Fantasy Manifesto Book 1: System Core
Fantasy Manifesto blends traditional tropes with a modern character-driven narrative approach. Here, you have the power to build upon familiar concepts while enjoying infinite customization options. Our d20-based resolution system ensures that your adventures are narrative-rich and filled with suspense.
In the pages that follow, we embark on a journey through fantasy roleplaying, guided by a vision that seeks to honor cherished traditions while casting aside outdated conventions. This book is a testament to our enduring affection for the past, a heartfelt embrace of the evolving landscape of roleplaying design, and an unwavering gaze towards the horizon of what roleplaying can become.
Our foremost commitment is to empower both players and guides, granting them the boundless tools of creativity. No longer will they be confined to preordained rosters of character archetypes, narrowly prescribed forms of magic, a limited bestiary of creatures, or a fixed inventory of equipment. We liberate the imagination, placing it squarely in the hands of those who weave tales around the tabletop.
Gone are the days when roleplaying was tethered to its wargaming ancestry, reliant on violence as the dominant narrative force and the default solution to challenges. We reject this notion and herald the advent of alternative avenues for conflict resolution, fostering richer, more nuanced storytelling.
Central to our philosophy is the assertion that roleplaying is neither a game nor a set of inflexible rules, but an artistic and collaborative endeavor. It thrives not within the pages of books but in the vibrant exchange of ideas and narratives that transpire around the tabletop.
Recognizing that our principles echo the sentiments of others, we embrace the diversity of voices in the roleplaying community. We steadfastly refuse to let a single entity dominate this vibrant market, for it's through the tapestry of perspectives that roleplaying finds its truest essence. Together, we celebrate a renaissance of storytelling, where fantasy becomes a canvas for shared dreams and the future of roleplaying is as boundless as the imagination itself.
