SAKE is perfect for players who want to experience the thrill of adventure while managing their own domains, trading, engaging in large-scale battles, and playing with magic and gods, all in one game.
SAKE is a point-buy system where EXP, which is used to buy skill ranks, abilities, HP, spells etc., is gained through gameplay events and the personality traits of a Player Character.
SAKE uses a classical RPG 7-dice set.
SAKE includes:
- A robust system for managing domains and creating adventures around them.
- A system for engaging in trade and seafaring, complete with all the associated intrigues and risks.
- A system for large-scale battles, complete with troops, sieges and more.
- An abundance of random tables for generating events, dungeons and adventures.
- And of course, magic, exciting early modern equipment (katanas, muskets, plate armour, and grenades, all in the same battle), undead, insane gods, and all the other elements one would expect from an adventure.
The Full Rulebook can be bought at DriveThru RPG:
Also, the free Basic Edition, while not fully up to date at the moment, can be downloaded from DriveThruRPG or Itch.io. The Basic Edition will be updated in spring 2025.
SAKE has two adventure modules published.
Firstly. The Crime Districts of Ireongate, in which players take the role of heirs releasing their clan’s forge-villa from a criminal gang.
Secondly, the free introductory domain scenario, Daimyo of Storkway, offers a sandbox-style area within the Asteanic World. It features a prepared domain, several (potential) rival factions and an “adventuring” area with a hidden treasure hunt.
The SAKE Full Book was successfully Kickstarted thanks to all our backers: Kickstarter LINK. Late pledges are still available at this time.
