Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate is an epic Role-Playing Game of cosmic adventure and power cultivation inspired by the LitRPG genre. In it, players play as Ascendants, powerful characters that due to a combination of talent, luck and sheer determination have become the de-facto rulers of their nations. Unfortunately for them, this means little in the cosmic scale, and they quickly find out that they are at the bottom of the power ladder. Their planet has just been introduced to the Path of Ascendancy by the Ruthless Heavens, and as such the rest of the Nolurian Sector is now aware of its existence. It falls to them to become strong enough to protect their homeland, exploring the sector for new opportunities while sending them resources so they can eventually be strong themselves. Through hard work and fortuitous encounters they will have the chance to do so, while reaching new heights of power and cultivation.

Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate features:

  • A robust, D20 ruleset compatible with most OSR systems and games.

  • A gazetteer of the Nolurian Sector, exploring the main locations of interest, such as the Wandering City of Yeross, the different factions and their conflicts, and the motivations behind the mysterious cosmic force known as the Ruthless Heavens.

  • Detailed character creation, with 5 different original ancestries, 8 classes, 10 unique lineages, random background generation, and rules to improve your soul, body, and bloodline, which are at the core of character progression.

  • A unique skill system with 100 different powers that you can personalize and evolve, combining into your signature power set. Tired of a skill? Swap it for a different one!

  • Living Weapon rules to find and evolve your unique artifact, feeding it different resources that you must gather during your travels across the Nolurian Sector, and tailoring its powers to your specific wants and needs.

  • Different pre-made locations such as Trials, Hunting Grounds, or Divine Decrees, for you to explore and investigate, each with their different challenges, events, encounter tables, and more.

  • Hexploration rules to randomly generate different locations across different planets. 

  • Rules to expand your settlement between adventures, with a collection of buildings and facilities that grant your character a series of benefits. 

  • The most exhaustive collection of solo rules and tools ever found in a Blackoath game, allowing you to play the game solo or co-op!
