Welcome to the third playtest for The New Unknown!
Playtest Volume 3.0 is the third, final, and by far our largest playtest: 50 pages of new content... and this is still a small fraction of what you can except in the final release of TNU!
It includes the brand-new Hollow class and the brand-new Nibiru domain, both of which were successfully unlocked as Stretch Goals during our Kickstarter Campaign. And as the biggest new addition, this playtest provides the first look at The New Unknown’s ship-building system. Here as well, we’ve limited ourselves to showing only a small selection of the available options.
The New Unknown is a full science-fiction Core Rulebook for Daggerheart™ Compatible
It works as a stand-alone TTRPG system using and building onto the core mechanics of Daggerheart's freely available SRD, providing you with everything you need to start your own science-fiction roleplaying campaign!
We are still accepting late pledges on our Kickstarter Campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1981524065/the-new-unknown-a-sci-fi-role-playing-game
We already relased Playtest 1.0 and 2.0 - in this third playtest we show you completely new material:
- 4 Classes (including the totally new Hollow),
- 5 Subclasses,
- 6 Ancestries,
- 3 Communities,
- 5 Domains (up to level 3),
- Adversaries,
- and a Sneak Peek into our Ship-Building-System with it's own cards!
