    Game Objective

    In Nova Aetas Renaissance you will play through a Campaign


    divided into a series of Missions that puts your tactical skills
    to the test.
    Each Mission will evolve the campaign story in different ways
    based on how you complete them.
    The story will develop based on your choices and actions.
    When you reach one of the eight different endings, you will
    have finished your adventure, following a compelling story
    told through Mission Cards and the Plotbook.
    The main goal of the game is to entertain you and tell your
    story. After you have read one of the endings, you can begin
    a new Campaign to explore and discover every secret of the
    fascinating world of Nova Aetas Renaissance!

    How to use this Rulebook

    5
    Golden Rules

    If a rule written on any other game component (card, sheet, Regardless of any modifiers to the roll of the die, or to the Test
    or other) conflicts with the rules described in this rulebook, being performed, a result of 1 on the die is always a fail while
    the rule on the game component always has priority. a result of 8 is always a success.
    If during a Test, the Success Threshold is not specified, the
    Success Threshold is always 5.

    Authors' Note:
    Within this Rulebook we try to clarify as many questions as possible regarding most game situations.
    Yet in a game as vast as Nova Aetas Renaissance you may come across a situation that we have failed to
    foresee or that the rules fail to clarify entirely. In such cases, we recommend that you use common sense
    to resolve it or—in case you want to keep in the spirit in which we designed this game—always back the
    Enemies up by choosing what is best for them! Functional as it may be, the Artificial Intelligence we have
    designed will never compete with a player's brain, so giving advantage to the Enemies is what we would
    do if we were in an uncertain situation.

    This section of the Rulebook explains how to prepare and


    play a Nova Aetas Renaissance Campaign.
    To start a Campaign, it is best to proceed as outlined
    below in the First Steps chapter, where the Heroes
    are selected and the Campaign Sheet filled out.
    The 4 steps that make up a single Mission are explained next:
    ◆ Travel Phase, in which the party of Heroes, if necessary,
    moves around Italy with the possibility of making
    unexpected encounters.
    ◆ Setup Phase, in which the table is set up for the Mission
    and Equipment and Skills are selected for the Heroes.
    ◆ Mission Phase, in which Heroes will take part in the
    Mission by following the directions of Mission Cards and
    the Plotbook, gain  and Reagents, and find out what
    Mission they will face next.
    ◆ Rest Phase, settles in the Town or Village where the
    current Mission takes place and allows the party to
    upgrade and visit various Shops.

    The next Mission will take place in the same way, but
    remember that the Travel Phase and Rest Phase will not
