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.

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.
