Since 1977, an organisation without a name has kept the rifts closed through which something comes in. It has no flag and no headquarters that appears on any map. It has Holds, files and people who can never go home.
All books free. Sixteen books in English, plus handouts and character sheets, over 1,000 pages. New titles follow the German editions.
O.D.I.N. is a tabletop roleplaying game about modern investigators, soldiers and gifted people who work in secret against whatever comes through the rifts. It is played with six-sided dice: white for the attribute, coloured for the skill. Whoever rolls risks not only wounds but also strain, trauma and the price their class demands.
The Choir hears what others cannot. Every Psion wears a helmet of Alloy S. Price: Resonance.
The Collegium keeps the crystals. Every stone has a number, and every one of them whispers. Price: Whisper.
The Hammer of O.D.I.N. They carry silver that others carried before them. Price: Echo.
Legends like coats. The longer you wear one, the deeper it becomes. Price: Fade.
The Institute in the tunnels near Bern. They build what does not exist yet. Price: Contamination.
The trace readers. Every Hold has a Wall, and the Wall belongs to them. Price: Suspicion.
Question by question through character creation, narrative and by the rules: branch, subclass, background, attributes, skills, powers and signature. At the end you get a finished character sheet as a PDF and a dossier for the cell. After every mission you enter your XP there and advance your agent during downtime: attributes, skills, powers and class tree, with rank and career log on the sheet. It runs in the browser, on phones too.
