Description

A tabletop roleplaying game where sacrifice is the only way forward, Ikaros gives each player a huge amount of control over whether to turn a failure into a victory... for a price. Rerolls and bonus dice hurt, and characters don't always have a lot of hurt they can take. When the only thing between you and a violent death is your guts, how much of your future are you willing to sell?

  • FATE-inspired system that uses a unified extra effort/metacurrency mechanic to force difficult decisions under pressure
  • Character creation in under fifteen minutes
  • Wide selection of included traits, spells, and monsters
  • Detailed injury tracking to ensure that solving problems with violence actually means something
  • Fast-paced system that gives the Guide and players tons of control over how the story develops without ever getting bogged down
  • Kickass art
