those of you who like my other zines/games will notice that I've gone for a very similar visual style here to my previous game, Tourney Revised Edition. Simply put, I really liked the way that looked so I wanted to do it again! <|: P

Sangrail was inspired by the following:

  • Excalibur (1981)
  • Final Fantasy (1987)
  • Perceval, the Story of the Grail (~1186)
  • Runescape (2001)
  • Talisman (1983)
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine (2006)
  • Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987)


Over the past few months I have been playing 2004-era Runescape with a friend. A few weeks ago we quested for the Holy Grail, as pictured above, thus ending our play-throughs. Without my companion Sir Godwinson (right), Sangrail likely wouldn't exist! 

May thine sword be ever sharp, and thine cunning ever sharper!

Really like the design as well, did you make the art/ where did you get it from?

I did all the collage traditionally (knife and glue), primarily using two sources:  'A Pictorial Archive of Decorative Renaissance Woodcuts' for the characters, and Vault Editions' 'Frames, Borders and Cartouches' for the borders.
I made the illuminated floral letters from a scan I had of a 'T', I digitally removed the T then added in the letters I needed using Procreate. The Grail itself is a scan of the 'Holy Grail' card from Talisman 1st Edition. The collages were scanned in and then edited/cleaned up in Procreate. 

I hope that answer is helpful : )
