YOU CANNOT SAVE THIS WORLD
Red Giant is a rules-light Tabletop Role Playing Game influenced by media such as Vampire Hunter D, Berserk, Castlevania and Claymore. Red Giant aims to recreate the various themes, dynamics, and scenarios seen in these types of media and bring them to the table.
Red Giant is set in a world where the sun has expanded and bloomed into a cursed crismon light that bathes the world's surface, an enemy to those who still walk the planet. The arrival of this cursed sun causes ancient beings and horrors to become unearthed from their eternal sleep, left once again to roam the planet, destroying everything in their wake.
This game uses a unique system that fans of Over Arms and Ryuutama will find very familiar and has been structured in a way that provides a unique focus on the narrative and combat experience, while retaining the love of rolling dice across the table to determine the various outcomes of player decisions. Red Giant is very beginner friendly and caters to both newcomers and veterans of Tabletop RPGs alike. For those familiar with tabletop RPGs, Red Giant can be compatible with many OSR bestiaries, items, equipment, etc., requiring only minor tweaking and changes between the two.
