Zafir: Tactical Roleplaying Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.00

Tactics, Magitech, & Gunfights at your gaming table!

A fast-paced, tactical, cover-shooter RPG that brings something new to the genre.

Set in a world of magic, machines, airships, and daeva, Zafir offers a unique alternative to traditional, western fantasy settings. Play as one of six sapient species and advance along six branching class trees while earning new abilities and fighting deadlier enemies.

With an easy-to-learn, d6-based resolution mechanic and compelling setting, Zafir: Tactical Roleplaying Game is a great choice for any gaming group.

The Zafir: Tactical Roleplaying Game core rulebook includes: the Player's Guide including the rules, species descriptions, class list, and equipment; the Zafir Campaign Setting, with detailed information on the species, nations, history, and technology of Zafir; and the Game Master's Guide, with advice for running games, an example campaign of 5 missions, and the enemy unit list.

Unique “Responsibility” System

Outside of combat, characters in Zafir use their responsibilities to their crew to accomplish their goals. Instead of looking at your character sheet to see “what you can do,” players know what their characters are responsible for and how that can help them succeed.

Inclusive Roleplaying

Everyone should see themselves in the games they play. Zafir specifically includes non-binary and trans characters as well as characters with diverse skin-tones, disabilities, and sexualities. No matter who you are, Zafir is a game for you!

Meaningful Tactical Decisions

Every action characters take has meaning when playing Zafir. Positioning, elevation, and cover all have a huge impact on the state of the battlefield. Strategize with the other players at the table, make a tactical plan, and execute it with deadly precision!

Beautiful, Non-Eurocentric Setting

Loosely inspired by Persian history and Zoroastrian mythology, as well as iconic pop-culture properties like Final Fantasy and Firefly, the world of Zafir doesn’t rely on the well-trodden fantasy tropes of modern RPGs. Instead, experience a magitech world of magic, airships, and spirits.

“Zafir’s overall design and lore are exceptional. Its true strength, however, is in the way it seamlessly meshes its lore, tactics-based combat, and narrative-based adventuring into a single document. It floods the mind with story and character inspiration.”

— Brad, playtester

Can this game be played theater of the mind style or do you have to use a battle mat and miniatures?

It is, at its heart, a tactical combat game. Minis and a battle map are essential cornerstones of the gameplay.

It's best played with SOME physical representation, as the tactical element relies on positioning quite heavily. However, it can fairly easily be played on graph paper with little paper tokens, so a battlemat and miniatures are not strictly required. The Game Master's Guide section of the rulebook offers several suggested ways to play Zafir on your table.

Thanks for your interest!

One of my most highly anticipated books of all time, based on playtests I got to participate in. Can't wait to dig into this in its completion.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
