Treshold was presented on SlavCon in Bratislava. For those, who wanted the links to resources used in presentation, please, visit this link (in SK).
Treshold is a lightweight tabletop RPG, that you can take everywhere with you. The whole rulebook fits into a single A4 page and all you need to play the game is right here. In this web app.
This game was developed to bring an easily accessible RPG experience, mostly for new players of an RPG genre that are sh*t-scared when they hear about 200-something pages large books of the standard "big" roleplaying games.
The rules of Treshold can really fit into single sheet of A4 paper formated into pocket mod. To achieve this compact format there are no additional motivational texts, inspirational quotes or extended examples of situations. Therefore Treshold is most suitable for players that know a thing about RPGs and they want to bring their newbie friends into roleplay gaming too.
The system mechanics are built around the system of character aspects that bring countless effects to every action that players' characters provide.
Every character has set of physical and mind-oriented attributes that are used to overcome every obstacle or enemy they meet on their adventure.
This is not really special thing, but it's a thing that makes Treshold even more accessible to new players. Whenever a player needs to use a dice (the game uses standard 6-sided die), he throws two of them and then alter the result with his character's attributes and aspects. Oh, and yes, dice are already included in this app.
Treshold does not contain any ruleset for magic. Sure, players can set magic-positive aspects to their characters, but deep down there is really no mechanic that would solve magic-based actions.
Also, you will not find here a single word about races nor gods, however, there is no restriction to create classic fantasy or sci-fi inhabitants of your worlds.
The web app covers every game mechanics that character players need. But more than that! There is also a simple adventure manager that helps the Game Master to keep an eye on almost every little thing the simple adventure requires, so there is really no need to use pencil nor paper by anyone.
However, the app is used really only as a player's companion, so you still have to meet with your friends in person, if you want to play.
If you found Treshold interesting, give it a shot. Go to Rules window, download a standard or pocket mod version of th rules and immerse yourself into adventure.
Here you can find the latest rules of Treshold. Due to its compatibility it does not contain any fluff text, motivation quotes nor extended examples, only core rules so please, keep that in mind while reading them.
Current version of the rules is 1.8.3.
You can backup your characters, adventures and all settings simply with your Facebook account. Just verify this app and let magic happen.
