SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's The Game About
SAKE is a modular point-buy TTRPG that blends strategy game elements and gives you the opportunity to embody powerful rulers, savvy merchants, fearless adventurers, mad sorcerers, or priests with pacts with strange gods. All at the same time!

SAKE is perfect for those who love to build and create, as you can transform your dungeon loot into grand castles and establish your own domains, fleets, or armies alongside your unique characters.

SAKE includes:

A robust system for managing domains and generating adventures around them.
A system for engaging in trade and shipping, complete with all the associated intrigues and risks.
A system for large-scale battles, complete with troops, sieges and more.
An abundance of random tables for generating events, dungeons and adventures.

Core Mechanics

SAKE uses a standard 7-dice set (d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, d20).
Most rolls are made with a d20 (skill checks, attack rolls, spell rolls, etc.).
Point buy. During play, PCs can earn Experience Points (EXP), which they can use to purchase Skill Ranks, abilities, Health Points, spells, etc.
Experience Points can be gained through gameplay events and the personality traits of a player character. At the end of each game session, the Game Master (GM) and the players evaluate how much EXP was earned. The amount of EXP earned is individual.
Hex crawls and dungeon crawls are divided into turns. During each turn, each PC has one action. In addition, the skills and abilities of the PCs combine to form the group's overall capability, from which Opportunities and Hazards arise.
To prepare a dungeon or hex crawl, the GM fills out a dungeon or region sheet. These sheets have several parts that are already pre-filled with general ideas of what may happen during the adventure, which speeds up and simplifies the GM's work.
Combat is divided into 10-second rounds, during which each character has one Action and one Reaction. The order of Actions is determined at the beginning of combat.
Reactions can only be used during an opponent's Action to disrupt them (for example shooting when an opponent moves).
Attack and Parrying are determined by opposing rolls.
Armour provides Damage Reduction.
Magic functions similarly to other skills. You can advance your mastery in magic schools (skills) by acquiring ranks, spells are individual Abilities that must be obtained individually.

Happy gaming!
