Gameplay Players

”You want quiet, you better take the next train.” Players create and roleplay as characters who are the
– Lightning protagonists of the story. They take the role of their
characters and play the game from their perspective.
These adventurers travel together as a party, who ex-
plore the world, interact with people and fight against
enemies. Usually, the party is confronted with a central
conflict by the game master, as the general goal of their
adventure. This book includes various rules and options
that help you to create and develop your character.

Game Master
The Game Master (shortened GM), creates the world
the adventure takes place in by using the content and
guidelines in this book. During the game, he describes
the environment to the party and how it reacts to their
actions. The GM takes the role of all non-player charac-
ters to narrate conversations and combat. The rules in
this book help the GM determine the outcome of some
actions, though often he needs to make his own rulings.

Dice
Dice rolls are used in various situations to help decide
the outcome uncertain actions. However, depending on
its context, the exact nature of such a roll may differ.
The only dice used in this game are standard six-sided
ones and we often use d shorthand to refer to such a die.
Furthermore, we use for example ”4d” to describe a roll
of 4 dice, where the result is the sum of all rolled dice.

around, but an appropriate amount of time passes while
doing so. The GM may draw a map of the party’s current
location as a visual aid. He is also free to impose checks
on all exploration related actions, such as picking locks or
detecting traps. The party may go to sleep once per day
to fully recover their HP and MP, even if unconscious.
To gain this benefit, they have to sleep in a comfortable
place like an Inn or a Tent for multiple hours.

– Gilgamesh Attack: You attack an enemy with your weapon.
He may evade by passing an evasion check with a DC
of 12 minus his AGI. If he fails the check, you reduce
the target’s HP by your weapon’s DMG plus your STR.
If the evader rolls a 2, you make a critical hit, doubling
your usual damage. If he rolls a 12, not only does your
Attack miss, but the evader makes an Attack action on
you instead, which you cannot evade.

Magic: You cast a spell by spending MP, choos-

ing a target within its range and concentrating for a
duration. While concentrating, you cannot take actions
or evade Attacks. After the cast time is up, the spell’s
effect occurs on the target right before your turn and
cannot be evaded even if you are not in range anymore.
If the spell deals damage or restores HP, add your MAG

– Vaan also an example of a filled out sheet, which you can
use as a guideline to fill out yours.

2. Choose your character’s name and give a short De-

scription of him or her. Here, you should also com-
municate with your GM so you can integrate your
character better into the game world. For example if
different races or tribes exist in the world, your char-
acter may be part of one of them.

3. Briefly summarize your character’s Story until now

and explain his or her motivation for joining the party
on this adventure. Consider that this is most likely
your character’s first serious adventure, so he or she
probably does not have significantly more experience
than the average person.

4. Choose your character’s Talent, which grant spe-

cial proficiencies in a non-combat skill. Read the
Talents subsection for more details.

5. Choose your character’s Job which determine com-

bat related proficiencies. Characters usually start the
game at Level 1, where their starting attributes and
abilities are determined by the chosen Job. Read the
Jobs subsection for more details.

6. Depending on the chosen job, your character gains ex-

pertise in certain classes of weapons and armor. Dis-

Game Master Using Checks
Checks are a powerful tool that help you decide the out-
”Tough...Don’t blame us. Blame yourself or God.” come of uncertain actions. When players attempt actions
– Delita you can ask them for checks by assigning a secret DC to
the task. In some situations you can also proactively ask
players to make checks, e.g. to decide whether the party
notices an ambush. All non-player characters controlled
by you may also have to do checks, as they follow the
same rules. However, you do not have to use checks if
the outcome of an action is reasonably clear.

Combat
During combat, you play the role of all non-player char-
acters and all Combat Rules apply to them. Unlike the
players, you may keep most information secret, such as
remaining HP & MP and dice rolls. While playing as an
enemy group, you should make decisions from their per-
spective without using your own knowledge. When creat-
ing combat encounters, aim to balance out the number
of participants on both sides. Large hordes of weaker
monsters will often overwhelm the party, while a lone
strong enemy might not stand a chance. A healthy mix
of different enemies makes combat more interesting and
balanced. In addition, it also helps to use visual aids like
maps to keep track of the battlefield. Battles are a mat-
ter of life and death, so they usually take up a significant
portion of playtime. Therefore, try to keep the focus on
the important battles of the adventure.

Worldbuilding Non-Player Characters
”World very simple place. World only have two things: After creating some detailed locations, think about who
things you can eat and things you no can eat.” might live in these places. These non-player characters
– Quina are roleplayed by you when interacting with the party.
They live their own lives, independent of the players and
have their own personalities, goals, abilities and outlooks
on life. Accordingly, they often have knowledge about
the world that the players do not. They can be allied,
neutral or enemies of the party depending on the circum-
stances. For creating detailed non-player characters, use
the Character Creation Guide, but usually it is sufficient
to write down some notes on them.

Magic
There are two fantasy elements that are deeply ingrained
into the game system: magic and monsters. For magic
it is important to establish its sources and what role it
plays in your world. In Final Fantasy, crystals are often
portrayed as powerful sources of magic and are thus at
the center of many conflicts. Often there are also magical
beings called Espers, who represent the different forces
of nature and are connected to the crystals. Monsters
are usually connected to the magic sources in some way
as well, so they are able to use magic.

Chaos in Cornelia is a pre-prepared adventure that

offers a quick and easy introduction into Omega
Fantasy. In this adventure, the party is tasked with
finding the abducted princess Sarah of Cornelia. This
plot is based on the beginning of the original Final Fan-
tasy (1987) video game. You are encouraged to regard
the following content as suggestions rather than rules
and make changes where you think its necessary.
The adventure starts on a small transport ship named

the city of Cornelia. The captain has agreed to let the

”I don’t look like it, but I’m a coward at heart.”

If the adventurers are not familiar beforehand, they

should introduce each other first after which they are
free to explore the ship. They can also talk to the sailors
who are happy to kill time during the journey. Biggs
and Wedge tell them about recent pirate attacks on sea,
which seem to have increased recently. Furthermore,
they may also tell the party about Cornelia, as they
have heard that the princess has disappeared. The party
might also ask about Cid, in which case the sailors tell
them about his past as a former soldier. As it begins
getting dark outside, the crew retreats to their cabins.
When the adventurers prepare to finish the day as well,
they suddenly hear loud noises surrounding the ship.
They quickly realize that several pirates have boarded
the Tiny Bronco!

Battle on the Tiny Bronco

Place roughly one pirate on the ship per party member
and spread them around the deck as you see fit. Mean-
while, the ship’s crew is out of sight, fighting other pi-
rates who have entered the ship below deck. If things
end up looking bad for the party during this battle, Biggs
and Wedge may come outside to help them. Their com-
bat details are shown below and are the same as for the
pirates. After defeating the enemies, remember to award
the party with the dropped Gil for each slain pirate. After
the battle, the crew comes together with the party and

port until after dark on any day, they will witness a raid.
As the party knows about their plan, they can try to
take defensive measures such as setting up an ambush or
traps beforehand. The attack commences with a large
pirate ship docking the port and several pirates storming
out to steal pillage the warehouses and other ships. The
pirates are, once again, Captain Bikke’s crew, but this
time Bikke himself is present as well. In the ensuing
fight, Bikke stays in the back lines and immediately
retreats to his ship once he receives any damage. There
are also some of his men beside him, again roughly one
for each party member. As Bikke likely runs away from
this battle, the party may meet him again in the future.
After successfully scaring off the pirates, the sailors at
the port are very thankful to the party and offer them
free food accommodation for the night.

long blond hair named Ian, he is wearing a decorated
heavy armor and a longsword on his back. He is
reluctant to talk the adventurers and they immediately
notice that he is missing his left arm. If the party has
convinced the king, the captain is willing to talk to them
about the mission to rescue Sarah, which he led. Right
after Sarah disappeared, him his men followed Garland
and confronted him at the Big Bridge, north of Cornelia.
However, Garland bested all of them in ensuing battle
and the captain was the only one to survive, albeit
without his arm. He is ashamed of his failure and seems
deeply disturbed and scared of Garland’s power.

Convincing the King
”Garland is no longer the man I once knew... I beg of
you. Please return my daughter to me quickly!”
– King of Cornelia

To convince the king, the party has to fulfil a

number of tasks that help the people of Cornelia, which
ones and how many exactly depends on you as the GM.
Below is a list of tasks that may convince the king if
taken care of:

• Help the smith to receive his shipments.

• Resolve the dispute between the two mages.

• Defend the port against an ambush by pirates.

• Help the chapel regain its members.

After the party wins the king’s trust, he reveals further

details on the kidnapping: Sarah was kidnapped by a for-
