Introduction
Chronicles of Valoria
Welcome to the Chronicles of Valoria, a rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game of high adventure in a realm where heroes rise against ancient threats. In this land of fractured kingdoms, untamed wilds, and forgotten ruins, your choices will shape the fate of a world teetering between order and chaos.
Chronicles of Valoria uses simple d6 dice pool mechanics for most actions—roll a handful of six-sided dice and count your successes to overcome challenges. Character growth comes through meaningful experiences rather than grinding for experience points.
What sets this game apart is its unique approach to magic. While martial characters excel through weapon mastery and skill, magic-users harness power through a standard deck of playing cards, with each suit representing a different magical tradition and each face card embodying a different spell. This creates a dynamic, unpredictable casting system that ensures magic always holds an element of chance and strategy.
Whether you prefer the straightforward approach of blade and bow, or the tactical versatility of a spellcaster drawing from their magical repertoire, Chronicles of Valoria offers something for every type of adventurer. Gather your companions, ready your dice (and perhaps a deck of cards), and write your own chronicle in the storied land of Valoria!
