FITR Academy is here!
https://quaternion-j.itch.io/fitr-academy
FITR Academy is a Forged in the Dark game inspired by stories of magical combat education such as RWBY, Hunter × Hunter, and Naruto. It lets you experience the melodrama of school life, intense, over-the-top action, dangerous threats, and the exploration of the institutions at the heart of these stories.
You create your Fighter-in-training by combining two, distinct Weapon Playbooks to assemble your weapon. You then pick a Spark, a unique magical ability that can grant you superhuman senses and abilities, create illusions, energy, or structures, and can even let you rewrite the laws of reality.
Play consists of three phases: you'll first interrogate the nature of the Academy in the School Phase, participate in simulated and field missions in the Training Phase, then recover and unwind in the Social Phase.
This is the first official release of FITR Academy. Within this sprawling 150+ page PDF, you'll find:
The complete rules for running adventures and campaigns for both Fighters-in-training and the Advisor
Rules for creating your characters, with upwards of 3,000 combinations possible between your choice of Weapon Playbooks and Spark
Rules for Chaos Beasts, including a bestiary and tips on building & running encounters
Appendices for inspiration and reference
There's more to come in future updates: premade adventures, PDF cleanup, and art assets. But you can play the game NOW, with full character options, game rules, and tips & tricks for Advisors running the game!
