The War for Terra Has Begun

Terra was ravaged — trapped in a war from an ancient past that now spills into the future. Magic returned, and science learned to blend with it.

That's where you stand, Guardian.

The Offer CORE & ADVANCED RULES · FREE

Dozens of new downloads find new tables every month.

The Guardians are gathering… are you one of them?

The Engine

One d20 — the engine of every round.

A tabletop RPG born from the Lunara Sol novels — beginning with When Time Breaks.

Why This Game Is Different

Infinite Complexity for Players — Smoother, Flowing Gameplay

Simpler than you fear. Deeper than you imagine.

d20 CORE

One die decides your fate. Twenty faces between triumph and a story worth telling — you already know how to roll it.

SLIDING ALIGNMENT

No boxes. Your deeds move you along the scale — and the world of Terra answers in kind.

PATH FUSION

Blend elemental paths into something no rulebook predicted. Your Guardian, your recipe.

INSECTOBOTS

The Techno-Mage's children — steel spiders that scout, cut, and weave at your command.

Choose Your Door

Every Guardian Starts Somewhere

Five short lessons stand between you and your first spell.
The Armory

Rulebooks That Answer Back

Search, filter, and print your own — no other table has these.
The World

Born in Books, Played at Tables

The game grows from the novels of Terra — and back into them.
Beat I

The Eversor Arrive

At the pinnacle of human civilization, the sky opened — and everything we were ended in a single day.

Beat II

The Orders Rise

From the ruins, the gifted gathered into Orders — shields raised over what remained.

Beat III

Magic Returns

And with it, a choice in every awakened soul: what kind of Guardian will you be?

Archi, Tela, and Textus — the Techno-Mage's spider-bots, almost shy
"Oh, and I brought friends." — Meet Archi, fifteen inches of spider-bot who cuts solid steel like butter; Tela, a delicate seven inches whose eyes see from afar; and Textus, Archi's twin, who wears the cog. They live in the novels, in the rules — and, if you look carefully, in the corners of this very site. Enter the world of Terra →
