Otherworlds is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by many works of fantasy and science fiction. This game has been played for over a decade! 

I'm seeking to take all the knowledge I've learned over thousands of hours of gameplay, feedback, and dedication to put all the best rules, lore, and information into one PDF book for all to enjoy. 

I'm aware that there are many tabletop RPGs out on the market right now. So what makes Otherworlds special?

It's flexible, like many agnostic systems; however, on top of that, Otherworlds is rife with lore and worlds to explore, allowing you to be as creative you wish! The game's core mechanics are simple and easy to learn, focusing on tools to allow your players to be more engaged in the setting, their characters, and what's going on. 

✦ Light and easy rules - We don't want rules slowing your game down!  

✦ Story driven characters - Characters are created from concept first, then game mechanics, meaning the game works for you and allows you to create the characters you want. Archetypes, classes, anything, are all yours to create!

✦ Keeping It Tight - Characters level up and acquire new skills, but won't drastically gain tons of health. This keeps any adventurer on their toes around armed weaker enemies and keeps things balanced, while still giving progression and expanding what you're capable of! 

✦ Limitless Potential - All rolls in Otherworlds have the chance to explode, meaning you keep rolling if you get a 6! These count as criticals and can be used in OR out of combat, allowing you to win the influence of a leader, gain a new title, learn a new ability, or forge a tale that will go down in history.

✦ 12 Unique worlds to discover - Each with immersive details to flesh them out!

✦ Engaged combat - Combat is fast and lethal, keeping players more immersed. Players can also engage in the fight even when it's not their turn! (This means less players being on their phones!)

✦ Easy to learn and customizable system - Perfect for new Game Masters eager to run a system that works for them.

✦ Mix & match enemy variants are easy to play, creating unique scenarios, strategies, and encounters! 

✦ And more!

Roll 1d6, adding one or two dice for your abilities and creative input! If you roll the Difficulty Level then you succeed! 

Every die you roll has the ability to explode! But have no fear, this is a good thing and totally isn’t dangerous! This term refers to rolling the highest result on a die and continuing to roll more dice, adding the combined result. 

Every time a 6 is rolled, it is counted as aCritical. Criticals can be used to perform extra damage or attacks, persuade tough negotiators, do the impossible, and anything else you can imagine! It's all about the rule of cool babeeeeyyyyyy. 

Edge // Losing Edge 

Whenever your character has an advantage or disadvantage, they can gain stacks of Edge or lose Edge (cancelling the former). Edge allows your character to roll additional dice and choose the highest result. Edge can be gained or lost through story elements, character actions, and abilities.  

One of the best things about tabletop RPGs is not being bound to stringent coding and software. Our limit is our combined imaginations—which I dare say is limitless!

This message is baked throughout Otherworlds. Be encouraged to solve puzzles and problems you encounter in ways beyond the texts of the tome, and instead use your creativity! For example, if you and your friends encounter a riddle with a specific answer that the game has in mind, but you can’t solve it that way, you can still work together to come up with a great answer of your own and see success!

It's all about saying “yes, and...”

So get out there and problem solve! Create an awesome character! Forge a new weapon. Travel to untold lands. And as always, stay awesome!
