SHIFT RPG Core Rulebook & Open License (PDF)

SHIFT is a fast-paced, highly customizable tabletop roleplaying game specially designed to bring your worlds to life.

The SHIFT RPG Core Rulebook contains the core rules of the game, a toolkit for building your own settings, and a selection of ready-to-play mini-settings (called World Sparks) to get you telling fun stories right away.

SHIFT is a big grab bag of rules and ideas you can use to tell the type of story you want to tell. It is a system built around dramatic successes and failures— no matter the results of a roll, the world around you changes in an exciting way.

Every aspect of SHIFT is powered by the same core building blocks: Traits (the abilities of Characters, monsters, equipment, anything!) and their associated Shift Dice, making the core game rules very easy for anyone to pick up.

With its simple, central mechanic and fast gameplay, SHIFT makes it easy to build and play in any world you can imagine.

The core rulebook PDF also includes the SHIFT Open License, which allows you to create World Sparks, supplements and new games that are compatible with SHIFT, either for free or monetized!
