SPQR

Dive into ancient Rome with SPQR, a 5e-compatible TTRPG setting where your heroes navigate the Rome’s brutal politics, legionary battles, and shadowy intrigues. Wield gladius and pilum alongside spells flavored as divine omens or haruspex rituals—all using familiar 5e rules.

Picture your party as freedmen schemers in the Subura slums, senators plotting in marble fora, or frontier auxiliaries clashing with barbarians. Politics isn’t just talk: senatorial debates, mob riots, and patronage networks use simple 5e mechanics for high-stakes drama.

Combat feels visceral—back-alley knives or shield walls—with costs like trials or lost dignitas. New classes, origins, feats and spells for combat, magic, and social interactions layer onto the core 5e ruleset (Gladiators? Check. Orators? Absolutely), blending history with heroic fantasy.

From Republic crises to Imperial frontiers, this setting let you zoom between street grit and epic campaigns. Play a diverse cast: legionaries, latri, arcanus, barbarians, all grounded in real Roman life without the Hollywood tropes.
