Spark Roleplaying Game: Build Worlds, Challenge Beliefs

Spark is a game about collaborative world-building, creating a setting based on the ideas and issues that matter to you.

Play in that world to explore and confront your beliefs, and maybe learn something in the process.

Challenge your Beliefs

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tale of two families torn apart by family loyalty and romantic love. Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, focuses on the cost of vengeance. Spark helps you tell those kinds of stories, examining your characters’ motivations, convictions, and perspectives. The game helps you explore ideas, concepts, and beliefs that matter to you. Spark is a game about choices that matter and the lessons we learn.

Spark is a tabletop roleplaying game about challenging your characters’ beliefs while building and exploring new worlds. It offers:

  • A system that’s easy to GM, great for pickup games with little advance planning.
  • Collaborative setting creation for making a unique world of feuding factions and interesting ideas.
  • Collaborative scene-framing, so everyone has a say in what comes next.
  • Character generation that creates instant character connections and emotional ties.

Released in the Public Domain

The Spark Roleplaying Game was the first complete game designed by Jason Pitre, and it was published by Genesis of Legend Publishing in the summer of 2013. As publishers, we wanted to make the game available for other designers and therefore declared the game text would be released into the Public Domain after ten years elapsed.

To that end, we have produced the following system reference document to help you adapt the Spark RPG system for your own purposes.
