Revenants Revised Edition

Revenants Revised Edition is a solo or co-op grim fantasy TTRPG about rightful vengeance. You create one or more characters and a Traitor through a few dice rolls, then embark on a hex-crawl journey of retribution.

Characters are created quickly, with only hints about their background and perhaps a weapon (and a curse). If they survive long enough, there will be time to flesh out their stories. Though these characters may die, their Community endures, and the hunt for their Traitor continues.

The game blends two distinct styles: a rules-light narrative approach and crunchy tactical combat, allowing players to adjust the balance between them to suit their preferred experience.

This game assumes familiarity with TTRPGs and does not provide introductory explanations or general guidance for players or game masters.

The game is an evolution through heavy playtest of the Revenants TTRPG zines, although this edition includes everything in a single book, new character options and new procedures to guide campaign gameplay. You can check out a barebones and free version of this edition in the Revenants Minimal Edition. 

There is also a Card Forge that anyone can use to create custom cards to use with this game and aid their campagns.
