The Root: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game Quickstart (PBtA)
 |
 |
Root: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game is based on the award-winning Root: A Game of Woodland Might & Right board game. In Root: The TTRPG¸ players take on the roles of vagabonds in the Woodland¸ adventuring from clearing to clearing and through the forest while a war rages in the background. You take on jobs for Woodland denizens¸ maybe dealing with nearby bandits or a dangerous bear¸ but you also take on jobs for the factions involved in the war. The Marquise de Cat might ask you to undermine the Eyrie Dynasties' advance into a nearby clearing¸ and the Eyrie Dynasties might ask you to kidnap an important leader of the Marquisate. Your actions will reshape the Woodland¸ and you will gain prestige or notoriety with the different factions to mark your relationships with them.
Root: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse framework¸ with all new rules designed to help you play a game of Woodland adventure. This quickstart includes everything you need to play a few sessions of the game¸ such as:
- Basic moves and rules to play
- Six vagabond playbooks
- Special weapon moves for combat
- Map and clearing generation systems
- A faction system to represent the war
This quickstart isn't the full game¸ and will undergo changes¸ refinements¸ and adjustments with playtesting. Make sure you check out the Kickstarter¸ live on September 17th¸ right here:
