Chain×Link

Chain×Link is a 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 condemned to mine 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 uprising that you have built.

Trials and Links

This game is built on a resolution system where your contribution succeeds if the result of your contribution roll is equal to or greater than the result of the previous successful contribution roll. Your Chain succeeds the Trial if the sum of all successful contribution roll results exceeds the Trial Number. Balance the need for cooperation with the desire to advance your own agendas. 

Players manipulate their contribution rolls by attaching and detaching links to their equipment and experiences, representing the tools and motivations that drive their actions. Equipment and experiences change, and change your Breaker, as you play.
