Gramarie is a homebrew subsystem for the 3.5e ''{{TabletopGame/Dungeons and Dragons}}'' created by Kellus on Giant in the Playground forums, originally described as "{{Magitek}} that doesn't make me cry myself to sleep." and is based around using science and magic in a manner better focused for world-building. In addition to the "official" Gramarie system, fans started creating content such as new Disciplines and Prestige Classes, expanding the project even further than Kellus's work.

On the 3rd day of 2014, Kellus returned after a long disappearance and released control over gramarie by saying that it was the communities system, since then a council has been formed and the system is currently undergoing a revision.
