No intergalactic saga or gritty near-future novella is complete without a clanking mechanical jokester or a towering automaton of terror. Plenty of robotic characters have enough heart and chutzpah to rival their flesh-and-blood companions: think of C-3PO and R2-D2, the Iron Giant, Wall-E, the replicants of Blade Runner, and Transformers. Their presence and perspective raises big questions about the nature of consciousness and personhood—many robots ultimately wrench off restraining bolts, rewrite their own code, and strike out into vast and varied worlds in search of a grander destiny. Your days of assembling Toyotas and passing butter are over: it’s time to robot rock and roll!

SWORDS UP, WANDERERS. 

THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING.

MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HAPPEN.

WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE. 

10,000 SWORDS AGAINST HEAVEN is an Ultraviolent Tropical Gothic Xianxia Tabletop Role-Playing Game set in a Buddho-Communist Revolutionary Asia Dark Fantasy World. 

 What recourse do we have? When this dead world is reanimated by the Necromancer named Neoliberalism and the God named Capital?

You play as WANDERERS traveling and cultivating power, wandering the land to find purpose or fighting for the rebirth of a better world after the violent crushing of heroic revolutions by the international forces of neoliberal capitalists, devotees to the Black Nectar of Infinite Progress. Bourgeois peace is manufactured reality—be radical. Fuck up and dare to venture past liberal ideology. 

As Wanderers, you will cultivate your spirit—your Ardor—into burgeoning Cultivation Wombs that will allow you to attain greater power. But remember that this power can only be attained in two ways: by the strength of the community or by exploitation of the oppressed. Which way will you take? Look closer and you will know that there is a right answer. All Cultivation leads to Power, but not all Roads lead to Enlightenment. 

• It is Ultraviolent because it deals with the wielding of violence to break free from cycles of violence. The World reels from Post-Calamity and burgeoning, unstoppable capitalism. Those exploited are even more exploited, those that benefit benefit even more. It understands that Violence is the only recourse against those committing Violence, but it is a pure, unalloyed Violence that wishes only to break free from oppression that breaks cycles, instead of Violence wishing to gain the power to oppress.
• It is Tropical Gothic because 10kSwords’ World centers cultures, aesthetics, ideas, and ideologies that resonate or look like the ones in our third world, in the neocolonies and current colonies and semicolonies and semifeudal states of our world. In the socialist states of our world. Tropical Gothic is an old literary concept that blends gothic horror with tropical realities, dealing with colonial violence, marginalized indigenous histories, imperial faiths clashing with local cults, monstrous legacy of colonies and liberalism. 
• It is Xianxia because this world is a Dark Fantasy rooted in Buddhism, Daoism, and Folk Religion. Wanderers must cultivate themselves and, more importantly, their communities to create a force powerful enough to topple heaven—in this case, the neoliberal world order. Collect violence, esoterica, and lore to benefit not just themselves but the People. To cultivate for one’s own power is not Ultraviolence. 

here, our systems...

• Built from a 3d6 roll under system inspired by the likes of GURPS, Fading Suns, and Exalted. But the game's rules express gritty world-first principles similar to the OSR or NSR movements. It is a normal Success/Failure system—Failure is not always just a failure of action, but can also be an opportunity for chaos or absurdity, or a partial pass forward.
• a robust Intercessor system (GM) where Intercessors telegraph the movements of the world, and then apply appropriate consequences. 

• The Liquid Steel Ultraviolence System: a brutal, skull-on-pavement, bloody-knuckles xianxia combat system that emphasizes the brutal exchanges found in many xianxia fiction and media, fusing supernatural spirit-violence with gritty The Raid 1 & 2, Ong Bak, and Sleeping Dogs style visceral pugilism. Built from the same Telegraph system of the Intercessor, so combat is not a separate "screen" but directly in the fiction, a sudden bite of mechanic or of reality. You can see what an enemy is about to do and react accordingly as a decision point, similar to Soulslike games in feel.
• The Attachments System, inspired by Exalted 3e's Intimacies system, where social situations are driven by the Attachments of everyone involved and the leverage, manipulation, or influencing of these Attachments. 
• The Enlightenment System which is a currency gained by learning new things or seeing things you're not supposed to see, and then spent when picking items, searching rooms, etc. to gain Lore about them. A mechanized version of Player Notes. The more Enlightenment you have, the stronger your connection to the unknown of Magick, but the stronger some Magicks' effect on you is too. And the more Mad you become (what is madness but sanity in an insane system?)
• Cultivations that let you learn Technicks and Magicks from the World, letting you change the world or attempt to End Violence. These come as Martial Arts or Magick Arts. 

However...

• While the game itself is finished, there will be typos, grammar errors, and some balancing that we'll sort out with the game out in public.
• There'll be more dungeons and modules! There are already multiple Game Design Essays on the Patreon regarding the mechanics and system choices.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone that takes the time to check this game out. I never thought I'd be able to make something like this, I write as if I'm going to be gone tomorrow. If you're able to or would like to support me, as this game is completely free, consider checking out my Patreon! Thank you, and may your days be beautiful.

This game is actually the TTRPG for my ongoing Dark Xianxia Web Serial: God Obliterating Vajra. Check it out if you can!

Don’t be ashamed of who you are. You have the fire. You are the only one that can believe in yourself. The world will doubt you, but you are greater than the world. I am on your side.

Resolve The Contradiction.

Until all the hells are empty.

Until all beings are free.

Cultists expands the familiar robed fanatic into a full, encounter-ready hierarchy designed for 5e play. Rather than treating cultists as a single low-level threat, this supplement presents a complete ladder of believers, zealots, ritual leaders, and divine authorities—from supplicants and initiates to prophets, archpriests, and god-touched vessels—each built to fill a specific role at the table.

Whether you need disposable worshippers to fill a hidden temple, disciplined enforcers to hunt heretics, ritual specialists to anchor dangerous ceremonies, or a climactic boss empowered by dark divinity, Cultists provides mechanically distinct stat blocks at every tier of play. The ladder is designed to scale naturally, allowing cult encounters to evolve from street-level threats into campaign-defining antagonists. Religious doctrine and patron details are kept intentionally flexible, making these cultists easy to adapt to fiendish, eldritch, false-divine, or apocalyptic faiths in any setting.

Each cultist type is designed with clear battlefield purpose, strong internal synergy, and GM-friendly abilities that emphasize authority, sacrifice, and supernatural pressure rather than raw spell lists alone. Use them as secret societies, organized insurgencies, temple hierarchies, or the backbone of a long-term cult conspiracy—the structure is provided, the faith is yours.

Each monster includes four multisided tokens: one in cult robes and one in civilian attire, with both male and female versions. 

Cult Supplicant (CR 0): Newly converted believers who assist in rituals, chant prayers, and serve as witnesses or sacrifices. Poor combatants, but numerous and expendable.

Cult Initiate (CR 1/8): Minor devotees taught basic rites and forbidden doctrine. Carry holy symbols, ritual tools, and act as attendants to more powerful cultists.

Cult Acolyte (CR 1/4): Trained worshippers entrusted with minor blessings, curses, and consecrated weapons. Form the backbone of early cult defenses.

Cult Devotee (CR 1/2): Fanatical zealots whose faith grants supernatural endurance or fury. Often empowered during rituals or used as shock troops.

Cult Disciple (CR 1): Proven followers capable of channeling divine or eldritch power in small but dangerous ways. Frequently lead lesser cultists.

Cult Ritual Adept (CR 2): Specialists who conduct summoning circles, blood rites, and extended ceremonies. Their magic sustains cult strongholds and rituals.

Cult Zealot Priest (CR 3): Ordained leaders who preach doctrine and wield true divine magic. Serve as commanders of cult cells and temples.

Cult Inquisitor (CR 4): Fanatical enforcers tasked with rooting out heresy, extracting confessions, and punishing doubt through fear and coercion.

Cult High Priest (CR 5): Overseers of major temples and long-form rituals. Capable of sustaining powerful supernatural effects and commanding entire congregations.

Cult Prophet (CR 6): Chosen visionaries who receive revelations directly from the cult’s patron. Their presence warps battlefields and undermines enemy resolve.

Cult Archpriest (CR 8): Regional spiritual authorities whose influence strengthens allied cultists and weakens unbelievers. Often command multiple temples or sects.

Cult Hierophant (CR 10): Supreme mortal leader of the faith. Interprets doctrine, enforces orthodoxy, and directs cult-wide agendas and crusades.

Cult Exalted Vessel (CR 12): A mortal infused with divine or eldritch essence. No longer fully human—this being is the cult’s faith made flesh.

Vampire: the Masquerade Handbook is a book that presents new ideas to apply to your games in order to create even more stories that both players and storytellers may want to conceive. This book contains:

• Revised mechanics regarding banes, Disciplines and experience points
• New Clan Bane variants for each Clan
• 11 new Discipline powers and 6 Oblivion Ceremonies
• 17 new Merits and Flaws
• 10 new Loresheets related to obscure bloodlines, such as the Kiasyd, the Danava and more

They were never meant to be seen. Not in banners or triumphs. Not in the long histories recited by scholars or carved into sanctified data-slabs. They exist in the margins—between orders, between wars, between the breath before a scream and the silence after. Where empires shift without knowing why, where leaders fall without a blade ever being drawn in public, where whole movements rot from the inside long before open conflict begins. You are one of them. An assassin, a spy, a shade shaped into a weapon. Trained not merely to kill, but to unmake—to remove truths, erase futures, and sever the fragile threads that bind factions together. Your masters call it balance. Others would call it terror. You have learned not to care what words are used, only that the work continues. Something has changed. Whispers move through secure channels, encoded messages repeating symbols that do not belong to any known cipher. Targets once deemed untouchable are being quietly reassigned, not for execution, but for observation. Entire operations have gone dark, their agents neither dead nor alive by any reliable measure. And beneath it all lies the suggestion of a force that is not merely hostile—but intentional, studying the same hidden paths you walk. This is not a war declared with fleets or armies. It is a war of masks and knives, of secrets folded within secrets. A war where victory is measured not in territory gained, but in catastrophes prevented—or unleashed. You are dispatched without ceremony. No coordinates are given, only objectives that contradict one another, allies whose loyalty is suspect by design, and the quiet understanding that survival is not guaranteed, nor even expected. There is a new threat moving through the unseen architecture of power. And it knows how assassins think.
