Hey all!
After over 7 years of independent development, I've finally release my first ttrpg into beta.
https://epzi10n.itch.io/phlegethon
Projekt Phlegethon is a science fiction tabletop role-playing game which explores the bright future of transhuman experience in an adjacent reality. Â
Following contact with an entity beyond the System, Transhumanity has been wounded. The infrastructure which once held the System together has been fractured. Many suffer memory lost or other psychological trauma. The Mega-Corps seek to disenfranchise the System in order to retake control. Whats more, ancient ruins and artifacts thought long dead have suddenly begun to wake up, their sentient constructs angry and hostile.Â
The game is skills based with virtually no Attributes, and  features an abstracted movement and range system for combat which eschews traditional grids and pedantic measurement for simplified and relative âquadrantsâ.
"Wealth" is replaced with a resource level unique to each location, and Characters have mutual access to these resources. With enough time, they may Craft anything they like so long as the region provides the required resources. Part of Character motivation and progression is to repair the system's infrastructure to increase this regional resource availability.
Crafting also includes things like FORM -- your literal body. Bodies can be modified with Biotic which range from synthetic grafts to blackmatter implants. As such, the game also features in-depth FORM mechanics which differentiate between the Character's body and mind.Â
Speaking of the mind, the setting's âinternetâ has been replaced with the psionic NeuNet. The Characters enter this network with their mind, and once within, they may store information within artificial worlds which feel as real as reality.Â
The Project is currently in Beta, and will have a proper price tag upon a full release to account for editing, design, and art. Each copy of Phlegethon bought helps someone else access the game who may not be able to currently afford the game. If you are unable to purchase the game at the listed price, please pick up a free copy here.Â
