The System

Connections are the mechanic

Quantum Links blends tactical grid combat with the emotional weight of Powered by the Apocalypse. Your character's relationships — called Links — aren't just flavour. They generate Bonds, a spendable currency that turns the people you care about into a survival advantage.

Hit the wrong DC and you might be fine. Lose the person next to you and the whole system shifts.

⚔️

d20 for Action

Combat, skills, and checks use d20 + stat modifier against a DC. Six classes, five stats, grid movement.

🎲

2d6 for Emotion

Playbook moves and saving throws use 2d6. Three tiers: full success, success with cost, and hard move.

🔗

Links & Bonds

Named relationships generate Bonds — spendable tokens that grant advantage, prevent death, and unlock Bond Moves.

Hit Points Physical health. Class-based. The thing between you and the floor.
Spoons Emotional energy. Playbook-based max. Sleep resets it. Hard sessions don't.
Bonds Tokens held on another character. Spent for advantage, safety, and extraordinary moments.
