Welcome to the Chain Breakers Database
The Chain Breakers Database is the official setting guide of all information pertaining to the Chain Breakers RPG Setting. The Chain Breakers universe is an alternate-history futurism game with cyberpunk themes, set in a latter 21st century that is very different from the likely path we'd expect. The game was principally developed to be played using the Tarnished Tale TTRPG Ruleset.
Owing to the Forced Hand Incident, the Latter 20th Century played out differently to the universe players will be accustomed to. This has created a world of high technology haves and have-nots governed by motives most players would recognize as inappropriated and created tension between the ruling Megacorporations and an increasingly large and rebellious working class, the eponymous Chain Breakers. The setting therefore largely focuses on three eras - the Game of Stakes, the Slow Burn aftermath of the Forced Hand Incident, and the Corporate Wars in the late 21st century, with the latter being the period favoured for routine gameplay.
The setting includes a few mechanical concepts familiar to TT players:
- Use of the Traits system to include concepts like Cybernetics, Genetic Modification, and Nano-Augmentation.
- Three new backgrounds in the form of Corporate Drone, The Disconnected, and Working Class backgrounds.
- A host of Skills appropriate to the setting, and;
- A few new heritages for players to use at Facilitator discretion.
