Three Kingdoms Tabletop Roleplay Module

Three Kingdoms is a narrative-driven role-play module set during the collapse of an empire and the rise of rival successor states. Following the assassination of the Emperor by a lich and his kin, the realm fractures into chaos as regional powers, mercenary factions, and independent actors compete for influence, survival, and legacy.

This project blends political intrigue, tactical decision-making, and character-focused role-play, offering a framework that supports both strategic thinking and story-first play.

The module is designed as a playable narrative guide rather than a rigid, railroaded campaign.

As a dungeon master you can expect for this module to contain not just the story beats and the images and the names of characters but the stats of all the important characters in the story, where they are, even loot tables for opponents and merchants. The module being made in Renpy is a feature in particular as you can now use the program to bookmark your place in the campaign via the save function, additionally, rather than shift around to find the appropriate story beat for your campaign, the game logs the players actions and sets the module in that direction, eliminating the need to go back and forth between events like you may have done when dealing with printed out modules. 

As a player, expect to team up with many NPCs. Depending on the play style, the party can be as little as two other people. You can ally with NPCs or kill them, the choice is yours, but every serious action comes with a consequence, prefer more role-play than battle? That play style is accounted for as well, and you are given plenty of options to talk your way out of multiple scenarios. Multiple player backgrounds are accounted for, making their origin story an easy off-ramp into whatever role they might want to play in the game. 

This project uses Ren’Py under its respective license.

Background assets are used under legally obtained RPG-style asset licenses and are not included for reuse or redistribution.

Character statistics and archetypes were generated using third-party tools as creative aids. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official product of Wizards of the Coast or any tabletop publisher.

This is an original narrative module inspired by classic strategy and role-play traditions.
