Wyrd Street: Core Rulebook
 |
Wyrd Street is a d20-based tabletop RPG about lower class heroes fighting for the people they love. It combines small-scale¸ intimate story-telling with pulp-inspired action and adventure.
In Wyrd Street¸ you will not save the world or become the champion of an entire kingdom. But you will feed your family¸ protect the most vulnerable people from those who would harm them¸ and bring hope to individuals for whom all hope seemed lost.
Wyrd Street uses a new d20-based system. Those who have played the popular fifth edition system will find it familiar¸ yet fresh¸ with an easy learning curve and satisfying new mechanics. Combat provides constant opportunities for tactical decision-making¸ and out of combat¸ systems for Upkeep¸ downtime activities¸ and more simulate the hardships and joys of life in the city of Morhold.

"Wyrd Street is a unique & gripping play experience¸ while at the same time being easy to pick-up & play. The mechanics are clever & encourage creative play¸ which drives a storyline that quickly becomes very personal. It feels almost familiar¸ but at the same time¸ fresh. It's almost like seeing a familiar place through someone else's eyes.”-Spencer NC.
"I had the opportunity to play Wyrd Street at Winter Fantasy in a sneak preview and I loved it. The pulp noir feel¸ and the interesting combat mechanics made it flow much faster than some of the more popular TTRPGs on the market¸ while still making them feel meaningful. The magic system was certainly different¸ and the setting is CERTAINLY intriguing! I look forward to ordering it myself and exploring the world they have created!”-Tyler C.
