KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS RPG, Full Release
It is with great pride that I’d like to announce the full release of Broken Worlds, the Kill Six Billion Demons RPG!
This is the culmination of more than a year and a half of writing, playtesting, drawing, and tinkering on my part, but I haven’t done it alone. Josh Raveling, a patron and a gentleman, has done the beautiful layout work, and Sam Chabot has designed the excellent character sheets. I must also give credit to the Powered by the Apocalypse system by Vincent Baker for the innovative and influential dice and move system.
Having run this game many times, I’m a huge fan of the way it works. You can play a character such as the Beggar that fights with a ladder and gets drunk on anything, you can play a character such as the Law who can literally walk through a building as long as they are pursuing a criminal, and you can play a character such as the ninja-like Hunter, who can spend power to appear anywhere at any time, watching from the shadows, with absolutely no explanation (that would reveal the Shadow Arts, of course). These and much more await inside!
Within, you will find the rules for running a campaign in Throne or another inter-dimensional, wuxia-style setting, the playbooks (characters), a huge repository of never-before-seen lore, and a starting adventure hook. Thanks to Josh’s hard work, it’s all fully indexed, bookmarked, and hyperlinked for your convenience.
You can grab it over at Patreon for any pledge level, and it will continue to be up there for all patrons indefinitely.
Enjoy!
Being based on Apocalypse World is a dealbreaker, I’m afraid. 🙁
Ah, but the setting itself is system-agnostic! Run a game in the setting with any system you like! I, for example, will probably be running a game in this setting using the Swords Without Master ruleset, or perhaps no rules at all for the more experience roleplayers.
If thats the case I might try and make a dnd5e port.
AWESOME! Uh, I mean…
Hrmm… That’s pretty darn cool and all, turnin’ Throne and other worlds into a role-playing game. Can’t imagine the paperwork involved, gettin’ permission to use the likenesses and descriptions for each a them Demi-Urges, greater and lesser Devils and Angels, and whatnot. But I’m sure you passed it all through the proper channels. Reckon?
Sooo awesome!
Will there be a print release?
Is there a way to pay you for it directly, and not go through Patreon?
Just in time for the “It Is Now Socially Acceptable To Ask Other People To Buy Things For Me, (Which Is Lucky Because I’m Broke)” Season!
Huzzah! And Happy Holidays!
Interesting read. But your game PDF has some typos. For instance, the lore table for The Mists is missing and instead I see Rumors of Water twice.
Congrats on the RPG!!!
I love that sexy lil devil.
I hope it comes out in print soon. I would buy it in a heart beat.
Have you considered putting this up on DriveThruRPG? DriveThru would also allow you to make a Print on Demand version for those of us necrophagic old souls who still favor tree corpses.
