ADD TO WISHLIST >

Worlds of imagination and adventure await you!

Important Edition Notes: This edition has been replaced by a Revised Edition. The new edition exchanges the settings from this edition with the entire contents of the True20 Companion and includes all known errata fixes and some rules clarifications.

With True20 Adventure Roleplaying you embark on journeys of the imagination, with heroes and stories you and your friends create. This book tells you everything you need to know to play an exciting adventure roleplaying game: how to create your own heroes, how to handle action and conflict, how to narrate adventures, and how to keep it all fair and fun.

True20 simplifies and streamlines the adventure roleplaying experience: everything is resolved using the same core system and all you need is a single 20-sided die to play! There's no bookkeeping of points, whether hit points, power points, or experience points. Game play is fast and furious thanks to innovations like the Toughness save damage system, based on the award-winning Mutants & Masterminds RPG. You can use True20 to model nearly any genre, from fantasy and historical to modern and scifi. The winners of Green Ronin's True20 Setting Search demonstrate this flexibility. These four, ready-to-play settings show the strength and adaptability of True20.

Plunge yourself into these fantastic worlds of adventure!

  • Soar on a magic carpet over minarets and domes, slip past the guards of the sultan's palace, and bargain with cunning and treacherous djinn in Caliphate Nights.
  • Sail the sea of stars past the great maelstrom to fantastic planets inhabited by a mix of alien races and humans from a dying Earth in Lux Aeternum.
  • Climb into the cockpit of your Tetsujin armored warrior to battle giant radiation-spawned monsters and keep your nation safe in Mecha vs. Kaiju.
  • Learn the secrets of the past, and how to manipulate the future, of the hidden struggles occurring in between ticks of the clock in Borrowed Time.

All this and more awaits you. If you want a fast, simple, and fun game system that's still familiar to players of the world's most popular RPGs, if you want a vehicle for traveling to new worlds of adventure, then True20 is for you! True fun, true excitement, true adventure...

True20!

A very good system. This is a hidden treasure among RPGs. Steve Kenson has taken the d20 system and boiled it down to its essentials in an easy to follow system that doesn't take away time from the gaming table to look up cumbersome rules. No more [...]

True20 is a streamlined, slimed down version of d20 that I think exceeds at providing all the good things you liked about OGL without the excess baggage. The game has only three classes (called roles) and really doesn't need any more, and most things [...]

A great generic rule system that allows you play any type of RPG game - from modern to the most bizarre of fantasies. It's minimal dependency on accessories and sourcebooks or additional rules make it really cheap on the wallet too. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
