Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

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!

Is there a printer friendly version? The pages on the low res version are shaded and is eating thru my printer ink.

What would you need, the background to be removed? I can upload a new version without background, if that would help. I didn't think it would print out, my printer ignores that type of faded background, unless I print with a higher setting.

I'm really sorry I never replied to your message, I was simply not notified. I thought you no longer needed that, and since I'm extremely busy and working on a million projects at once, I simply forgot about this. I apologize, but like I said, DTRPG never sent me any notifications and I don't check the comment section out of the blue. I'll upload that version today.

No worries! And once again, I didn't get notified of this comment you just posted either, I just came to check and saw it. I do not understand why I'm not getting notified about new comments... The site is really buggy lately.

How compatible is this with other OSR products? Looking at the quickstart, it looks pretty different.

It started off as a DCC hack, so I'd say very compatible. It uses the same rules, it's Ability-based, has the same saving throws as DCC, and even though it deviates in class progression and power level, I'd say it's pretty easy to adapt things from other OSR games into this one, and vice versa.

Okay, how do the ascendencies/weird powers work? Are they like spells? God bound powers?

Hi. The cover looks great. Can we get a more in depth preview that actually shows something of the book? Maybe the table of contents?

Apologies for that! I'll fix it now. In any case, if you go to my website you can download the free quickstart!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
