What You'll Experience

PLAY THE VILLAIN! Once upon a time, a child saved the world of fairytales. His reward was a wish. The One who Plots in the Shadows whispered a corrupted idea: grant the Villains a chance for redemption. This was how the Villains became good. But any light needs a shadow, and in turn, the Heroes became evil. At that moment, all fairytales were shattered.

Broken Tales is a tabletop RPG of dark stories, reinterpreting fairytales from an upside-down perspective. Players become part of the Order, a secret group operating on behalf of the Papacy to investigate supernatural events. This game is incredible! It has just one simple dice mechanic, so the GM and players can focus on the narrative and immersing themselves in characters. Each premade character has scene-stealing abilities that create memorable moments!
