Raiders!

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

What if the first roleplaying game had been about skulking around in ancient ruins, underground tombs, and ancient graveyards in search of treasure, magic and secrets Man Was Not Meant To Know… but the heroes themselves were pulpy archaeologists, explorers and mercenaries from the 1930s instead of the wizards and warriors of fantasy? Raiders! is a roleplaying game about “adventurous archaeology.” It is compatible with the Original Edition, and other games often collectively called “OSR” (Old School Rules) such as Warriors of the Red Planet, Colonial Troopers, Freebooter & Guardians.

Raiders! is a Complete Roleplaying Game!

  • 4 new classes: Mercenary, Scientist, Treasure Hunter, and Occultist
  • Hundreds of new, incredibly powerful magic items called Relics
  • Random Adventure Tables
  • Dozens of monsters & encounters, and much more

I have several osr pulp post on my blog. I intend to take a few of my classes and make them completely compatible with this game.

This is a great game for those in the style of Indiana Jones. Unfortunately I was hoping more for something broader, something that could encompass A. Merritt's lost world settings (esp The Moon Pool and The Face in the Abyss). For what it does, 5 stars. For me 3.5.

Combining this with Warriors of the Red Planet might do what you are looking for. They are meant to be cross compatible.

Ok, I love this book, but I have a couple clarification questions. Can you confirm/correct the following ideas on the scientist gadgets:
1.) I assume tech gadgets like acoustic scanner, instant camera, long range radio, and UV goggles function all day off a single charge.
2.) Is a grappling hook gun a single use item?( per charge)
3.) How about the two electro pistols? Auto hit one use items or good all day for 1 attack a round with regular range weapon rules? (plus int bonus)
4.) Electrified cane good for all day with normal melee rules (plus int bonus) ?
5.) And lastly I assume the disintegration ray is a once a day (charge) item

Excellent questions.
The gadgets could use more clarification on charge usage, some are a little vague. I can't provide a more specific answer other than it is up to the Referee. But your guesses sound right. Otherwise they'd be too powerful. I might not have tech gadgets like acoustic scanner run all day on a single charge, probably closer to 2-5 hours (1d4+1).

I have a question about the Scientist and Occultist class tables. Under their respective gadgets and spells columns, are those the number of gadgets/spells per level? (E.g., at 10th level, does the scientist now have 3 first-level gadgets, 3 second-level gadgets, 3 third-level gadgets, 2 fourth-level gadgets, and 1 fifth-level gadget?)

I'm glad to see this is finally being released! I bought a print copy of the playtest edition at GenCon. Have there been many changes?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
