The Current: A Storytelling Game of Memory, Myth, and Motion
A downloadable book
The Current is a story-first tabletop roleplaying game about transformation. You play as the Touched—individuals altered by a mysterious force that cannot be mapped but remembers everything. Together, you’ll build worlds, drift through memory, and trace ripples of change.
This Bundle Includes:
The Current: Core Rules
Your complete ruleset for play—mechanics, character creation, Weathering, Channeling, conflict, and facilitation. This is where it begins.
The Current: Entering the Drift A welcoming companion guide for new players and facilitators. Features a step-by-step scene breakdown, Channeling examples, emotional conflict resolution, and a ritual index.
Codex of the Divide
Berlin, 1985. A city looped by memory, surveillance, and static. Angels drift through fog. Tape reels echo with grief. The Wall accumulates more than it divides.
Codex of the Fog
Arkham, 1880. The bell tolls from an asylum that doesn’t exist. Widows gather in the mist. The town remembers what was buried—and what was left unsaid.
Codex of the Isles
Albion & Britannia. Bureaucratic hauntings, folk horror in Tesco, and Channeling through red phone boxes. The Isles don’t forget. They file paperwork.
The Current: System Remembered (SRD v1.0 – Drift Model)
A distilled, modular version of the game’s core engine for remixers, hackers, and designers. Create your own expansions or systems with clarity and care.
