Hello! I’m writing to you from the distant past (around August 2025). This is a passion project of mine that came about after feeling like the rules of 5th edition D&D weren’t suiting the needs of my groups. After DM’ing that system for many years, I started trying other systems to see what they have to offer. I fell in love with Shadowrun, Traveller, Cyberpunk RED, GURPS, and Delve (Check out Delve!) but after devising the plot to Rainfall, none of them were exactly what I wanted.
In my time developing this plot, I decided that if I wanted the best ruleset for my story, I should simply make the rules myself. That’s what you see here, and that’s what I hope to deliver.
It’s my intention to keep Rainfall free forever for everyone. Of course, I appreciate donations, but they are not necessary for me to continue making things. I do it for fun and for myself mostly. That also means if you have feedback, I would love to hear it, but I do not hold myself accountable to anyone other than the holy RPG spirits.
I hope you enjoy playing Rainfall! If you do take the time to run this game for yourself, please let me know what your group thought by sending a message to: support@rainfallrpg.com
