EXPLORE THE WORLD OF RAXIA IN THIS FIRST-EVER OFFICIAL ENGLISH RELEASE!
Since its debut in 1989, Sword World has defined Japanese tabletop fantasy.
From anime like Record of Lodoss War to best selling novels and video games, its DNA runs deep in the fantasy genre in Japan.
Sword World is Japan’s most iconic tabletop RPG—played by generations of fantasy fans and featured across anime, novels, and pop culture.
For the first time, we’re bringing an official, full-English release to the West. This crowdfunding campaign will fund the complete localization, design, and printing of the Sword World 2.5 Core Rulebook.
Streamlined Rules built on years of REfinement
Sword World 2.5 rules use a fast, intuitive 2d6 system — easy to learn, but rich in storytelling and tactics. The simplified combat system feels classic JRPGs, its side-based combat skips the grid for smooth, cinematic battles that stay focused on the action. Looking for more depth? Use the advanced combat system for more tactical depth when you want it.
The open multiclass system lets you spend experience to grow in any role — mix magic, swordplay, and more to let you play the character that grows as you do. No rigid classes, just evolving heroes.
With a world built around adventurers’ guilds, quests, dungeons created by swords and magitech, every session feels like an episodic anime arc — complete quests, build your legend, and come back for more.
