The Other World's Favourite RPG
TROIKA! is designed to be wondrous to play and simple to run. Its character backgrounds allow anyone to dive right into the game with no prior knowledge of the setting, system or campaign and its many published adventures make it easy to get started. With a few easy steps you and your players will have a grasp on the weird of the world and it will grow from there into something entirely your own
No Barriers
The core book for TROIKA! has everything you need to start and stay playing for a long time:
- 36 backgrounds ranging from pond priests to lobotomised aristocrats.
- 70+ unique spells.
- 36 enemies each using our innovative Mien system.
- 1 tutorial adventure to get you and your players comfortable in this bright new world.
And if one book isn't enough there is an enormous amount of supporting material, both official and fan-made, readily available from all respectable RPG outlets.
If, after all that, you still want more, the TROIKA! system is transparent and accessible enough that anyone can get right in and make new content for themselves and their players. Just let your good ideas flow.
Grounded Weird
The world of TROIKA! will be instantly familiar to anyone who has enjoyed classic New Wave fantasy and sci-fi works such as Dying Earth, Viriconium, Jerry Cornelius, Fighting Fantasy and Book of the New Sun. But if you're not? Well there are no long essays explaining the setting or lore, everything you need to know and enjoy the world is tucked away inside the items, spell, enemies and backgrounds. Before you even realise it you'll be speaking weird fiction fluently.
