Basics

The Game

Pokémon Odyssey is a tabletop RPG for playing Trainers in the world of Pokémon that puts a primary focus on tactical combat using a map and grid. Inspirations include, but are not limited to, video games like Divinity: Original Sin, and combat-centric tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition and Lancer. Play follows a standard structure in Pokémon Odyssey—players decide what kind of adventure to pursue, procure supplies for the trip, embark on their adventure while managing their limited resources, then take a breather during downtime which allows them to take on personal and side projects before the cycle repeats. The rules for resolving non-combat situations tend toward the lighter side, but players familiar with traditional tabletop RPGs can expect familiar staples like challenge rolls and a skill system.

You might have found us through previous TRPGs we've worked on, such as Pokémon Tabletop Adventures and Pokémon Tabletop United. If so, welcome back! Pokémon Odyssey definitely shares DNA with those projects, but we hope you approach it as its own game without expectations of carrying over ideas from our previous works.
