Temples & Tombs
 |
Terror! Suspense! You will not believe the dangers in store for your intrepid heroes! Will they discover ancient secrets¸ lost civilizations¸ or priceless treasure? Will they escape treacherous villains¸ evil super powers¸ or deathly traps?
Temples & Tombs is a roleplaying game devoted to creating the fast-paced adventures popularized in pulp magazines that led to films like Raiders of the Lost Ark ¸ The Mummy (1999)¸ and Romancing the Stone .
Built on the Year Zero Engine system ¸ the framework that drives Free League's games such as Tales from the Loop and Mutant Year Zero ¸ Temples & Tombs is adapted to fit the two-fisted adventure pulp genre in several key ways.
Custom skills and talents engineered for a fast-paced and adventurous setting Luck mechanic that provides more dice for added chances of success¸ but with a chance to "run out of luck" Hero mechanic for additional chances to succeed Condition-based consequences so that heroes never die (but may be on the run) A scene structure that helps guide play to emulate your favorite action/adventure story
Beyond that¸ the game looks and feels like you'd expect YZ0 to feel. And if you've never played in this system¸ you're in for a treat. Very easy learning curve¸ fast-paced game play¸ and just enough crunch to keep things interesting.
