Let Thrones Beware is a roleplaying game about rediscovering hope in a post-traumatic fantasy world.



Despite its strength, the Eternal Kingdom of Man is no more, accidental victim of the very power it wielded to conquer your world. Bowed but not broken, the indigenous species that survived the brutal thousand-year occupation fled to the far corners of Argohex.



Despite your freedom, there is danger. Horrors stalk the Deep Wood in which you and your kin shelter. Isolated, vulnerable villages quake in the darkness, hoping they are overlooked by what lurks in the trees.



Despite the danger, you must end the Age of Despair. The rebirth of Argohex awaits and now is the time for you to step forward and restore what was lost.



Features of Let Thrones Beware include:

A setting that challenges heroes to restore their world, shattered and broken by an otherworldly invasion

A universal resolution mechanic that uses attack/counter/interrupt powers

Gridded tactical combat and abstracted non-combat systems

A codified adventure cycle where success and failure have meaningful effects on the campaign

Stronghold and Domain management

Mass combat

Character portability between tables

You want to take a look at this if you ...

... like character building, but dislike item treadmills and fiddly feat choices

Game Principles

All players are equally capable of affecting the game narrative, no matter the combination of choices they make

Choices must be purposeful; a decision must have a significant mechanical impact, otherwise the details should be considered fluff and left to the player to define

The game should run on a unified mechanic that is simple, but allows for progression as characters develop

Combat and skill challenges must be crunchy but fast to run – and easy to adjudicate

This product includes the Let Thrones Beware core rulebook, a printable character sheet, and Bells of War, an introductory adventure for your table.
