Chimaera -A Biopunk TTRPG-

!!!Chimaera is still in development... So have a read of the dev logs and get excited. Playtest rules are released!!!

Chimaera is a hack and slash roleplaying game set in a biopunk world, where instead of fighting with sword and shield or casting magic, one must mutate their body with all manner of crude biological weaponry. Tack on extra limbs and become the arachnid monstrosity. Alter your brain and become a psychological freak. Will you tear through your enemies claiming their parts into a mound of trophies worn on your back, or will you carefully select what parts are sanitary to become a keen and precise instrument of death?

What Does A Session Look Like?

A group of 2-6 friends (or enemies) will create a Mutated creature that they will play during a session. The GM will play the many adversaries and situations that the Mutated will encounter. Play will see players collecting Body Parts, throwing away Broken ones and gaining all sorts of defects and issues. The Mutated can engage in brawls, espionage, politics, crawl through caves to fight evil slugs, or brave frigid mountains where frostbite causes their limbs to drop off.

A usual session will see the Mutated asked to help with a problem plaguing the area. Upon further investigation the Mutated will need to overcome dangerous weather, crazy creatures and unhelpful citizens. The source of the problem will be the Ghastly Mutated, a dangerous beast with overwhelming mutagenic power. The Mutated may attempt to bring an end to the Ghastly Mutated, either defeating it in glory or failing and cowering away licking their wounds.

The Mutated will pull off amazing tricks, epic fights and nasty interactions. Just as the Mutated build their character from different Body Parts, they will fight horrid beasts that will tear those Body Parts to shreds. Combat will see the players grasping and fusing new Body Parts to overcome threats and Obliterate or Sever the Body Parts of the intimidating creatures they face. The arsenal of the Mutated may look entirely different post-battle, as their Body Parts are forged through the fight.
