HEARTBREAKER

Heartbreaker is a splashy, asymmetric-maximalist rules-light love letter to fantasy roleplaying. It's designed for high-trust/high-impact play and fiction-first problem-solving, mechanized stakes and sincere emotion, and a many-pronged exploration of fantasy roleplaying archetypes.

You're a weirdo with a unique minigame, you're an itinerant therapist cult leader, an agent provocateur with a cellphone, a fighting-game character, three d20s, an economancer, a hair-splitting bishop, a magical cat with a tarot deck, a walking anime trope, an anti-wizard with a shotgun, a super-Hegelian, a genie-by-writ, a sexy werewolf, a goblin co-GM, a stressed-out grad student, a superhero druid-cop, a shadowy quest-giver (and so on).

In these 230-ish pages you'll find like a dozen (very small!) pages of core rules supporting hundreds of decision-dense, no-filler character options (plus another hundreds of OSR-adjacent toolkit-spells and like four or five magic systems)
