Shattered Dawn is a story driven game, where players may create and play their own characters in an expansive fantasy world. Shattered Dawn is not like other games, the rules and gameplay have been carefully crafted to be simple, fast-paced and allow for new players, and veteran players, alike to fully enjoy the lore and narrative without having to constantly focus on rules. This is a tabletop role-playing game that is designed to be easy for new people, but allows for increased complexity based on play style. The gameplay system challenges the traditional archetypes of character creation and party roles. Our classless system allows for complete customization of every aspect of your character and allows characters to learn new things at any point. Shattered Dawn’s advancement system challenges the meta of party dynamics. Rogues do not have to wield daggers, mages can wear full plate armor, and berserkers can unleash a fury of spells. Shattered Dawn uses a custom d100 based system that focuses on quick combat and rolling to allow the storytelling to prevail. Many of the games mechanics and system are useful tools to empower storytelling, rather than storytelling being subject to the rules themselves.
