The game of SHARD is a paper RPG, a role-playing game that uses various books of rules and fiction, maps, character sheets, pencils, dice, and most importantly, the boundless imagination of the players and their Gamemaster to create the cinematic atmosphere of improvisational “theater of the mind” with rules! And it’s all set to be played by you and your group of friends around a table, or even in the comfort of your own living room.
Creating characters for the game is a step-by-step process that guides the player through choices meant to place each character firmly within the fiction of the world. SHARD offers several different “power-levels” of play from low to legendary, presents a huge variety of occupations from humble peasant to powerful lord, lets you choose between 90 different animals types of all shapes and sizes you can initially play, from mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, each with their own set of animal-based abilities, and that’s just the beginning! From there you select the many special talents, advantages, skills, and even drawbacks that help form each character as a unique individual with their own history to explore.
