Viator now has a sister game, Viator in Tenebris! Check it out here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Viator (meaning “Traveler” in Latin) is a rules-lite universal RPG system. Rules-lite means that it doesn’t rely on a huge book of rules; all you need to play is the two page core rulebook and a few six sided dice! Universal means that the game system can work in nearly any style or setting.  Also check out the eleven premade settings below for rich worlds and plenty of GM resources!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tower of Echoes, the newest suppliment, is a unique fixture within the Viator multiverse. Rather than being connected to the seven second-level worlds of other settings, the tower is an impossibly large megastructure deep within the Labyrinth where every floor is a world of its own. For the residents of 100 worlds, the tower is considered a legendary challenge, one where people can earn one wish from a god. With 100 floors and all of the puzzles, games, drama, and danger that it can fit, the tower has called out to you. So how high will you climb?

The Tower of Echoes contains:

  • Lore information about the tower, its history, and the competing forces of power within,
  • Player driven storytelling with optional rules for character-driven plot hooks,
  • Random generation tables to create floors of the tower on the fly, including its environment, surroundings, floor test, and native power system!
  • An in-depth power system that allows for freedom in abilities and powers between floors,
  • And example NPCs and enemies to use during play and inspire creativity!

Check out the full list of settings here!

The Tower of Echoes: A 100-level impossible challenge where each floor is a whole world of its own. Now that you've been chosen to take the test, how far will you climb?

Sanctuary: You've made it to the largest city in the solar system, Sanctuary! In order to achieve your goals, you'll have to explore the city, meet new people, and make deals that will test your resolve!

The Gilded Empire: A bright golden nation in decline, dealing with threats from both outside and within. Travel through the Sahara Desert or sail down the Niger River to see everything that this nation has to offer!

The Labyrinth: A classic dungeon-crawling experience set in an ever shifting maze. It can act as a standalone one-shot generator, or tie the other released settings together with multiversal lore and traveling rules!

Rainy Ruins: Play as post-apocalyptic scavengers in the ruins of Seattle, dealing with several factions each trying to rebuild society amidst flooding and radiation. Gather gear, loot supplies, and get ready to fight, because anything goes in the new world.

Norrvei: A rich setting of political intrigue and mysticism, where players navigate a Scandenatian nation caught between tradition and innovation. Players take on the role of the Blessed, following their dreams at the behest of a curious god.

The Mongolian Plains: Play as survivors navigating a desolate, war-torn world that's been ravaged by the Mongols. Exploration, alchemy, and resistance define this harsh, nomadic landscape, where bandits, monsters, and Mongol patrols are constant threats.

Starbound: You finally have a ship of your own, and you're off to see the stars! Take on dangerous jobs in order to upgrade your vessel and explore vast megacities, abandoned colonies, and mysterious Golden Age structures.

Bordeaux: Set in a single French city, players take on the role of rebels fighting back against the dystopia they find themselves in. Brain eating worms, hauty bourgeoisie, and electrified walls combine into a tense and dangerous story.

Shining Seas: Embark on an adventure across the Aegean Sea, fighting pirates, invading troops, and mythological monsters along the way. Use the random island generator to create hundreds of unique stops, as you search for treasure and deal with problems all across the sea.

Steel March: Suit up and get ready to hit the battlefield, as you play as members of the Holy German Army fighting back against Russian-created warbeasts. Earn your stripes as you go on deployments, and if you're lucky, you may be able to wear a Panzerframe into battle against building-sized beasts.

Spheres of Terror: A satire setting based on the 9/10/2024 presidential debate. It aims to answer one question: what would the world be like if everything Trump claimed was true?
