Rogue Tithe

A descent for the Barrow Relic

Rogue Tithe is a traditional turn-based roguelike for PC. You descend through the Wild and a twelve-floor barrow crypt to find the Barrow Relic. The Wild has four regions: Greenwood, Frostmarch, Sandreach and Ashfell. Each is guarded by a champion carrying a sigil, and the Barrow King’s floor remains sealed until you have all four. Death is permanent for each run, and anything you’re carrying is lost.

Tempo and character rolls

Combat turns on speed and agility contests. Moving pits your speed against nearby enemies; striking compares your agility with theirs. Beat an enemy by five and you act twice. Fall behind by five and the enemy acts twice. Weapons affect the contest: a war hammer hits hard but gives enemies the initiative, while a knife can strike before most enemies answer.
