Tabletop Centuries: A Historical TTRPG

What is Tabletop Centuries?

Tabletop Centuries is an immersive tabletop role-playing game that blends storytelling, strategy, and evolving mechanics to take players through the journey of an emerging civilization. Start from the Stone Age and build your empire from scratch, or play a preset campaign in any era of your choosing. Tabletop Centuries offers you a chance to rebuild society with your own personal touch, while providing baseline rules to help you keep track of the numbers.

Live Life Though the Ages

– Era-Based Progression: In Tabletop Centuries, death is not the end. When your character dies, you are free to advance to the next era, keeping any technological or civil achievements you made. Can you stand the test of time?

– Stone Age to Industrial Age: Our set of “Ages” books give you new, historically-based classes, technology, equipment and modules for you to use in your games. Each book spans five Eras, which can progress as quickly or as slowly as you like.

– Optional Modules: Customize the level of depth in your game by including or excluding optional modules that come in each new book. Want to micromanage a settlement, or track your lineage to transfer skills from previous characters? Our modules are designed to balance in-depth bookkeeping with simple calculations that make the numbers easier to track.

Dynamic Class System

– Evolving Class Upgrades: Classes evolve naturally across historical eras, reflecting advances in technique and technology. While some classes excel in combat, others specialize in trade, gathering, or survival. Each new book comes with unique classes and abilities that you can mix and match across the ages!

– Class Ability System: Each class features 5 Ability Slots to customize your skill set. Classes offer diverse abilities, from powerful combat maneuvers to practical trading, crafting, and harvesting skills, helping you adapt and thrive in any environment.

– High Stakes Combat: Combat in Tabletop Centuries is harsh and realistic—health doesn’t regenerate by simply eating or sleeping. Severe injuries must be carefully tended to avoid blood loss or infection, potentially requiring weeks of recovery time. Choose your battles wisely—fighting should always be a last resort!

Resource-Based Economy

– Resource Management: Discover valuable resources across the world and establish harvesting camps to ensure a steady supply. Manage your raw materials carefully, transforming them into useful items, tools, or trade goods to strengthen your settlements through strategic exchanges with other players.

– Trade & Barter: In Tabletop Centuries, there are no fixed prices or set currencies. Instead, players negotiate values through a flexible barter system, with item values shifting based on supply, demand, and local conditions. Every item is crafted by artisans from the resources you gather, creating a dynamic economy that rises and falls naturally.

– Full-Scale Economy: Lead your civilization toward prosperity by providing essential goods like food, medicine, clothing, art, and tools. Balance resource allocation and unlock advanced production chains, guiding your settlements towards growth, stability, and cultural evolution.
