GAME mechanics

  • Storytelling - In Troika! Numinous Edition - Plantarian, storytelling is central. The master, known as the Cosmic Narrator, creates vivid scenarios and leads players through intergalactic journeys. He incorporates elements such as descriptions of landscapes, intriguing characters and unusual events, making the experience immersive and fluid.
  • Paper and pen - This classic method is used to record character sheets, draw maps and note down important details during sessions. Documenting the evolution of characters and the nuances of adventures allows both the master and the players to keep track of the narrative and progress.
  • Data Scrolling - Dice-rolling mechanics are used to resolve uncertain situations and determine the success or failure of the characters' actions. Troika! uses mainly six-sided dice (D6), and results can be modified by specific skills or circumstances, making each game unpredictable and exciting.
  • RPG (Role-Playing Game) - As in any RPG, the role of the players in Troika! is fundamental. Each player creates and plays a character, immersed in the vast universe of Plantarian. Interactions between players, strategic decision-making and the collective construction of the narrative are essential to enriching the gaming experience.
