Era: Forbidden Core Rulebook

Page Count: 225

Bind your soul to your Remnant and defend the future of Humanity as a Forbidden.

Era: Forbidden is a post-apocalyptic fantasy tabletop RPG in a world destroyed by the holy war between angels and demons. The divine forces don’t care what happens to humanity.
The only way to avoid their destruction is through the sacrifice of oneself. Resign your soul to a holy artifact, a Remnant, and gain the sacred powers to fight them. Even then, in this god-forsaken world many dilemmas, challenges, and ruthless decisions will await. The survival of humanity rests on you.

The system runs on the critically acclaimed Era d10 core ruleset but is modified to the themes of Era: Forbidden. Designed specifically for small groups, this game is ideal for 1-2 players and a GM, although larger groups are possible. With the intended smaller groups in mind, you are much more able to survive without help… meaning “lone wolf” stories are completely possible!

You may choose a new remnant every five levels, whilst adapting the ones you already have to be extremely powerful: use them to enhance your combat prowess or innate abilities. Remember, your remnant is more than just a piece of technology, it’s a relic from heaven or hell itself – expect yourself to change accordingly, should you fully give in to its power.

Fight against hellish hordes and divine divisions as they come to take the power from your human body – rebuild settlements from the ruins of the old world, and most importantly – Survive!

In this rulebook you will find: 

• The Core Era D10 rule set, a versatile “dice pool” based TTRPG game system which powers play
• A robust guide to character creation, with a wealth of options to choose from
• A huge selection of fifty different remnants to choose from, all bestowing unique demonic or angelic abilities
• A versatile equipment list. Weapons cover both guns and explosives from before the war, and the bows, swords, and daggers used more widely among survivors in the new, ruined world. A list of armour and other equipment will further prepare you for life in the apocalypse
• A set of short stories that explore what it’s like to be a Human or Forbidden, setting the tone and relaying the lore of the game
• Ten session ideas to get you playing right away
• Worked examples of the rules, and GM advice tailored to people new to running the game
• A bestiary of beautifully-designed, thematic enemies, with stats for multiple difficulty levels of each foe. No more of having the party level out of fighting the one monster the campaign is themed around!

The Era: Forbidden core rulebook (and a few dice!) are all that is required for anyone to play the game.
