TROIKA! is a science-fantasy role-playing game where you and your cosmopolitan group of fellow travellers explore the ends of multiverse. You will fly on mystic barges, help dying gods, solve confounding crimes, plunder dead worlds, and meet strange & wonderful people.
With just one book and a couple of six-sided dice you'll be able to provide years of adventure for you and your friends.
TROIKA! is designed to be wonderous to play and simple to run. Its hundreds of character backgrounds allow anyone to dive right into the game with no prior knowledge of the setting, system or campaign and it's many published adventures make it easy to get started. With a few easy steps you and your players will have a grasp on the weird of the world and it will grow from there into something entirely your own.
The core book for TROIKA! has everything you need to start and stay playing for a long time: 36 backgrounds ranging from pond priests to lobotomised aristocrats, 70+ unique spells, 36 enemies each using our innovative Mien system, and 1 tutorial adventure to get you and your players comfortable in this bright new world And if one book isn't enough there is an enormous amount of supporting material, both official and fan-made, readily available from all respectable RPG outlets.
The world of TROIKA! will be instantly familiar to anyone who has enjoyed classic New Wave fantasy and sci-fi works such as Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, La Planete Sauvage, Dying Earth, Viriconium, Jerry Cornelius, Fighting Fantasy and Book of the New Sun. But if you're not? Well there are no long essays explaining the setting or lore, everything you need to know and enjoy the world is tucked away inside the items, spell, enemies and backgrounds. Before you even realise it you'll be speaking weird fiction fluently.

:capitaldcolon: my copy of Mao's quotations just fell off of the bookshelf and landed next to my head
Mao's warning me :sweat: gotta combat my liberalism
You reminded me of John McDonnell throwing Mao’s Little Red Book at the Tory chancellor :mao-wave: :long-corbyn:
The last politicians that I quoted, who have inspired me, are Nelson Mandela :mandela: and Martin Luther King :mlk-yes:, Keir Hardie – they’re the ones I tend to quote.
I haven’t quoted a communist before
:doubt: which is it?
I actually managed to revive w00t in my small group of friends. it's all sort of bathed in irony however
"Roxors boxors, pwnt!" Or "Lol omg wtg dairy queen lol omg bbtheq."
I heard "woot" originated as a phrase hackers would use to signal to each other that they'd made progress, since there was a concern the feds might be listening in and they needed something non-obvious.
The guys who did Everything Everywhere All At Once also directed the Turn Down For What music video. Which makes perfect sense, I just never thought of it before.
yeah, and swiss army man (the daniel radcliffe paul dano farting corpse movie)
Turn Down For Whammu? :approaching-1: :approaching-2:
I want to make Joe Biden do the ice bucket challenge, but with dry ice
Edit: this is not a violent post, I don’t want his suit to get wet. He’d have to get changed and miss an important presidential meeting if that happened. I’m operating in the interests of the American people
Why do people walk so heavy it sounds like there's a miniboss I need to defeat nearby
Hey folks! Guess who just got 8 hours of sleep and woke up at their desired time!? :this: person right here!
Half of all Chainsaw man cosplays are just an attractive person in a suit
Got a guy at work that seems like a bit
Super conservative but has pronouns in his email signature. Really fascinating ngl
extremely minor progress but LA will go from having less than 12 miles of bus lanes before 2020 to having over 30 miles in 2023
People praise communication skills, but as communication technology improved wars became more frequent and deadly.
:walter-shock: craft breweries when they make 84,971,204 shitty overhopped ipas instead of literally any other kind of beer and they go out of business
that astounds me about US beers. i was used to european breweries that make like 5 beers, and really only sell like 2 of them really well. you can find a craft brewery in the middle of nowhere USA that make 18 beers and none of them are good
:sadness: probably went bankrupt because their names weren't punny enough.
I finished Outer Wilds yesterday and still have not emotionally recovered from it, what a beautiful game. I won't say anything else to not spoil it if anyone hasn't played it
On a related note, 2019 was a stacked year in games: Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Pathologic 2, and Sekiro (best Fromsoft game) all came out that year
