Keep wise of your coin and cargo, Merchant.

This is the Hawker Corebook Alpha. It expands significantly on the core game created for the One Page Jam 2024. 

For those who haven't played the one-page game. Hawker is a Solo RPG about making your fortune as a merchant. Explore the world, discover the best trade routes and build a trading company that propels you to the status of legendary merchant.

This version of the game adds:

  • An overhauled trading system
  • A new resolution system
  • Merchant talents
  • Basic settlement holdings
  • Basic hirelings
  • A new hexcrawling system

Hawker requires the following:

  • at least 12d6 of 2 differing colours. 5d6 of one colour and 7d6 of another.
  • pen and paper
  • a 52 deck of playing cards
  • a Hexmap of any size

All in all, a fair bit more content than the original one-page game. I wanted to launch this as an Alpha version, as I've been working on expanding the game for the better part of a year, and if I didn't do it this way... I fear it may never have happened.

A massive thank you to Brite Palette, Dallas J. Haugh and YouGotAChocolate.

I will continue to work on the game and post updates both here and over on the Hawker Discord!

I am having so much playing! I’m very new to this hobby, so I’m proud of me for understanding the rules. Well, I think I am anyway.

Here’s an Actual Play that details setup and 4.5 days of gameplay
