IN CORSO Riftbreakers Second Edition. MMO-Like TTRPG, even Solo!

[talbain]

The epic, MMO-like tabletop RPG returns for a second edition!



Riftbreakers strives to deliver the immersive experience of a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) right on your tabletop. Explore a strange yet familiar world, embark on randomly generated quests, delve into challenging Rifts (self-contained spatial dimensions), discover powerful loot, master intricate crafting, and develop your character in meaningful ways – all without the need for a Game Master!


Riftbreakers is a complete toolkit for adventurous, high fantasy storytelling. This second edition refines and streamlines the gameplay of the first edition, offering:

• Classless Character Creation: Forge your own destiny! Focus on the Skills you use and the gear you equip to become a deadly warrior, a cunning thief, a master of the elements, or anything in between. Your Hearts (character aspects that offer a set of powers under a same theme) and equipment define your unique path.
• MMO-Inspired Gameplay: Experience the thrill of random loot drops, challenging encounters, diverse loadouts (thousands of different Ability combinations are possible), and a rewarding crafting system, reminiscent of your favorite online adventures.
• The Land of Kaethor: A world both strange and familiar, filled with unique twists on classic fantasy tropes. Begin your journey in the besieged town of Kar Helos and venture into the perilous regions beyond.
• Limitless Replayability: Random quests, unpredictable Rifts, and dynamic encounters ensure that no two playthroughs are ever the same.
• Solo & Co-Op Play: Dive into the adventure alone or team up with friends! Riftbreakers provides all the necessary oracles and random tables to facilitate GM-less play.

So what is different, when we compare this new second edition to the first one?

• All-New Combat: Gone is the standard RPG combat (you-roll-I-roll); instead, we are introducing an exciting Ability-based combat system that emulates card play and hand management. This is all done without the need for cards, though, using a clever Ability Loadout system that serves as your deck! Pick your 12 Abilities (from the ones you’ve unlocked, with hundreds of options), add them to your Loadout, and you’re ready to go!
• No Heart Limitations: You are no longer limited to four Hearts, and can now learn any number of Heart Abilities (as long as you loot them!). This allows for an almost infinite number of possible character builds.
• Clear Exploration Procedures: The exploration rules are now hex-based, and have been expanded greatly, with every region having several tables of encounters and findings!
• Streamlined Crafting: Gone are the dozens of different crafting components, forcing you to grind for hundreds of hours to craft a single item. Everything has been streamlined, without reducing the amount of possibilities.
• No More Ranks (or XP!): All leveling is now skill and loot-based. There are no more differences in ranks, and enemies scale to your party’s power, making sure you always find something interesting to fight!
• Exhaustive GMless tools: The GM emulation rules have been expanded and cleared up, making sure you don’t need anything outside of this book!
• And more! All-new art (commissioned exclusively for Riftbreakers 2e), new print format (7x10", up from the 5.5x8.5” of the first edition), new layout, new enemies, streamlined achievements, reworked Companions, new items, and so much more!

• Intuitive D100 Skill System: The core mechanic is simple: roll equal to or less than your Skill to succeed. Difficulty is easily adjusted by modifiers.
• Meaningful Character Progression: Grow in power through the acquisition of powerful loot and the improvement of your Skills. Rolling doubles on a Skill check allows you to mark it for potential improvement, and with hundreds of different items to loot, you will be progressing every single session!
• Deep Crafting System: Don't rely solely on drops! Gather resources and utilize various kits (Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Cooking, etc.) to create the gear and consumables you need to survive.
• A World Waiting to be Explored: From the desperate pleas of Kar Helos, to the dangers lurking within Rifts and the mysteries of the surrounding regions, Kaethor offers you many ways to experience all sorts of adventures. The quest system (fully procedural) ensures that you want to go out and explore, for you will be rewarded handsomely!
• Engaging Encounters: Face a wide array of monsters, from Cave Trolls to Underworld Dragons, each with their own unique action table, so you never know what they'll be throwing at you next! Enemies all adapt to your party's power level, ensuring they always pose a threat.
• Tools for Solo Play (or for lazy GMs): Utilize random tables for quests, NPC interactions (including personalities, natures, and actions), and even landmark generation to fuel your solo adventures. Of course, all these tools can be used by a Game Master to run a game on the fly with no prep work!
• Ideal for West Marches Style Campaigns, or for the Forever GM: With a gameplay loop centered around completing quests starting from the city of Kar Helos, it is extremely easy to play a drop-in, open table campaign. With Riftbreakers 2e, the forever GM will get the chance to finally join their players as one of the adventurers! Furthermore, there is seamless transition from solo to co-op play: play solo at home and then use the same character to meet up with your friends and play together.
