Broken Compass is a role-playing game in which players take on the role of Adventurers in search of Treasure. Raiders of Broken Compass are men and women of action who travel the world to take on challenges from big cities to inhospitable wildernesses. Adventurers risk their lives every day, driven by the desire to discover, learn, or obtain something that is priceless to them.

Broken Compass is based on the Fortune system, a set of game mechanics that use small, six-sided groups of dice to determine the outcome of any task that may involve hazards or lead to accidents.
