Realm of Bastions: A Fantasy Steampunk Roleplaying Game

Realm of Bastions is a classless & race-less table top role-playing game that promotes shared story-telling.  The world that it is based on explores many conflicts in society that are relevant even today, and the encounters may bring up a range of emotions. The Realm of Bastions is aesthetically inspired by Western, Science Fiction, and Fantasy genres exploring some conflicts present in those genres.   Utilizing abilities that draw from Elemental Magic, Steampunk inspired technology and more!

The Realm of Bastions is similar yet distinct from the modern world, and will contain themes relating to Technology vs. Magic, tradition vs. innovation, oppressors vs. oppressed, urban vs. rural, among others.  

Each Encounter can be designed collectively as an entire group, a single person, or any number in between.  The game is designed so that every part of the table top role playing experience can be done so through the Encounter building tools.

The intent of the game is to build friendship through the experiencing of challenging, gritty Encounters while role-playing characters that are capable yet vulnerable.  Each player will make difficult choices with their character both in a narrative sense as well as within the mechanics of the game itself.  

The game uses a large amount of options to create Actors and then Encounters for which to role-play these characters.  The group of players then weave these Actors and Encounters together to create a shared narrative while progressing the Abilities of the Actors. 

Choose between Steampunk inspired Technology, Elemental based Magic, secretive Ancient Ways, potent psychic powers, and mundane Skills to build your Character's abilities exactly the way you want them.

Use the flexible Action system each turn with the other players to gain tactical advantages, surviving against foes that use the same abilities as you!
