Balance [BETA]

Balance [BETA]:

Balance [BETA]
Publisher: Stormforge Productions

Balance is a fast-paced fantasy RPG that puts you in the shoes of an Agent of Twilight, tasked with restoring the natural order and balance of a world that has lost its way. It sports relatively simple mechanics that you can learn in no time and get ready to play incredibly quickly. It's ideal for groups that want something fast and easy to pick up and get into in order to break up the monotony of a long campaign with something different and fun, as well as for introducing new players to the gentre of tabletop roleplaying games. Staying true to its name, the game is made to be perfectly balanced, so every way to play is not just valid, but it's also the correct strategy for winning, ensuring you can play however YOU want.

Your character is an agent of the Eternal Council - a secret society that serves the great Twilight to preserve the balance in the world. In ALL the worlds. Everything is connected by the layers of the Twilight, and only those that are taught the ancient ways of your order can enter or navigate it. The realm of shadows will be your home, refuge, and base of operations, as you prepare to execute the mission that lays before you. Each class also has a unique relationship with the Twilight. Exploring what that is and how they draw power will not only reveal deep secrets, but it might just be what you need in order for them to realise their full potential.

Balance offers a very simple but open-ended set of mechanics and lots of pre-configured templates with the goal of being easy to get into. The game is incredibly fast paced and made to be played in one-shot adventures that span a few gaming sessions at most. Another one of its unique aspects is that it's not just a 2d6 system, it is THE 2d6 system. Due to how the mechanics are set up and the way the game's balanced, it is governed by incredible consistency - matter what happens, you can be sure that the two dice are all you're ever going to need, and once you get the hand of it, rolling doesn't change.
