Based on the popular Root board game, the Root RPG Kickstarter was a smash on Kickstarter, pushing well beyond half a million.
Originally announced as the Pellenicky Glade Quickstart, the introductory sampler was made available for Free RPG Day.
The Bertram’s Cove Quickstart is now free if you missed that first change.
Magpie Games has made 34-pages of Root: The TTRPG available. It still carries the Free RPG Day logo at the top, reassuring us that it’s a second chance to get a first look at the game.
In this quickstart, that war has reached the clearing of Bertram’s Cove—an invaluable logistical resource for whoever occupies it. As vagabonds who travel between the clearings, you and your friends are welcome in the Cove because you take on the jobs that no one else will or can do. You choose whom you serve, if anyone… and you may tip the balance of the war in this key location!
Inside the quickstart, there are basic moves and rules to play. As many of Magpie Games’ RPG do, Root: The TTRPG uses the Apocalypse World Engine.
Six pre-generated characters and some critical NPCs, locations, and conflicts in the war have returned to the Woodland.
There are special weapon moves for combat and a faction system to introduce you and the characters to the various sides of the war.
The quickstart also has a map and clearing generation system within its free pages.
