Adventures In is an action-packed, reduced ruleset, fantasy tabletop game for 1-6 Players called Adventurers and a facilitator called the Judge. As an Adventurer, seek knowledge, wealth, and influence in a world brimming with unknowable magic. Using a familiar and dramatic D20 roll high dice system, the 6 Abilities: Might, Alacrity, Endurance, Intellect, Sense, and Will use Scores and Modifiers to adjust rolls. Progress across 3 Tiers of play and 12 levels in 1-2 of the 5 core classes each with exclusive talents at every Tier:

  • Arcanist - Wield the limitless arcane to craft and alter simple spells for any purpose at the risk of unpredictable Surges.
  • Cleric - Command the power of distant gods into esoteric Rites and Hymns that enable divinely empowered attacks.
  • Druid - Embody nature as you spend and regenerate mana into magic and transform into formidable beasts.
  • Fighter - Master martial arts and read your opponents to seize the battlefield and employ devastating maneuvers.
  • Specialist - Employ offhanded tactics to outwit your foes and use tools and kits to overcome obstacles.

Choose culture and lineage traits from the 7 Folk of the Realms and develop what Q.I.N.D of person your adventurer is with: Quirks, Ires, Natures, and Drives. Customize your adventurer as you progress, choosing from 85 character defining Talents each level. Each offers new actions and interactions with over a million Talent and Class combinations. 

The reduced rules support a campaign of exploration, trading skills for environment interactions and equipment worth their inventory space. Adventures In encourages you to play your way with new ways to engage with and intermix conflict, roleplay, and exploration. No pause initiative and action-packed attacks make combat quick and deadly but Discourse, Dread and Resolve can change the tone of any encounter. 

Try the quickstart for free, with everything you need to run and play a game right away.

Adventures In is easy to learn with straightforward and fun mechanics unburdened by holdovers from the past that still deliver on the gritty texture of old-school games with a modern balance of roleplay and exploration in a ruleset that’s easy to run and play.

  • Fans of Conflict will enjoy tense combat that keeps you looking to an interactive environment for any advantage while action-oriented abilities focus and stylize martial and magical attacks. Initiative empowers players who take it and doesn't pause the game, letting everyone get right into the conflict and keeping the battle moving toward a climactic finish. Bring conflict to roleplay and exploration with Discourse, Knowledge, and environment interactions to secure victory in any pillar.
  • Explorers will be delighted by the hands on environment facilitated by action-oriented abilities, elemental conditions, and tool or ability interactions. Resource management is kept light to add strategy, reward preparedness and incentivize creativity in scarcity without slowing the game. Between crafting, Drives, and Circumstance there are more reasons to explore than ever.
  • Roleplayers will be intrigued by the applications for Discourse. Inflict conditions, embolden allies, and engage in dramatic conversations with a few well placed words. Spend seconds or hours crafting the perfect character with millions of character combinations and the Quirk, Ire, Nature, Drive system that gives your character's qualities impact and incentivizes being on task and in character.
  • Judges can enjoy an easy to learn and run reduced ruleset, simple to balance encounters, and environmental and combatant actions that are fun to use and interesting to fight. Mechanic touchstones in each pillar make it easy to engage any style of player and construct encounters for any playstyle. Pull the strings of fate with Dread and Resolve to keep things on track or send them off the rails.
