Reaver Sword & Sorcery Role-Playing Game is less gonzo and more grit! Inspired by the fantasy works of Robert E. Howard, Charles R. Saunders, Karl Edward Wagner, and others, with a heaping dose of historical adventure fiction by the likes of Bernard Cornwell and Poul Anderson.
Updated on 11/25/23 to "Version 2" representing several months of playtesting and revision.
- A unique die-chain mechanic that doesn't require special dice--the d5, d14, and d16 can all be easily emulated;
- Player-facing rules that let the PCs be the focus;
- Action-packed combat in which the PCs can be heroic but still feel at risk;
- Dark and dangerous magic, for those willing to face the consequences;
- Meta-currency for the players and Chronicler (game master).
