Chapter Text

The Roles that We Play

The aim of the game to complete long sagas through various quests and personal arcs while hiding your true nature from the public and individuals who would use that information for less than noble purposes.

If you want to run a more traditional fantasy game, use the guide as your quest giver, if you want a high school/university setting use the guide as a librarian and in a town, setting use the Slayer as the local sheriff.

What you need to play

• 3 d12s for a player, Narrator feel free to grab as many d12s, D4s and D6s as you want
• 3 or more friends to be your victims players and a torturer Narrator

A Word of Warning

• Because of the themes at play in horror in general and specifically this game, you should have a talk with your players about using the X card system or the stoplight system as you regularly check in with your players as you play

Diceless Results

• For those who want turn into a purely roleplaying system, use the passive results and add +1 for every die you gain from advantages on that roll, thus if you have +5 from danger, +5 from your tier and you have Magical Advantage (3), you would have a passive diceless result of 13 for said danger roll

Passive Results

• This number comes into play when you are not actively rolling or you are reactively dealling with something like for something if you do the result of that roll is what determines the result
• How the result for any passive abilities calculated is your tier number plus the relevant modifier or minimum of one if you have a lower modifier
• Variant Rule: You can use your passive result to automatically succeed on rolls even if you’re active roll fails, standard rules apply to determine said passive results

---

Passive and Active Focus

• Whenever you use an ability that has a prolonged duration, you have two choices passive and active focus
• You can use passive focus to make the effected individuals have to beat your DC and you can then you all your actions and attacks
• Or you can you use active focus where you spend an action in combat to focus and maintain the ability in use and make it a contested roll with all the associated advantages and disadvantages against your willpower
• You can focus on as many abilities or spells equal to the amount of actions during your turn
• If you wish to break an individual's concentration, you can either roll social to distract said individual in a contested roll against their willpower or hit them with an attack, the damage becomes a DC that they have to succeed a willpower roll against it in order to maintain the concentration

Stealth

• You use the expertise stat for any stealth based rolls
• Its does require an action during combat unless you use your passive stealth result, but either way it does halve your speed
• It does require the player to justify how they are hidden or being stealthy, examples illusion or hiding 
• If you attack while in stealth an individual, you only have to hit their passive dodge number

Light Terrain

• Imposes Normal Disadvantage (1) on all rolls
• Imposes Paradoxical Disadvantage (2) on all rolls and lowers your speed by one level on the movement track
• Imposes Magical Disadvantage (3) on all rolls and lowers your speed by two on the movement track
• Imposes Divine Disadvantage (4) on all rolls and lowers your speed by three on the movement track

• Imposes Ascended Disadvantage (5) on all rolls, lowers your speed by six on the movement track, you lose reactions and two actions during combat

Harsher Terrain

• You can add levels of exhaustion in order to make things even harder, I would recommend two per day that way they always have at least one after resting and it stacks over time
• You can also have terrain or weather inflict harm like from hail or frostbite from cold climate and dehydration or heatstroke from hot climate

---

Resting Place

• A resting place is not just your apartment or your house, it’s a safe place from all the insanity and terror that’s secretly out there in the world. What it that resting place is, is what up to the player, but there some good thematic choices, Vampires hide in gothic building with their coffins, the Minotaur and the Kraken tend to live in the maze-like sewer. When you rest after a fight in your resting place, you heal
• If you do not rest each night, you will have gain -1 penalty to all stats for every night you don't rest
• Once all of your stats are negatives, you die from exhaustion
• If you do not eat each day, you will gain -1 penalty to all stats for every day you don't eat
• Once all of your stats are negative, you die from starvation
• Variant Rule: It takes days instead hours to recuperate for a tougher game

Death is not always the End

• When you hit you zero or below health points, you are declared downed
• This doesn’t mean you are dead because unless you decide so, but if you wish to live you have to justify it with a story-based reason
• However, if you downed from for example having your head chopped off, you die
• But even if you do die, there are many ways to come back from the dead, so death is rarely the end
• You stopped being downed when you are awakened this takes an action by a fellow player or NPC (Non-Player Character)

Secrets and Uneasy Allies

• A secret is something the Narrator tells you and it is your choice whether to keep that information for yourself or share with the group
• A common way to gain such an edge is learn the character role of another player without them learning yours, but eventually everyone learns all the other players’ character roles so be careful
• An ally is most often just someone who is willing to help you in that moment or how much they help you
• Another major component of the roleplay in this game is you and your fellow players do not have to be allies or friends, you can betray them or kill them if needed for the sake of your faction because there are so many at play at any given time, but be aware you are also betraying your fellow travellers

---

Combat Order and Rules

• Turn order is established by everyone rolling a d12 + your Danger bonus
• Variant Rule: Turn order is established by everyone rolling a d12 + your Combat bonus
• Whenever you go for an attack roll combat to hit and the individual you are attacking will roll a combat roll to dodge the attack. If the attacker’s number is the same as the dodger, the Narrator decides the outcome
• An attack takes up an action you only have one action, so you use it wisely until you take the second attack/action from the generic ability list
• When you target a specific spot on an individual or try to disarm someone you gain a level of disadvantage
• If you get surprised attack or you are stunned or otherwise kept still in some other manner, the attack has to hit the passive combat or dodge result and you can't make a dodge roll
• If you gain a surprise round from a form of mass ambush, everyone in your party gains a free turn where all attacks you all must hit the target's passive dodge number
• If you are attacking to find a character role's weak point such as a dragon or specific part of someone's body, you have to succeed on a combat luck roll, use the table below to determine the result
• You can use knowledge based roll to find out said part (lore or mundane) or you can use a perception based roll (danger or expertise) to see if you can spot it
• If you don’t declare that’s nonlethal and you downed someone, it can kill someone especially a normal human
• Any ability to can theoretically have an area of effect (AOE for short) unless it states in your ability or ability list otherwise
• When you using Area of Effect (AOE) attack, its radius is your first number of your movement, if you use second and third attack to boost the radius it works the same way that movement does, see the image below
• Each person hit within takes the full amount of the attack
• If there is any access damage that hits the next closest individual or foe until the all the damage is used up
• If a foe move away from you when you next to each of in combat you may use your reaction to attack them once if you want to attack them multiple times as your reaction each additional attack will take up an attack/action from your next turn
• What you can do as a reaction is up to your character abilities and the determination of the Narrator, a good example of something you can do as a reaction is your character putting on a gas mask as a reaction to seeing deadly gas pouring into the room

Battle Effects

• You can use fate points to activate battle effects
• Shrapnel: You can use your actions to cause any remaining damage to damage any still standing individuals
• Meteor Strike: If you successfully roll to attack when you are going to take fall damage the individual you hit will take all the fall damage instead
• Ultimate Meteor Strike: When you successfully use Meteor Strike and you have an attack ability that has an AOE effect, you can cause everyone within your range to roll against your DC if they fail they take the same damage as the original fall damage
• Undeniable Authority: You can roll intimidation against either an individual or as many people within your range if successful they will immediately obey a single command
• Commander: You can give an action to an ally, who can attack or move
• Ram: You can move in a straight line and roll an attack roll, which will like a DC, anyone who fails gets successfully hit and for every individual you hit, it takes up an additional 5 feet of movement
• Shapes: You can use an AOE or direct attack in the shape of a cone or more complex attacks that goes around the corner and explodes when you do this. you count the individual cubes in order to control it's range and area of effect like the images below

Rumour

• At the start of the session or when your players are lost, make everyone roll a d12
• Typically one round of rumour role per session should be fine, but free to have another round once the Travellers discovered the truth behind all the previous round of rumours
• For a more story based reason for your Travellers to gain a rumour role, you can have go to epicentres like libraries and diners
• When a thing behind a rumour is unresolved it keeps it's original number and stays on the result
• If someone rolls the same number, it can either give more information on the rumour or can give a different rumour about the same faction

Explaining the Character Sheet and Levelling Up

Origin

• Your origin is your backstory and how you became said character role

Alternate Forms

• You gain a form that is the truest and most powerful self like going from a shy and polite nerd to a primal and destructive werewolf. It also makes you unrecognisable to anyone even if they’ve known you, your entire life thus separating your abnormal and normal lives

• You can also partially shift into your alternate form for example you could turn your hand into your werewolf claws to defend yourself or destroy a lock

Character Tier

• This is the base of your power, its also how counter abilities are determined. The heirachy is as follows:
• Ascended
• Divine
• Magical
• Paradoxical
• Normal
• This means if someone for example as a magical source of being able to detect lies it would counter paradoxical source of being able to lie without being detected
• However if its a magical source vs a magical source, its up to the Narrator to decided in that moment, which ability wins

Health Points

• Health points are calculated by 5 + your willpower modifier per level

Damage Types and Levels

• Fall damage is usually normal damage, however if you fall into a pile of radioactive waste or enchanted field all that damage that you would have taken from the fall changes to the other type

Movement Speed and Jumping Distance Track

• The first number is your base movement and how far you can go and still use both attacks
• The second number is how far you can go and still use one attack provided you gain the second from the generic ability list
• If you use up both attacks to move, you can double the amount of movement you get from your second number
• If you use a third attack, this will double the amount of movement that you get from using two attacks to boosting your movement
• The first number is how high you can jump upwards
  The second number is how high you long jump
• There are also certain abilities that increase your movement, so be careful to check the movement section of your character sheet when you gain a new character ability
• How high you can jump is calculated by the first number of your movement divided by 5 and your long jump is your second number of your movement divided by 5

Experience Points (XP)

Getting experience is rare, but when you get enough experience points, you get to level up, these experience points are gained when you finished an arc, solve a mystery, or complete a quest. When you do level up there is three options getting a character ability, a generic ability that everyone gets eventually and a stat boost, according to where you are on the level-up track. If you wish to have a more difficult game you can have individual discovery and experience tracks, so that in a group of three players you would have to make or complete a maximum 30 tasks before levelling up once. However joint tasks such as combat everyone gains the experience point. Alternatively, you can have each task be assigned a tier 1-7 and that’s how much experience said task grants upon completion.

Going beyond Level 15, Changing Role and Multiple Roles

• There is currently only one way to go beyond level 15 and that is to evolve into a member of the Ascended or Godhood, which will be explain fully in their respective or to go to into the sixth tier with a maximum of level 18
• However, you can change roles for example human to Zombie or Vampire if there is a story-based reason for it
• You can use any ability from the as many roles as your tier number, however you can only take one of each genetric ability and stat boosts are still the same

Skills and Equipment

• Your origin determines what skills you have typically you use your mundane or expertise stats for these rolls also you gain normal advantage on the roll if you are considered an expert in that skill
• If you in a sci-fi or magical setting you can gain higher levels of advantages, paradoxical and magical advantages respectively
• If you are Divine or Ascended tier character role, all of your skills typically have divine or ascended advantage on said rolls
• Starting equipment is also determines by your origin what type of equipment, consider things such as your character's profession, education and wealth along with what there is access to in the current setting, for example a magic ring that aids in stealth is a lot harder to find in an urban fantasy or horro setting than it is urban mythiology or high fantasy setting

Developing Skills

• You need to roll 3 skills challenges over a period of time determined by the Narrator and time it takes to learn that skill, it takes a longer to learn surgery than how to fix a lightbulb

Things to Consider when Designing your Character Role

Rarity of Certain Character Options

• There are certain roles that are so rare that there is only a few or even one of them at a time. These are for some examples are the Maiden, the Whirlpool, the Monkey King, the Mad Scientist and the Hydra. Of course if the Narrator wishes they can do away with this rule if they have a plot-based reason to do so.

Using the Ascended and Divine Character Option

• These character roles are intended for more experienced players, they require special permission from the Narrator to use and a conversation with said Narrator to decide the abilities. The special variant rules will be fully explained in their respective expansion books and due to their nature, they can easily be overpowered compared to other Travellers and other character roles.

Making your own Character Role

• They must have an origin, alternate form and character type
• They must have a good and bad inevitable ending
• They must have a weakness and a weak condition
• They must have the starting stats: +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2 and -3
• They must have six unique abilities
• The sixth ability can only be accessed once you level up to Sixth Tier that meant to be your most powerful ability for most character options
• If you decide to add a seventh ability it, it can only be accessed at Seventh Tier
