Allow me to introduce you to Slayers.
Slayers is a monster hunting RPG that takes place in a cursed, infinitely expanding city. Each class has a unique mechanic, so every player at the table has their own special experience?

You like classes. You& #39;ve got your bards, wizards, fighters. It& #39;s nice having a thing you& #39;re good at!
Slayers also has classes. Blades are fast sword fighters, Tacticians control the battlefield.
The best part? You could invent a class for Slayers, in minutes. Go beyond the book

Mechanics? D&D is comfortable, it& #39;s roll d20+modifier.
But, you& #39;re a wizard, you bend reality. Your friend is a fighter, wielding a legendary weapon.
Shouldn& #39;t your core mechanical experience be different, to represent those different roles you play?
Enter Slayers.

Enter Slayers.
Blades use an exploding dice rule to represent combos, arcanists use a push your luck mechanic for tapping into their powers.
The tactician is literally swapping dice around the whole fight.
Every class feels and plays differently, and that& #39;s the good shit right there.

Fair! Slayers is more that urban fantasy thing. But the game takes place in an infinitely expanding city, so there is no reason you couldn& #39;t have some neighborhoods that scratch that old school fantasy itch you have.

DnD is a good combat game, that& #39;s what the rules support! Slayers is also a combat focused game, but streamlines a lot of the experience to keep things moving.
Slayers combat is fast, and lethal, and we& #39;re not whittling down 100+ HP pools here.

"Why would I play anything other than DnD, I can just hack it?"
That& #39;s a whole other convo. BUT, Slayers is wildly hackable as well! Just check out the Slayers Jam, and look at all the incredible classes, monster, and setting material folks made. https://itch.io/jam/slayers-jam ">https://itch.io/jam/slaye...

"I just don& #39;t have the time to learn a new ruleset".
I get that, totally. But I promise you, the rules of Slayers are a fraction of DnD& #39;s, and they literally all revolve rolling any dice and hoping it rolls a 4+.
That& #39;s it, 4 and above is good, everything below is bad!

I think Slayers can be a #DnD killer. It scratches the class-based monster slaying experience a lot of folks look to 5E for, but with a lot of the baggage sliced away.
Infinitely hackable, unique experiences. Try Slayers today! https://gilarpgs.itch.io/slayers ">https://gilarpgs.itch.io/slayers&q...
