Unique "Responsibility" SystemOutside of combat¸ characters in Zafir use their responsibilities to their crew to accomplish their goals. Instead of looking at your character sheet to see "what you can do¸" players know what their characters are responsible for and how that can help them succeed.
Inclusive RoleplayingEveryone should see themselves in the games they play. Zafir specifically includes non-binary and trans characters as well as characters with diverse skin-tones¸ disabilities¸ and sexualities. No matter who you are¸ Zafir is a game for you!
Meaningful Tactical DecisionsEvery action characters take has meaning when playing Zafir. Positioning¸ elevation¸ and cover all have a huge impact on the state of the battlefield. Strategize with the other players at the table¸ make a tactical plan¸ and execute it with deadly precision!
Beautiful¸ Non-Eurocentric SettingLoosely inspired by Persian history and Zoroastrian mythology¸ as well as iconic pop-culture properties like Final Fantasy and Firefly¸ the world of Zafir doesn't rely on the well-trodden fantasy tropes of modern RPGs. Instead¸ experience a magitech world of magic¸ airships¸ and spirits.
"Zafir's overall design and lore are exceptional. Its true strength¸ however¸ is in the way it seamlessly meshes its lore¸ tactics-based combat¸ and narrative-based adventuring into a single document. It floods the mind with story and character inspiration."
