ROME: THE HISTORICAL ROLE-PLAYING GAME

Step Into the Eternal City—A World of Power, Intrigue, and the Supernatural

ROME—a city of endless ambition, divine will, and untold dangers. At the height of its glory, it is the beating heart of civilization, where senators and generals shape the fate of nations, where merchants trade fortunes under the shadow of the Colosseum, and where whispered spells and divine omens hold as much power as swords. It is a city of gods and men, of conquerors and the conquered, of unseen forces shaping every triumph and tragedy.

Now, you have the chance to step into its bustling streets, navigate its treacherous politics, and carve your name into history.

This 550-page tabletop role-playing game is not just another historical setting—it is a gateway into an ancient world teeming with ambition, danger, and mysticism. Whether you are a seasoned role-player or a newcomer to the genre, this game invites you to immerse yourself in the splendor and squalor of Rome, to scheme in the halls of power, survive the cutthroat backstreets, and perhaps even earn the favor of the gods themselves.

A Game of Intrigue, Combat, and Mysticism

This is not a world of fireball-hurling wizards or elves roaming enchanted forests. Magic in Rome is far more subtle—a whispered curse that dooms an enemy, an enchanted amulet offering divine protection, a sacred oath that binds fate itself. It is the magic of the real ancient world, drawn from folk traditions, religious rites, and the power of belief.

Will you rise as a senator, shaping the Republic with your words? A ruthless gladiator fighting for glory? A cunning merchant securing your fortune? A priest deciphering the will of the gods? Every decision shapes your destiny, and in Rome, even the smallest choice can tip the scales of fate.

A TTRPG Like No Other

• A Vast, Living Rome: Every street, forum, temple, and alleyway is alive with opportunity and danger. From the majestic palaces of the elite to the slums of the Subura, every corner of the city holds its own stories, mysteries, and threats.

• A Unique 1d100 System: Built for tactical depth and narrative freedom, the game’s mechanics reward clever play, risk-taking, and character growth. Skill rolls are not just about success or failure—they shape the flow of the story.

• Historically Inspired Mysticism: Magic exists, but it is woven into daily life—in the form of omens, blessings, rituals, and curses. An angry god’s wrath is real, as is the power of a name spoken in the wrong place at the wrong time.

• True Character Depth: Craft a character with unique strengths and weaknesses. Your background, ambitions, and personal choices matter. A former slave might rise to power through cunning, while a nobleman might fall from grace due to a single misstep.

• Politics, Combat, and Deception: Play a charismatic orator swaying the masses, a fearless warrior carving your way through battle, or a shadowy manipulator pulling strings from behind the scenes. The choice is yours.

• Immersive Storytelling: Designed for deep roleplay and high-stakes decision-making, this game is perfect for players who love both strategy and narrative-driven adventures.
