Chain×Link

Chain×Link (pronounced “chain link”) is a semi-cooperative dungeon defying roleplaying game about captured rebel leaders exploiting tools of tyranny to achieve victory for one of their disparate factions.

You are Breakers, disparate rebel leaders condemned to mine a magic-enhancing mineral which feeds imperial pursuits. Work together to destroy the machinations of The Crown and make your escape. Compete for control to ensure your faction’s success and initiate your uprising in the Life Above.

The Core System

Whenever there is opposition, the players participate in a Trial to determine the outcome. Each player makes a Contribution Roll by assembling a dice pool, rolling the dice and selecting any die as the result. A contribution is successful if the result is equal to or greater than the previous result.  A Trial is a success if the sum of all successful results meets or exceeds the Trial Number. However, only the player with the last successful contributed determines how rewards are distributed. By keeping the best rewards for oneself, a player gives their Faction the best chance to achieve their revolution.
