Fantaji Universal Role-Playing Game

WHAT'S YOUR FANTAJI?

The new Fantaji Universal Role-Playing Game features a sharp d10 system that stays simple and concise without ever feeling "lite" or "generic." Despite being easy to learn and portable to any world or campaign setting, the corebook provides tools for a deep and thematic role-playing experience right out of the box. 

• All the rules of play right at the beginning of the book
• Build a deep, three-dimensional character in minutes (even your first time)
• Tons of examples on every page, with extended examples of scenes and campaigns
• Features 4 original campaign settings and 11 "mods" to help you localize Fantaji to your own world
• Gorgeous, full-color art throughout
• Excellent for extended campaigns and one-off adventures both, even with your favorite minis!
• FAMILY FRIENDLY! We've played with kids as young as four. Really. No, really. 
• As technical, light, lewd, violent, funny, somber, or scary as you are!

After two years of being the best kept secret of the biggest gaming and anime conventions in the United States, Fantaji is finally here at DriveThruRPG. Ever wonder what your favorite developers for those other RPG companies get up to late at night at Gen Con? What about that celebrity Dungeon Master? What do your favorite cosplayers do after attending their panels at the country's longest-running anime convention?

Well, a lot of them have been playing Fantaji with us. What started as an experiment in boutique, backroom game design has grown into the coolest universal engine around.

THE SYSTEM

The root mechanic of Fantaji uses qualitative markers instead of numerical stats but nevertheless demands careful strategy, tactical teamwork, and shrewd resource management. We emulate the look and feel of your favorite JRPGs to produce an engine of turn- and team-based combat that keeps everyone on their toes. Creative storytelling and mechanical strategy both matter: It really is the best of both worlds. 

• "Play to" lyrical, qualitative markers on each turn to embed every action into the story
• Designing monsters, puzzles, traps, and objectives all follow the same steps
• Players add to the scenario on each turn, and each new fact multiplies the mechanical complexity
• Characters develop along thematic arcs, growing in response to their in-game experiences
• More than 50 unique Powers that mix and match to make devastating heroes and enemies!
• Combat strategy is thick, technical, and necessary

FANTAJI REALMS

We have included FOUR robust campaign settings in this corebook, all with local mods and plenty of plot hooks for immediate adventure.

• Urban Fantasy - Live out your vampire and superhuman fan fiction dreams now!
• Space Fantasy - Earth is the exploited victim of an alien economy; can you survive?

Check out the forthcoming Fantaji Realms PDFs for more campaign worlds designed by a team of anthropologists, veteran gamers, creative writers, and... you! We've been working with players for two years to develop 12 further campaign settings that will be hitting DriveThruRPG soon! Could your new setting be the next Fantaji Realm?

GORGEOUS ACCESSORIES

Design your own enemies and monsters easily on index cards, or enjoy Fantaji with the beautiful, glossy monster tiles available in decks from our website (make sure to use dry-erase markers!). All it takes is a little imagination to build unique beasts and bosses right at the table. Or, cards can combine to add new abilities to enemies you've already made, saving you time when you need a familiar baddie with a little twist. The corebook includes an entire chapter dedicated to helping game-masters build "world decks" to ease mid-session maneuvering.
