Clanless

Clanless is a game based on Fari RPGs' Breathless SRD, for the Breathless Jam 2. It's a little TTRPG incarnation of a board game called Grindstone that my husband and I have been working on for the better part of a decade.  We've had a lot of fun working  on it, and we hope you'll enjoy playing it just as much. We tried to bring the spirit of our beloved board game together with the finely polished mechanics of Breathless, and we think we've managed to put our own unique spin on it —

Mechanics

Characters each have a Class, which both defines which three of the Skills they can distribute their higher starting dice between, and gives them their own unique skill that sets each class apart from the others. One's class also defines what Loot Tables they're able to roll on, because in addition to the standard Loot mechanics of Breathless, we also have Scrolls and Enchants (which have their own inventory section called the Scroll Case), as well as Potions that can be thrown as weapons or used to refresh the party.

The game takes place in Loscaria— the land of the Six Clans, and the six types of Elementals that inhabit it. Using elemental weaknesses, you can gain a flat +1 to your roll— but adding elemental Enchants to your gear also imbues you with that element's weakness, which can be turned against you.

It isn't only Elementals that the party will face on their travels through Loscaria— bandits, hostile mages, and various peoples and creatures defending their territory will also pose a threat. Some of them may even leave Traps in your way. Depending upon the trap, you might disarm it with a successful Sneak check, figure out the mechanisms of it with a Think check, or avoid it entirely with a good Dash check. If you happen to be a Rogue, you can even pick the trap up and bring it with you, employing it to your own ends.

The game jam is just about over, and my husband and I's combined disabilities have made it really hard to get a polished product together in these two months, but we've worked too hard to not get something submitted on time!  So this is an alpha version of the game, which I will be updating (hopefully) soon with proper loot tables, a real character sheet, and a much better layout. Anyone who buys the game will, of course, get all of the updated files for free.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look over our game!
