Welcome to my home table ttrpg rules I'm dubbing: The Radiant Hack. This game is a traditional tabletop role-playing game, played with paper, pencils and dice.

What is this game?

The Radiant Hack is a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG): a game where Players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting, guided by a set of rules and a game master (GM) who narrates the story and oversees gameplay.

How does it work?

Players describe their characters' actions, and the outcomes are often determined by rolling dice and using stats.

The imaginary world that the Players will explore is populated by a cast of Creatures. The rules define Creatures as being one of the two following types:

  • Characters controlled by the Players.
  • Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and Monsters that are created and controlled by the GM.

The Players’ roles in the game are straightforward but not necessarily easy! They will be presented with a scene in which they describe in Turn what their Characters do, rolling dice to determine the outcome of their Actions.
