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.

Digital Alpha of the SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventurers, Kings, and Economics) TTRPG Full Rulebook is Published

The entire game is there, so while this is called an Alpha, no major sections are missing. I will be adding more monsters, 3–4 additional Archetypes, and one random table system. Most of the remaining work involves further editing, layout adjustments, and final touches on maps, icons, illustrations, and such. Probably will add some example snippets and lore snippets here and there.

So, what is SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventurers, Kings, and Economics)?
Like the slightly too descriptive name says, it's a game with domain management, company-scale warfare rules, an economy and trade system, which lead to navigation and sea battle rules. The Full Book is pretty large (about 515 pages in this Alpha stage; around 550 in the end) and includes the Asteanic World – a fully mapped and described gameworld with all sorts of adventure hooks. The world and the navigation and trade routes maps are also used in the overseas trade system.

And the Sorcerers and Adventurers part?
It's set in an early modern (gunpowder) fantasy world with magic that can be described as invisible magic – for example: sorcerers' souls leaving their bodies, people talking to and controlling animals, psychics controlling other humans, soulsmiths infusing part of their soul into weapons, and so on. It's there, almost everywhere, but you can live without noticing it, as there are no flashy spells; the magic is subtle.

There are also separate systems for dungeon crawling and hexcrawling.

The best way to access the Full Book today is through the Kickstarter late pledges: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1710384861/sake-sorcerers-adventures-kings-and-economics
The Full Book on Drivethru:

Also, there is a Basic Edition, but in the last year, I have updated and rewritten so much that it's really not up to date anymore. Still, it's free, and while finishing the Full Book, I plan to update it in the coming months, so you can download it now and get the updated version when I get to it:

Also-also, there are two adventures out for SAKE, which will probably help you start, as the game is quite crunchy:
Free domain scenario: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/485388/daimyo-of-storkway
and
Dungeon crawl in a city: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/468117/crime-districts-of-irongate (which is also better accessed now through Kickstarter)

Both take place in the Asteanic World.

Thank you!
