Ivory Tower
A downloadable game
YOUR WORLD IS ENDING, BUT YOU'LL STILL RULE IT.
Ivory Tower is a Sparked by the Resistance roleplaying game about unbelievably powerful people in an ending, amazing world.
Ultrafantasy. Begin this game with powers that would end other campaigns. Command armies, create realities, become a god or archdevil or fey! It's the end of the world, dear players: live larger than you ever have before.
Intrigue. Participate in a game of recurring political manipulation to turn the interests of other power players to your favor and your enemies' distraction or (if necessary) destruction.
Semi-Cooperative. There are so many games about saving the world. Welcome to the game about ruling it. Claw your way past fellow players and ascend to sole domination--or die trying. Don't hurt each other too much, though! If any other archmages die or fall from power, the rest of you will soon follow.
Ivory Tower is Sparked by the Resistance. It uses ideas from the Resistance Toolbox, published by Rowan, Rook and Decard. Find out more at rowanrookanddecard.com

page 30: "These stats are broken down into three categories: resistances, skills, domains, and knacks."
that appears to be four categories.
Hahahahahahaha
Absolutely love this comment. You're so right. I'm gonna go fix that now. Thanks for the heads up, weiwithwords, appreciate you
i have some questions about certain aspects, is there a discord to be seen?
Hey Draco2k! There isn't a Discord at this point, but one may be forthcoming. In the meantime, what questions do you have? I'm happy to answer them to the best of my ability and they'd also be good to know from a QA perspective!
Heard about this on the "Dungeon Masters of None" podcast and it sounds amazing! Will you be releasing a print version of the book?
Hey Volksy! It was an absolute pleasure talking up the game on there with Rob and Matt, they're both excellent and the show is, too!
As I understand it, Itch doesn't provide print on demand services and the overhead costs involved in paying for a print run of Ivory Tower keeps me from having any immediate plans to move the book to print. However, should there be enough demand for the game I'd love to make it happen!
First of all, thanks so much for publishing this amazing concept. I plan to run a game exploring your system in the near future, and hoping to integrate it into a wider spycraft/statecraft campaign further in the future!
I completely second Volksy here, I’d love to purchase a physical version of Ivory Tower in the future. I’ll keep a close eye on the project!
This is cool, but a bit hard on the wallet. Do these type of things every go on sale?
Hey Sean! Great question, and thanks for asking. There will be sales in the future and a new community copy is added to download for free anytime someone buys a copy of Ivory Tower.
Lemme know if you've got any other questions!
