Chain×Link

Chain×Link is a tabletop roleplaying game about raising a revolution by reappropriating the tools of tyranny that confine you. Play as a group of lawbreakers (or as they call themselves, breakers)—political prisoners exiled to a penal colony and condemned to extract a magic-enhancing resource that feeds the Crown’s imperial pursuits. Only by working together can your disparate band of breakers gain support for your causes, destroy the machinations of your oppressors, and ascend to join the revolution you built. 

Chain×Link is designed around the Chain Roll, a versatile and easy-to-learn mechanic based on the concept that the chance of successful large actions are based on the results of previous smaller actions. All actions depend on one another like the links of a chain in a careful balance of coordination and effectiveness.
