VOID is a PnP RPG that is designed to test the limits of your imagination in ways not found in other tabletop games. We wanted to create a game that allowed players to have deeper exploration of their characters. We also wanted to approach combat as a realistic and gritty experience, where some wounds may never heal. VOID brings these aspects to life through interactive combat, free flow sorcery, and a classless system. In addition to these new concepts, we have also created simple mechanics so that rule-delving does not interrupt dungeon-delving (but there’s no shortage of geekery for those players who seek it)!
We have eliminated the restrictions of the traditional Class system (Thief, Fighter, Mage, etc.) so that you can create complex, realistic characters. Your character is built around four traits: Strength, Agility, Mental, and Sorcery. These traits contribute to your Stamina and Sanity, the two pools of life. Rather than classifying characters as only being good or evil, they are instead defined by their own complex belief system. These beliefs determine how characters interact within Aenar, the dark and dangerous world of VOID. This allows you to explore your own values and morality in order to quest beyond the conventional heroics, honor, and glory.
VOID Tabletop Roleplaying Game was founded by Jonathan Boydston and Joshua Robertson (with the help of several talented friends along the way). We are two ambitious writers and active tabletop gamers that have been creating nuances to existing games and creating new games since we were young. VOID is based on Aenar, an unexplored world that has been refined over the past ten years. We have used this world in other tabletop games, and finally decided that we needed a game that met the grit of our created world. VOID does have some similarities to other Fantasy Tabletop RPGs, such as the use of medieval style weapons and armor, fantastic races and creatures, and mechanics that reflect the use of magic. Many of these similarities were kept in place to ensure maximum enjoyment from each player’s gaming experience. The races and monsters that appear in VOID are based primarily upon the Slavic, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean mythological traditions.
