Viator
A downloadable game
VIATOR HAS REBRANDED! Please enjoy the new colors, logo, and game art!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanctuary, the newest suppliment, is the biggest and busiest city in the solar system. Set atop modular engines that perpetually move across Jupiter, Sanctuary is home to one of the last known Lightforges. It is said that you can find anything your heart desires among the streets of Sanctuary, but in a city where goods can be made from sunlight, payments aren't always material. Now that you're here, what would you give up to achieve your goals?
Sanctuary contains:
- Information and history about Sanctuary, detailing its start as a small colony and describing how the Branden-Decker corporation rose to power,
- Player driven storytellin, with PC motivations baked into character creation,
- An infinitely expandable city thanks to modular boroughs that make up chunks of land, with six sample boroughs and rules to generate more,
- Random tables to create people, groups, and jobs that players might get asked to do,
- Optional rules for cybernetics and magic for you to style your city with if desired,
- Example NPCs and enemies to use during play and inspire creativity,
- And for the first time ever, COVER ART!

Check out the full list of settings here!
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?
