A downloadable playbook pack

This is a set of custom playbooks for Chasing Adventure (https://chasingadventuregame.com/), a PbtA fantasy roleplaying game.

The playbooks are:

  • The Warrior, a practical fighter who values victory over fairness.
  • The Luminary, a mage who manipulates light and searches for knowledge.
  • The Accursed, a grim adventurer hounded by supernatural forces.
  • The Commander, an inspiring leader who isn't afraid to charge into danger.
  • The Sage, a thinker with great knowledge and many contingency plans.
  • The Elementalist, a keeper of places and spirits who harnesses their power.
  • The Weaver, a subtle spellcaster who toys with the threads of fate.
  • The Professional, a respectable criminal who few would dare to cross.
  • The Outsider, a determined traveler from far away.

These playbooks started as a sort of "remix" of classic fantasy archetypes. There's ideas from the Fighter, Wizard, Thief, and more here, but they've been shuffled, re-combined, and re-imagined into different classes with different baked-in assumptions. The Thief is in the mafia now, the Bard leads the charge while the Fighter sneaks around behind the enemy, and the Wizard doesn't cast spells but the Barbarian sure does.

The first download package contains text files for each class, plus a spreadsheet-character-sheet (in both .xlsx and .ods format). The second download is just the text files. Finally, you can find a Google Sheets version (with some minor extra features) at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h0miU5Eu-t_uDjP-GheaCeOIXKRVUchUV1BxYOOb... - you can make a copy of it for your own use.
