Breathless for grand space opera adventures
Renegades Preface
Renegades is a Breathless game set in a sci-fi used future where you play as rebels who want to overthrow an evil empire called the Federation. Inspired by Star Wars related medias, this was the first ever Breathless hack I did. This was published it in the scope of the first Breathless Jam in 2022.
Mechanically, this game diverges from Breathless in the following ways:
- There are no concepts of items, no looting, and no stunt mechanics.
- The game adds the declare a truth mechanic which gives a lot of narrative freedom to the player by allowing them to establish new facts in the fiction once per refocus (“catch your breath”).
- Players pick a certain type of character archetype, which determines the kind of die ratings they start with.
