Branch Riders is an easy to play narrative driven role playing game built on the concepts of action, investigation, and creative play. In the game you play as Branch Riders, fighting to contain a malevolent force known as the Blight. Your home is the Nexus, which branches out into eight distinct realms.
Protecting the realms is a game of battle and subterfuge, foiling the Blight and then returning to the Nexus to debrief and recover. Players track the team’s Exposure - how aware the Blight is of their presence - and as Exposure increases, the mission becomes more difficult and dangerous.
The games unique system has a quick and simple character creation. Choose your home realm, assign dice to your five Approaches (attributes), rate your skills, choose your Gift, and write your Purpose - that’s it! Branch riders also uses cards to track conditions with physical, emotional, or social consequences in-game.
