Breathless Quest
A downloadable game
AUGUST 23 2025 - ENGLISH REVAMPED RULES UP!
Join a memorable, obscure fantasy journey!
Breathless Quest pairs really well with both my rules compendiums: the universal Breathless Mods (adding a plethora of new options for all of your games based on the Breathless SRD by Fari RPGs) and the newly arrived Classes, Talents and Items add on, featuring indexed class concepts, with related abilities and item use tips!
Breathless Quest features a compact, setting-free ruleset for adventuring, with a sword & sorcery flare. The system includes:
👉 the Quest Die to track how difficult the adventure is going to be
👉 Edges to track favours, status and special boons
👉 A simple classe system with two added classes with the newest update, for a total of six: the Avenger, the Druid, the Mage, the Necromancer, the Traveller and the Warrior! Each Class grants a Skill and a unique Knack (like the Druid ability to turn into a beast!)
👉 Additional pages and tips to cooperate during the World Building process and guidelines to model Quests, Hubs and hooks!
You can create your character in seconds and evolve it in unexpected directions by adding Edges, gaining new Knacks or even diegetic advancements such as titles!
‼️ The Printer Friendly Core Rules are now available as a DEMO: as the former rules, they are a complete game featuring the core rules with 4 classes !
THANKS FOR ANY KIND SUPPORT YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE!
