Seeds of Rebellion

The streets are cold. The air tastes of metal. The buildings spew smog and drool oil. Sewage runs in underground rivers. Unblinking lights keep glimmering eyes fixed on the muted crowds, and metal walks upright, dispensing order with blade and gun barrel. It wasn't always like this. We know that. We have memories of a better world, and they give us the power to fight back.

Seeds of Rebellion is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-6 players. In it, you will play as freedom fighters opposing a fascist regime that suppresses art and spirituality in favor of raw efficiency and numb, unblinking servitude. With the help of the outlawed magic and suppressed empathy, turn emotion and memory into your sword and shield to fight against the triad tyrannies of fascism, capitalism, and primordial eldritch evil.

Seeds of Rebellion features 5 Archetypes, exploring different motivations for rebellion:

The Edge is driven by spite, pain, and retribution. Play an Edge to be on the front lines and fight back with direct and painful action.
