One System, Any Setting!

Heroes and Hardships is a skill-based D10 dice pool RPG system that will support any setting or story you can imagine! Heroes and Hardships is built for heroic adventure and deadly campaigns!

The Heroes and Hardships Quickstart Guide contains everything you need to start playing in a vast number of different settings. This fully illustrated 96-page book could be used as a fully realized RPG on its own, but offers only a fraction of what you will find in the Heroes and Hardships Core Ruebook to come. 

The Heroes and Hardships Quickstart Guide includes:

  • Character creation rules and options;
  • Detailed rules for deadly combat, including the Heroes and Hardships' innovative Action Point system, as well as over 30 offensive and defensive combat actions;
  • Dozens of skills and abilities;
  • Nearly a hundred wound effects;
  • Dozens of weapons and pieces of armor from across multiple genres;
  • A bestiary of adversaries to get you started;
  • A fully linked table of contents, a fully bookmarked PDF, and an index;
  • A five page character sheet;
  • And much more!

Grab a handful of d10s and form your dice pool; epic adventures await!

I have now played with this system a few times and I love it. Have purchased most of the HnH rules and supplements.

I'd play this if the rolling mechanic were different. No way I'm going to do, for example, five addition operations and a subtraction to find out add result.

Andrew,

Thanks so much for reading the QSG!

Yes, this is built on a Roll & Keep system similar to L5R, 7th Sea, and A Song of Ice and Fire. You have to add each die. 1,000s of hours of playtest has shown this is not a hinderance to actual gameplay, but we understand people have preferences. I really appreciate your feedback and taking a look.

Sure, Jason, you're welcome. I meant no dig at the your work, which looks great. I'm just casting about for a system to commit to and a main resolution mechanic with minimal calculation is a big part of it for me.

Oh, it is not a problem. Not every system is for every person. I am very happy to have people check out the game in earnest, so I am thankful for you taking a look!

This seems really good. How far away is the full core rulebook?

The plan is for a early 2021 Kickstarter. There's a lot that will go into the book and it is likely to be a sizeable book. That being said, almost all the sub-systems are designed and under play test.

We've slipped a bit, but focusing in on the fall. I think it is a realistic goal, and the fulfillment of at least the digital book will be shortly after.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
