From the creative minds that brought you the mystical realms of Brambletrek and the dark corners of Covens of Midnight comes an epic new saga set in the divine world of Akeroth.
Welcome to Godborne, a brand new TTRPG where divine favour flows through all, and actions shape the fate of this world. Dive into a realm where your allegiance to deities dictates your power and your peril. Every decision echoes in the halls of the divine, as you harness the Favour of the gods or suffer their Burden.
Alongside the core rulebook, you can grab the exclusive 78 Card Tarot Deck Designed for the game! This deck will be 78 pieces of unique art printed on heavy stock tarot cards to give a smooth experience both in and out of game.
Are you drawn to the mysteries of the divine? In Godborne, you navigate a world where gods mingle with mortals and every choice intertwines with celestial destinies. Here, your actions are empowered by Tarot Cards - not dice, ensuring that your adventures through the mystical lands of Akeroth are filled with peril, promise, and the supernatural twists of fate.
In Godborne, your character is a vessel for the gods' will, capable of wielding vast powers that shape the cosmos. Whether you champion the Sun God Sifor with fiery might or employ the Moon God Ius's shadowy deceptions, your path is marked by the tarot along with easy-to-learn mechanics derived from the Powered by the Apocalypse System.
