You remember dying. But this... is not the afterlife.

Event Info:
What: Fatefully Tragic Hero New Classes Test
When: Tuesday, April 30 | 7:30–9:45 PM
Where: Is/Was Brewing – 5121 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60640

You awaken on the storm-wracked shores of a shattered world — dazed, disoriented, and under attack. Monstrous figures close in from the shadows, and your new life threatens to end before it begins. But salvation arrives in the form of armored knights bearing golden-sigil banners. They call you a miracle. A prophecy fulfilled.

Brought before a boy-emperor cloaked in grief and grandeur, you are told of a realm on the brink. Of a rebellion that spreads chaos. Of innocents caught in the crossfire. He calls you the Seven Lights — reborn to bring hope to a broken land.

He doesn’t demand your help. He asks for it. And in a world begging for peace... how could you say no?


Join Cinderlight Games for an exclusive one-shot playtest of seven new Advanced Paths for Fatefully Tragic Hero.
These classes are not available in the sourcebook or playtest kit — they debut with a future campaign module and this is your only chance to try them early. Pre-generated characters provided.

What You’ll Be Testing:

  • The Ronin – A stance-switching duelist drawing power from spiritual archetypes like Flame, Wind, and Stone.

  • The Dragoon – A leaping, pressure-heavy fighter who dominates the battlefield from above.

  • The Twins – Two bodies, one soul. Tag-team tactics, split actions, and unmatched versatility.

  • The Arcane Fortress – A zone-controlling mage-knight who shields allies and locks down threats.

  • The Author – A soul-binding manipulator who contracts the dying and unleashes them as ink-bound summons.

  • The Devourer – A ruthless combatant who feeds on the fallen and adapts in real-time.

  • The Schemer – A blink-stepping tactician who repositions, redirects, and destabilizes the flow of battle.

Each Path offers a new way to play — narratively rich, tactically distinct, and inspired by the best of anime storytelling and fantasy action.


5 seats only. One night. All new.
No experience needed. Dice, character sheets, and rules provided.
