Eldritch 2nd Edition builds upon its predecessors, Eldritch RPG 1st Edition and Revised, by introducing Ainerêve—the official setting for the game. This edition further expands player choices with an exciting environment for the Game Master (GM) to utilize. Crafted by Peter Schaefer, Jon Creffield, and Dan Cross, Eldritch 2nd Edition adopts the later-developed Plyphyny multi-genre system, streamlining gameplay to emphasize narrative and swift action while preserving innovative mechanics and introducing more options and detail. Eldritch 2nd Edition seamlessly melds core rules with the rich Ainerêve setting, immersing players in the fantasy genre known as The Eldritch Realms. The game is designed to be story- and action-focused rather than tactical or “realistic.” The rules encourage immersion, allowing everyone to engage deeply in the storytelling experience. They offer tremendous flexibility in creating unique characters, ensuring that no two adventurers are alike. The realms of Eldritch showcase the tropes of fantasy and the epic fantasy milieu, providing a familiar sandbox while allowing the GM to personalize the experience.
