THE GAME
SOCIAL CONTRACT
NOTE
This is the first version, and while this system has many
similarities to 5th Edition, one way that it differs is that it hasn’t
been playtested by hundreds of thousands of people. We
encourage the DM to nudge the players’ experience toward
interesting outcomes and make adjustments, rule swaps, and
homebrew additions/deletions on the fly to keep a balanced,
but challenging environment.

CHAPTER 2: RACES

UNIT STATISTICS
TYPE
On Race
This book uses extant D&D lore as a starting point to let you
develop military forces with unique playstyles and flavor.
Descriptions about these fantasy cultures are based on
archetypes that, even when unintentionally offensive, can
oversimplify real people and cause unintended insult. DMs are
encouraged to make space for players to create their own
unique and diverse cultures. Players should be free to buck
conventions, ignore the stock text if it doesn’t align with their
vision, and create their own types. The only hard and fast rule
is that everyone must respect each other while adhering to the
social contract to ensure everyone is having a good time.
On Alignment
Similarly, we have removed alignment as a descriptor. The sum
total of your realm’s moral and legal outlook will be
demonstrated though your actions and such a classification
has no bearing on any game mechanics.

CHAPTER 4: FOUNDING
C d6
1
Virtue
Injustice must be defeated at any cost, even if that
cost is paid for in blood.
2 Strength of will is the determining factor of a nation’s
success.
3 Our ways may seem harsh to outsiders, but we are, in
fact, following a noble code of behavior.
4 We bear a strict loyalty toward our own but we tolerate
VIRTUES AND VICES no transgressions if that loyalty is broken.
5 Our people are resourceful and are capable of turning
bad fortune into a rousing success.
6 Our people may seem untrusting, but we can sniff out
liars well before they begin speaking.
D6 Vice
1 Our people believe morality is for the weak.
2 It is up to those who want power to take it and only
those who deserve power will keep it.
3 Objects, wealth, and treasure have no owner; things
ASSASSINATION 4
are only possessed through the use of force.
A person is only worth their last victory. If they fail,
there is no leniency for past success.
5 Corruption is a normal part of life and we may as well
learn to live with it.
6 Dishonesty is not a moral failing, it is simply a different
flavor of communication.

CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE
d6 Virtue
1 We do not instigate conflict without a strong and
articulatable casus belli.
2 It is important to protect those weaker than ourselves.
Doing so is its own reward.
3 What our people do is a better indicator of their spirit
than in the flowery speeches others make.
4 We have no patience for pomp and ceremony; a
simple life is a virtuous life.
5 We believe hard work and perseverance is the
cornerstone of happiness.
6 We take great interest in our history and as a means of
preserving who we are as a people.
D6 Vice
1 Our people often arrogantly believe themselves to be
better than neighboring realms.
2 Our realm often gets involved in the business of
others, even if doing so causes more problems.
3 Once our people get an idea in their heads, it’s nearly
impossible to get them to move on.
4 Our realm often puts as much effort into ignoring its
shortcomings as it does extoling its successes.
5 Our people and government are slow to trust
outsiders.
6 Our people value quick fixes to problems over well-
thought out long-term solutions.
COLONIAL DIVESTMENT

d6 Virtue CULT OF PERSONALITY
1 Absolutely no one tells us what to do.
2 When anyone is similarly oppressed, our realm feels a
deep obligation to make things right.
3 Our people are self-reliant.
4 Our realm solves its problems with simple, clear, and
reasonable solutions.
5 The vast, untouched reaches of our realm are teeming
with unexplored diversity that we are eager to explore.
6 Our people have a supernatural patience and their
decisions are based on maximizing the fortunes of
three or four generations down the line.
D6 Vice
1 We have a strong inclination to isolationism,
potentially ignoring injustices and tragedies. d6 Virtue
2 We have a tendency to view neighboring realms as 1 Our people share a strong bond with strangers and

held as sacrosanct. 6 We tend to be an optimistic people who are always
searching for the best light to view motivations.
D6 Vice
1 Those who do not subscribe to our particular brand of
populism are immediately cast out of institutions and
shunned from society.
2 The leader’s word is never questions, and all manner of
excuses will be made when they make mistakes.
3 We are quick to gossip and spread rumor.
4 When art deviates from a standard pattern, we are
quick to dismiss it.
5 Our culture rewards quick rich schemes and easy paths
to fame, such that the commoners rebuke hearty work.
6 The average citizen of our realm easily succumb to a
wild tale and believes the craziest nonsense almost
unquestioningly.
PEOPLE’S REVOLT

d6 Virtue D6 Vice
1 Egalitarianism is everyone’s goal. 1 The wisest should not be questioned.
2 We are accustomed to speaking truth to power, even if 2 People are generally epicurean meat puppets and

reward those who deliver success.
RELIGIOUS APPOINTMENT
D6 Vice
1 Those who do not share the dominant party view are
shunned or worse.
2 The desire for power is ingrained in us and there’s little
doubt that what lead to the revolution will happen
again.
3 We may overreact in our efforts to expunge the old
ways, treating anything from before the revolution as a
lingering attack on the culture.
4 Our people often take the law into their own hands,
leading to disastrous results.
5 We see violence as a perfectly acceptable means to an
end.
6 We are prone to long bouts of apathy and tend to
reinforce the status quo, even when doing so is clearly
against our self interest.
PHILOSOPHER MONARCHS d6 Virtue

1 The most compelling argument for our faith is in how
we practice it.
2 We always remember that there is room for
improvement.
3 We have placed an honest trust in our god(s) and
genuinely do our best to honor their wishes.
4 We are tolerant of other faiths and can easily see how
differing values compliment our own.
5 Our religious traditions are what keep us unified as a
people but we are not so stubborn as to refuse to
adapt to a changing world.
6 Nothing is so lost as to not be worthy of salvation.

4 Our independence leads to the pursuit of many
ROYAL BLOODLINE creative and artistic endeavors.
5 No offense is ever taken lightly and all debts, both
financial and personal, are eventually repaid.
6 The mantle of leadership comes and goes, but what
matters is survival.
D6 Vice
1 The only claim to authority that counts comes from
whoever is holding the blade.
2 The people are easily persuaded by the thinnest of
rumor.
3 Those working behind the scenes have the will and the
means to enact dangerous conspiracies.
4 Crime and sin from the realm’s leadership is often
ignored because the people have become exhausted
by continued corruption.
d6 Virtue 5 We believe a crime only exists if the person is caught,

5 Our people show a great love of art and ensure that
even the most practical tools, food, and utilitarian
objects are crafted with superb beauty.
6 We make great sacrifices of ourselves to maintain the
stability of the realm.
D6 Vice
1 Anyone who questions tradition is clearly an upstart
looking to make trouble.
2 Our class stratification is extreme and those without
means are barely considered citizens.
3 We are an exceptionally arrogant people.
4 A person’s profession in life is almost entirely
determined by their parents’ profession.
5 We prefer to ignore misdeeds by the Crown instead of
facing national embarrassment.
6 Legal decisions are made automatically based on d6 Virtue
tradition with little room for mitigating context. 1 We work hard but never to exhaustion.
2 We encourage lateral thinking and innovation.

5 We ensure that the money earned from our enterprises

value education to unlock that potential.
D6 Vice
