Side by Side - Core Rulebook is now available on DriveThruRPG!
I’m thrilled to announce that the first Side by Side book has officially been published and is now available for purchase! This has been an incredible journey, and I’m proud to finally share it with you 🙂 You can check the preview and purchase it directly here.
Whether you're an experienced tabletop RPG player or someone new to the genre, this book is the essential guide for mastering the Side by Side (SbS) tabletop role-playing game 🎲 It offers comprehensive rules for character creation, combat mechanics, and gameplay, containing everything you need to run your campaign as a GM or join as a player. The Core Rulebook includes:
Character development
Detailed sections on physical and mental attributes, professions, and combat skills to help players create and evolve their characters. Examples of character backstories and character sheets are included.
Digital character sheet
Inside the book, you’ll find a link to a character sheet template you can copy and use for your game. It contains many useful formulas that calculate things for you. Item pricing is reflected in the digital character sheet, which contains supporting information so you won’t need to refer to the Core Rulebook as often.
Profession mastery
Guidance on learning and using professions, with a focus on realistic progression and skill application. SbS includes 32 professions. Competence is sometimes much more valuable than simply slaying monsters. Characters may cooperate with other professions to produce something of higher value or just to survive.
25 combat skills and 114 feats
Explore a variety of combat skills and feats that allow characters to develop unique fighting styles and tactical advantages. Different combinations of combat skills and feats offer endless replayability options.
Realistic combat mechanics
In-depth rules for combat, including attack options, body mapping, and injury management, with every action measured in seconds for a tactical experience.
Detailed equipment and crafting
Information on 70 types of weapons, armor, and other equipment, including crafting rules, item quality management, and economics. The Enchanter profession even allows characters to create magical items and artifacts.
Simplified rules option
For those who prefer a more streamlined, turn-based experience, the book includes simplified rules for quicker gameplay.
My work continues! By the end of 2024, I plan to publish the following supplements:
- Side by Side – General Magic Rules ✨
- 12 Spellbooks 📖 (Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Arcane, Infernal, Necromancy, Rune, Nature, Light, Chaos, and Blood)
Thank you all for your continued support. See you soon!
