Tidal Blades: The Roleplaying Game is a complete standalone RPG based on the Cypher System. This stunningly beautiful book includes everything you need to explore and adventure in the world of Naviri:

• Two complete adventures to launch your campaign!
• Complete streamlined rules for a fast-paced, story-based tabletop roleplaying experience in the beautiful world of Tidal Blades. 
• An intuitive, concept-driven character generation system with limitless options. Play an Inquisitive Salamander Explorer who Sails the Howling Sea, a Sharp-Eyed Cuttlebeard Adept who Studies Anomalies, a Brash Turtle Fighter who Brandishes a Shell Shield—or any of thousands of other creative character concepts!
• A detailed dive into Naviri and the deep, intricate lore of the Tidal Blades setting. 
• Dozens of creatures and NPCs to encounter and interact with. 
• Hundreds of interesting items, watercrafts, and cyphers—mysterious devices, often from beyond the Fold, with unique powers. 

It’s a gorgeous archipelago in which crocs, turtles, humans, and fish-folk trade, travel, and study. A world of cooperation, science, delight, and celebration.

But like any society, Naviri has its share of dark corners, dark dealings, and dark characters. And far out at sea, the Fold, which for years has kept the great sea monsters at bay, is failing. A new generation of heroes is needed to protect Naviri from these growing threats—and whatever else is waiting to break out of the Fold.

Explore Naviri. Work with your friends to keep your home safe and thriving. You may find yourselves gathering hard-to-find items, tracking down dangerous thieves, or battling a sea monster so massive and horrifying it has a volcano on its back. All while racing watercrafts across the sparkling sea, befriending local wildlife, and competing in contests of skill and strength to become one of the greatest heroes defending Naviri against creatures from beyond the Fold: a Tidal Blade!
