NovArchaic Playtest 0.9.0

Shoot Monsters. Study Magic. Fight Gods.

NovArchiac is a tabletop role-playing system that I have been working on by myself for almost 10 years. I have decided to try and get more eyes on it, and thus more support. If you have the time and want to play a tabletop RPG set in the modern-day, then check out NovArchaic.

What's New

• New Introduction Sections
  • The first few pages go over the system in a quick glance sort of way, as well as I have some notes about my design approach to the system.
• Major Character Creation Overhaul
  • Species rebalancing, wealth kits, and more.
• Actions Overhaul
  • Many new base actions, as well as adding templates for unique actions a character can master.
  • So Many Magic Spells...
  • Added a few "non-magical" special actions.
• Conditions Overhaul
  • Conditions are rewritten and made to be a bit easier to understand.
• Creatures Overhaul
  • Since base characters got redesigned, I had to come through and adjust the creatures as well. All creatures start at level 1, allowing you to adjust and make them perfect for how you want to use them.
• Equipment Redesign Started
  • Weapons and apparel have started to be adjusted and created. There are many planned updates on this
• Added appendices
  • Moved the condition list and secondary attribute list in there for now.
• Multiple Proofreading passes
  • While I have already added Adam and Remick, they have not fully done any passings on this version. I will update here when able.
• And much more!
