This preview gives you access to the full first chapter of the game, which details how to create the City and the Travelers!

BROKEN CITIES launches February 21st on Kickstarter—click here to get notified! BROKEN CITIES is a diceless, GMless tabletop RPG in which players take the role of Travelers coming to a City with adventurous goals in mind, while the City wants to convince them to go through the sacrifice needed to fix it. Its base version requires 2 to 5 players (though the game also includes a solo variant), for one-shots of 3-4 hours requiring very little preparation.
