Player's Guide

Welcome to Worlds Awakening, a universe where imagination guides your adventures and forges memorable stories. This Player's Guide is the first step toward exploring fantastic worlds where every choice and every dice roll can change the fate of your character. Here is an overview of what awaits you:

You have always had the feeling that you don't truly belong to this universe. Everything around you seems strange, almost artificial. In search of answers, the world revealed itself to be even more absurd. The phenomena that others call urban legends, you call Disharmonies. Alleyways where passersby vanish, creatures that defy the laws of physics, technologies from a distant future... all of this is real, and strangely familiar. But why?

Embark on an exploration of the world, investigate these enigmatic phenomena, and track down Disharmonies alongside other Hunters. Together, unravel the mysteries of these anomalies to ultimately discover your true place in the universe.

What is a tabletop RPG? A tabletop role-playing game is a form of narrative game where you embody a character in a fictional universe. In *Worlds Awakening, chance and strategy are governed by the use of polyhedral dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20), which influence the outcomes of actions and decisions made by the players. Each dice roll adds an element of suspense and surprise, enriching the story developed collectively.

Before diving into this guide, know that there is also a Game Master's Guide. Although both works are complementary, the Player's Guide is essential for all participants, including the Game Master (GM), who will find additional resources in their guide to enrich the experience for everyone.

The game system of Worlds Awakening is hybrid: it is generic enough to adapt to almost any adventure, while offering specific elements such as ancestries, classes, outfits, and weapons. This unique blend allows for immediate immersion in predefined universes or complete customization of experiences. We will explore in the Game Master's Guide how to create your own content while preserving the balance of the system.

Furthermore, our website also offers an interactive Codex. The Codex, a complementary resource to the Player's Guide and Game Master's Guide, centralizes essential information about the universes where your adventures take place. It includes details on ancestries, classes, outfits, weapons, equipment, items, and creatures.

The rules are designed to provide a solid framework, but they are flexible: the ultimate goal is the enjoyment and engagement of all players. Feel free to adapt the mechanics to match your group's play style, keeping in mind that the essence of role-playing is collaboration, imagination, and shared fun.

Although it has its own universe, this lore is entirely optional. GMs can rely on these pre-existing elements or build their own world using the system's rules.
