Fragments of the Past is a rules-light roleplaying game set in a Bronze-Age world evoking the atmosphere of ancient tales and poems of the archaic Mediterranean, where conflicts are resolved on a roll of a d10 or a d100. Experience the great tragedies, deeds, and ambitions of larger-than-life characters, dwelling in a world of sacred places and untamed wilderness. Pray and live according to the ancient customs of long-forgotten civilizations, if you dare. Epithets, Passions, and Gifts define characters: they describe past experiences, and torments, inspiring narrative plots and interacting directly with the rules. You can be a “Lotophagus“, a “Fallen Prince of a distant Thalassocracy“, an “Heir of an Ancient Warrior Tradition“, or “Possessed by Madness”. Fortuna points and Hybris points describe your relationship with the Immortal Gods and the extent of transgressions that you will inevitably commit during your life. The setting is inspired by a sense of wonder and nostalgia for the fierce beauty of the archaic past: think Homer meets Tolkien. The manual is enhanced with a rich collection of story prompts to inspire and aid improvisation, like Talismans, sacred processions, ritual duels, shipwrecks, and joyous banquets.
