It is with great pride that I'd like to announce the full release of Broken Worlds, the Kill Six Billion Demons RPG!

This is the culmination of more than a year and a half of writing, playtesting, drawing, and tinkering on my part, but I haven't done it alone. Josh Raveling, a patron and a gentleman, has done the beautiful layout work, and Sam Chabot has designed the excellent character sheets. I must also give credit to the Powered by the Apocalypse system by Vincent Baker for the innovative and influential dice and move system.

Having run this game many times, I'm a huge fan of the way it works. You can play a character such as the Beggar that fights with a ladder and gets drunk on anything, you can play a character such as the Law who can literally walk through a building as long as they are pursuing a criminal, and you can play a character such as the ninja-like Hunter, who can spend power to appear anywhere at any time, watching from the shadows, with absolutely no explanation (that would reveal the Shadow Arts, of course). These and much more await inside!

Within, you will find the rules for running a campaign in Throne or another inter-dimensional, wuxia-style setting, the playbooks (characters), a huge repository of lore, and a starting adventure hook. Thanks to Josh's hard work, it's all fully indexed, bookmarked, and hyperlinked for your convenience.

In the future I will possibly look into print on demand and a full-color version, but starting right now, the RPG will always be available right here on Patreon for all patrons. The RPG tier and up will continue to contain content for other RPG work I'm completing, such as The Pit and Blades in the Dark. 

Enjoy!

Will there be fillable sheets anytime anywhere??

I'd like to echo the 'Refined character sheet has the Hunger's moves' comment. That said, this is awesome and I love it!

Cláudio

Any chance of seeing NPC files, the comic´s characters ?

Casual Flying

Will this be getting a physical release like Uncharted Worlds?

Colin Fahrion

AWESOME! And yay it's PbtA based

Chance Phillips

I would definitely be interested in a PoD version, preferably via DTRPG/RPGNow, but that's not necessary.

S.A. Hannon

yaaay something nice happened today

Symphonie's Words

Page 21 of the sheets - starting moves for the Refined - is instead page 11, starting moves for the Hunger

Dylan Gray

This is SO GOOD!! Will run a campaign for my group after break.

Blake Hutchins

Way to go, man. Well done. It looks beautiful.

hester

this is amazing and i'm pestering all my rpg friends to check it out!

Sean Britcher

Unless I’m missing something obvious, I’m not seeing a link to download. (Also super excited to get a group to run this)

Jack

Hey, the book looks really cool, and I'm enjoying reading through it, BUT I noticed when I got to the playbooks PDF, the 2nd page for the Refined doesn't match the rulebook. It looks like it's the same as the second page for the Hunger. Just wanted to let you know and also express that I am a huge fan of your work!

Thickolas

Wish I'd known ahead of time this was PbtA, kinda bummed.

Carter Richmond

I just want to say that the Angel Move for the Master Playbook is the coolest racial move I've seen in any dungeon world style game. That alone makes me want to get a group together for this, and the books full of other brilliant moves.

Allan Heath

Hopefully this will also be followed up a release version of Lancer soon as well. :D

Jerry Sköld

This is fantastic stuff! If a full-color and/or POD version becomes available at some point, I´ll shell out for it *immediately*. Screw food.

Marshall

What’s the best way to report typos, etc.? E.g., the Refined playsheet has the Hunger’s starting moves.

sadie s

so excited to run this soon! quick question (that might be really obvious): is there a section for descriptions of the classes beyond the italicized in-universe text and their move-sets/specific rules? like a "this is what the hunger is" type description? thanks!

scone

One complaint I had while reading through the character classes is that the root and branch Moves weren't grouped together. I get that the moves were listed alphabetically, but it would be nice to have the related moves next to each other.

Matthew Cohen

Quick question about the followers. Their additional costs don't really have any explanations. Like what does Upholding the Law mean for the Angel follower? Is it up to the GM to define these things?

Sean Britcher

So apparently it shows up on the webpage, but not the Patreon app.

Thomas Hillion

Hey there ! Can't download the pdf either :'(

Octa9on

Any plans for a print-on-demand version?

Victor J Merino

The Refined character sheet has the wrong starting moves.

I noticed that knives are in the melee weapon table, and have a range of closed, but also have the infinite tag. Also, in the example at the beginning, the player threw their knives. Did you mean for them to be thrown? Because unlike the other thrown melee weapons, it doesn't say so.
