TrueLife: A Roleplaying Game of Lethal Reality (Truelife Core Collection) Kindle Edition

What if one bullet could end a legend?What if magic left scars that never healed?What if truth itself was dangerous to know?TrueLife: A Roleplaying Game of Lethal Reality is a gritty, tactical tabletop RPG where combat is deadly, choices carry permanent consequences, and survival is never guaranteed. This is not a game of invincible heroes and endless resurrection. In TrueLife, every fight matters, every wound tells a story, and death is final.Designed for players who want realism, tension, and meaningful risk, TrueLife delivers a grounded experience where even the most powerful characters remain vulnerable to bad decisions, bad luck, or a single well-placed strike.What Makes TrueLife DifferentLethal, Consequential CombatWeapons behave like weapons. A lucky arrow, a gunshot, or a desperate ambush can kill — regardless of level. Healing is rare, recovery is slow, and psychological trauma can be just as devastating as physical wounds.Tactical, Map-Based GameplayTrueLife is built for precise positioning, facing, cover, and environmental awareness. Combat and stealth reward planning and coordination, making the system ideal for players who enjoy tactical depth and online virtual tabletops.Attribute-Driven Dice SystemYour attributes determine the type of die you roll, while skills add consistency and expertise. This creates a powerful balance between natural talent and training — allowing for dramatic successes without removing the ever-present risk of failure.Multiple Genres, One Unified SystemTrueLife seamlessly supports multiple settings without changing the core rules:Lost Atlantis — a dark fantasy world of fallen empires, forbidden magic, and brutal survivalDark Conspiracy — modern occult horror where secret wars are fought behind the veil of normal lifeCyberEarth — a dystopian cyberpunk future of megacorporations, cybernetics, and inhuman evolutionThese worlds can be played independently — or collided into a single, genre-bending campaign.Permanent Death, Real StakesThere is no resurrection magic. When a character dies, their story ends. Victory feels earned. Survival feels meaningful.Who This Game Is ForTrueLife is ideal for:Players who want real danger, not power fantasiesGroups who enjoy tactical combat and strategic decision-makingFans of dark fantasy, cosmic horror, conspiracy thrillers, and dystopian sci-fiGame Masters who want a flexible system that treats violence, magic, and truth as costly forcesIf you prefer cinematic invulnerability or casual combat, this game may not be for you.If you want tension at the table, silence before the dice fall, and stories shaped by hard choices — welcome to TrueLife.Open Game LicenseTrueLife is published under an open-game license, encouraging creators to build and publish their own settings, adventures, and expansions using the system.TrueLife: A Roleplaying Game of Lethal RealityThe world does not scale to you.
