Detail Where You Want It. Speed Where You Don't.

The Broken Empires RPG uses a Sim-Lite system that achieves a fun balance between rules-light and rules-crunch.

  • Every die roll reveals a wealth of information — from hit locations and levels of success to wounds!
  • Reduces the GM’s narrative burden to describe every action outcome.
  • Games are far faster moving than crunchier simulationist systems.

Rich Fantasy Setting and Thrilling Mechanics

Set sail in the pirate-infested waters of the Serpent’s Teeth Isles. Or brave the Red Wastes to navigate the political maze of Ansharir. The Broken Empires RPG is a game of risk/reward and consequences.

  • Fast, skills-based character creation.
  • d100 Success Level System drives combat, social, travel and magic encounters.
  • Wound Die adds tension to combat.
  • Freeform magic system with infinitely tailorable spells and dangerous Weave Reactions.

Decisive Action Sets Everything in Motion

The #1 driver of success in The Broken Empires RPG is player action. Players must make active choices and express them through roleplaying. Only then do the dice tell you the results.

  • Push to reach your character’s goals, and the world pushes back.
  • Combat is dangerous and unpredictable. You will think hard about drawing your sword.
  • Use wits, cunning and a variety of tactics to win social challenges.
  • Travel requires you to plan ahead and risk precious resources, which makes for thrilling and adventurous journeys.
