Detente for the Ravenous: The Roleplaying Game- Coming 9/24

COMING SEPTEMBER 24, 2024

What is Detente for the Ravenous? 

• DFTR is a fantasy roleplaying game based on Rowan, Rook, and Decard’s Resistance system, intended for up to 4 players and a Game Master. It takes place in the world of a novel by the same name, in which a team of disenfranchised people set out to assassinate the theocratic head of the empire that ruined their lives. 

Who is this for?

• If you enjoy games like Heart, Spire , F.I.S.T., or Elden Ring
• If you’re interested in historical trainwrecks combining 17th century military touchstones with 20th century Cold War espionage
• If you’re interested in the ways religion is wielded as a tool of hegemony
• If you like games with big, narrative altering abilities
• If you like fully-fleshed-out fantasy settings
• If you can tolerate some admittedly janky layout...

DFTR is for you!

DFTR Contains:

• An 80,000 word novel (eBook) and 250 page roleplaying game (PDF), able to be purchased separately or in a bundle
• 7 operative classes showcasing the breadth of the world- will your Communer suffer so that others may flourish? Or will your Bioengineer defy morality with their unethical experiments? 
• A collection of art from public domain, Creative Commons, and Creative Comrades licenses, altered to create a black-and-white, photocopied appearance
• A diegetic rulebook giving players an immersive (if biased) view of the world
• Tactical dossier of 35 mundane and monstrous stat blocks
• Rules for a “Grand Strategy” level of play, allowing player missions to affect the fate of nations
• A vividly-imagined setting inspired by the history of the Cold War and 30 Years’ War, featuring 5 nations, 24 Factions and Contacts, and 30 NPCs
