The Republic is a game about seizing the means of production/violence and rising up against an oppressive hegemony. Specifically, in The Republic, the means of production/violence are cool mystical element bending powers.

The Republic draws a sharp line between the enfranchised members of it's society, Citizens, who are permitted to practice the arts of Element Bending, and the marginalised, non-citizens, who are not. Players are non-citizens who have nevertheless learned to bend the elements.

Play uses a central set of very broad #PBTA moves and a novel dice pool mechanic to tie your abilities to the essential nature of your character's personality.

The Republic was initially conceived between myself, @lumpley@dice.camp and Mark Redacted as part of the Threeforged design competition run by @PaulCzege@dice.camp and then I've rewritten and refined it since then. It's still in early access

@wundergeek@dice.camp hi Ash! I'm Ash! I'm a trans lesbian living in Stockholm trying to finish a bunch of #ttrpg projects that I've let languish in a Good Enough Early Access state for years. I tend to build #pbta and #fitd games with strong emphasis on systems design. You can find most of my games on https://acegiak.itch.io #itchio
