What is this game about?
Tempora is a roleplaying game about time travel, consequences, and choices.
Players take the roles of people who travel through time – by choice, by accident, or under orders. Their motivations vary: fixing the future, treasure hunting in the past, escaping something in their own time, or simply sightseeing in the Jurassic. Time is both a frontier and a maze, and those who step into it must navigate their own way through.
The world of Tempora is based on science fiction, but not bound to any single genre. You might find here shadowy organizations, underground networks, and lone operatives who cross the time for profit, purpose, or redemption. Sometimes for a reason. Sometimes out of courage. Sometimes because no one else can.
Whether you're fixing the future, exploring lost eras, rewriting your own past, or pulling off a perfectly-timed heist, Tempora gives you the tools to reshape history.
But time pushes back. Every change creates echoes.
You can’t visit the past without bringing some of it with you.

Tempora was inspired by a wide array of iconic time-travel stories. Among them are the Back to the Future movies, the series Quantum Leap, and Doctor Who. The game also draws from the works of classic science fiction authors, such as Clifford D. Simak, Ray Bradbury, and many others.
