What is SagaBorn D100?
SagaBorn D100 is a tabletop roleplaying game of dark fantasy, adventure, and discovery. Built on Chaosium’s BRP system, it uses a streamlined percentile skill mechanic – roll under your skill to succeed. Every sword swing, whispered spell, or desperate gamble is decided by the dice.
The system is built in the world of the Dark Return, created by artist Michael Bielaczyc and author Dane Clark Collins. A long-time passion project, the game has begun to thrive under the D100 banner.
Forge your legend, face the dark, and write your own saga.
What is the Dark Return?
The Dark Return is an Against the Dark fantasy RPG setting set in the lands of Uteria. It is a world that is crumbling because of the old power systems and new supernatural threats. It is a place where those who rise up to fight for a better world are heroes, facing the darkness with hope.
What is “Against the Dark?”
I was trying to come up with a quick description for the style of world that Uteria is. It is not grimdark, it is not gothic. It also doesn’t fit well with some new themes like hopepunk. So I came up with Against the Dark. The world has troubles. The people in power are greedy and have no empathy. There are factions of people who do evil things. And the characters are heroes who are fighting back against this darkness. Grimdark has no hope. Against the Dark is when the world may be dark, but the heroes are going to change it. It is a game setting of heroic resistance against dark supernatural forces and oppressive mundane systems.
