Rough thieves raiding the Serpent Cult. Elite commandos kidnapping an enemy officer. High-tech space marines fighting for their lives in a deadly bug hunt. Create and play these scenarios and more with the Chimera RPG® Core Rules, a lightweight framework that can translate your favourite books, movies, TV shows, historical periods, and comics into table-top games in record time.

Easy to learn and optimised for fast play, the Chimera Core contains everything you need to run games in any real or make-believe setting you can imagine. Create custom characters or archetypes using Chimera’s modular races, classes, abilities, perks, and flaws. Inject magic, miracles, psionics, or weird science with our universal powers model. Decide combats in minutes with a resolution system that accounts for wounds, weakness, and one-shot kills.

Chimera also contains unique guidelines for creating settings and adventures that takes you from creative impulse to gaming table in a matter of hours. Run the game you want with minimum preparation so you can make the most of your precious gaming time.

Download includes:

  • 64-page rulebook
  • Character sheet
  • Adventure template 
  • 3 Hex templates (atlas, regional, and local scales)
  • 3 Blast templates (small, medium, and large)
  • 3 Cone templates (small, medium, and large)

The Chimera RPG® Core Rules was first introduced as an extension of the “Chimera Basic Rules” titled "Chimerapedia Core" in 2011. With the deprecation of the Chimerapedia format in 2018, this revised and updated edition of the Core rules is considered the canonical source for the entire Chimera RPG® product line.

Question: page 62, Settlement. Should there be some override to make sure an atlas hex doesn't have a lone village as its point of interest?

Hi Charles,
When you create your setting map, it contains 5-20 (5d4) points of interest, whether the map is local, regional, or atlas scale. But if you think a village is too small to show up on an Atlas map, you could alter the "Settlement" entry on Table 43 based on the map size:

Local settlements (d6: 1-3 village; 4-5 town; 6 city)
Regional settlements (d6: 1 village; 2-3 town; 4-5 city; 6 city-state)
Atlas settlements (d6: 1-3 town; 4-5 city; 6 city-state)

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.
