Untold is a revolutionary new roleplaying game from Ignitus Innovation designed to combine all the best elements of roleplaying games and collectible card games and toss the rest. Untold is a CBRPG: card-based role playing game. It is exactly the same as any other RPG, but the primary physical "tools" of the game are different. Instead of rulebooks and character sheets, the only "tools" you need in Untold are cards!

That's right—only cards! Cards which are used to construct characters, represent their skills, abilities, items, powers and moves, as well as contain all of the rule/mechanics references necessary to play the game! In Untold, there are no rulebooks, gazetteers, or guides to purchase, read and try to remember. Your character is a deck of cards—and all the rules that filled a library full of books before is now on a set of beautifully illustrated cards! All you need to play Untold is a deck and a die!

Untold was created to be fast, flexible, furious, and fun. The game is amazingly fast when you want to build and change characters—a task that can now be done in seconds thanks to the modular card-based system as well as the unique card swapping mechanics. Combat in Untold is especially furious and visceral thanks to the unique way damage is accounted for—something called "downgrading". The underlying task of Untold's designers has been to take the toil out of playing RPGs and put the fun back in. As such, every single thing the guys over at Ignitus have done during the development of Untold has been driven by this maxim.

Don't know how to play yet? The Primer is included for FREE in the download! It unlocks the secrets of how to read Untold cards, steps through how to create characters, shows how combat works, and even explains how your Untold cards can be used for another game we like to call Untold: Battle!

This pack contains everything you need to play (except a d20—sorry). This contains the Primer (play guide) and enough cards for 6 players and the GM! There are 6 pre-built characters and 35 minions (monsters) for the GM and more—189 cards in total!

Of course, being a PDF full of cards, some assembly is required. Remember the Untold PDF mantra: Print, Cut, Glue, Fold, PLAY!

Untold is Amazing!

5/5

This is a PDF product of the Starter Set for Untold. It has the cards that a GM needs to run the game: Bane cards (which are things like "Blind" or "Surprised" and Minion cards (which are the "monsters" for the game). It also has the basic Aspect cards (Body, Mind, Soul) used by Players and GM's alike, and the cards for 6 of the Iconic characters.

It's just what it says: A Starter Set, but it could keep a group occupied for quite a while before moving on to more cards.

Printing out cards at home does take some work (and preferably a color printer that can handle cardstock or 65 lb paper), but for $10, it's a great way to find out if Untold is the game for you!

The mechanics are straightforward: All actions are resolved using a single d20! Some things will even be familiar to those that have played Pathfinder or other d20 systems (like having Move, Standard, and Full Round actions), but often with an Untold twist.

The default Splintered Serenity setting is a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy setting with steampunk robots, magic-using chimera beings and genetically enhanced super soldiers!

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different (or just sick of "What page is that rule on again?")!

I bought this PDF in January to see if I liked Untold. Truth be told, this PDF sold me on the game!

It's great fun!
