Exemplar
Exemplar is a fast paced martial arts action role-playing game set in the distant future. As the noble houses of the Intersystem Government and Clergy squabble over ancient feuds, the shadowy Guild of Navigators bends an empire to its whim, and the Free Order struggles to throw off the yoke of IGAC oppression, how will your hero secure their place in history? This version of Exemplar — the game’s fifth incarnation — is compressed down into only two pages, including a full character sheet. Features d6 based opposed roll mechanics, unified conflict resolution, a pacing system that puts the plot into the hands of the players, and more information density than you can shake a stick at.
Exemplar is a role-playing game of martial arts fantasy set in the far future. Corrupt noble houses use an oppressive state religion, drugged diets, constant propaganda and the military might of the Marines Templar and Marines Justicar to keep the citizens of the Intersystem Government and Clergy (IGAC) under their control. Space travel is monopolized by the shadowy Navigator?s Guild, for their prescient psychics are the only human beings capable of guiding Warpships from one solar system?s Jump Point to another — the few independent worlds and planetary federations, and even the IGAC itself, have no choice but to submit to the Guild?s will. Conflict exists everywhere: free planets struggle to gain control of resources, IGAC nobles jockey for power, and the Free Order attempts to shrug off the yoke of IGAC oppression.
Players portray the Exemplar: those who, through natural talent or iron will and rigorous training, have obtained a measure of psychic proficiency. Exemplar are trained by the Guild, by the twin Marine Orders of the IGAC, and by sundry other traditions — the Exalted Knights of Sha, who use needles to manipulate the flow of life energy; the Brotherhood of Infiltrators, who mask their presences with psychic shields; and more.
