Get It At Sutlers is an enormous retail adventure system for inclusion in sandbox campaigns.
The front and back covers of Get It At Sutlers
Get It At Sutlers is the upcoming new book by Daniel Sell, the creator of TROIKA!: The Science-Fantasy Roleplaying Game. This official expansion to TROIKA!gives your characters the ability to get jobs in Sutlers, the chaotic (and dangerous) department store in the heart of the city. Once hired, they will have a sandbox of hundreds of micro-adventures and encounters, easily accessed and introduced into your game at a moment's notice.
Get It At Sutlers is a tool to add depth and convenience to ongoing campaigns set in the city of Troika. This huge expansion introduces the ability for player-characters to take on dayjobs at the prestigious department store, Sutlers! This can serve as the core for a whole campaign – where players meet endless interesting NPCs and pick up adventure hooks and juicy gossip – or as an as-you-need-it encounter generator for when the party needs a little bit of money to purchase a ticket to their next adventure.
The book starts with a structured adventure to get the party hired and serving their first day at work, and then it opens up into hundreds (!) of random encounters and micro adventures. Once hired, they can decide to work at the store at any time, without warning, and Get It At Sutlers will make it effortless to guide them through encountering the citizens of Troika across hundreds of strange incidents. Just roll up a day at work, play out what happens, and get those player characters paid. Never again run out of material for your sandbox campaigns!
For the first time ever, get a deep and detailed look at the titular city of Troika, its citizens, its culture, its peculiarities and infuriating habits! Across the hundreds of encounters with its residents, you will get a feel for the city like never before. It is a rich source of inspiration for your games and world, even if player characters never set foot in the store.
In addition to a beautiful hardback copy of Get It At Sutlers you will also be getting an exclusive Welcome Pack. The Welcome Pack contains your contract of employment and a code of conduct leaflet. Please read all documentation thoroughly before attending your first shift. Sutlers LTD takes no responsibility for injury or death while on the premises.

Troika! is played by thousands of people who all seem to enjoy it! Here is a selection of player reviews regarding the systems and its numerous supplements.
'Troika! is just a delightful game. The art is fantastic and weird; really setting the tone for what to expect. The physical book itself of great quality, it feel like it's going to last for a long time'
'Troika! is just the right amount of silliness for the tabletop. It's low-key on information overload for the players, keeping character creation fairly short and dodging the tropes that come with current day RPGs'
'As a game, Troika! is a blast to play. As a book, it's a blast to read. As a design space, I'm addicted. You owe it to yourself to check this out.'
'Troika! is truly something. It's a love letter to that part of my brain where magic and adventure in strange worlds still felt new... it's alien, it's beautiful and ugly at once, great and terrible like Galadriel's power....'
'For me, I hoped the system would do two things. Firstly, give me a breath of fresh air away from the dragon-shaped shadow looming menacingly over the TTRPG space, and, secondly, let me introduce new players to the hobby in a quick and fun way... and it delivered just that'
'Feels like some esoteric relic from a perpendicular dimension. Beautiful and weird. Love it.'
'Outstanding, beautiful, liberating RPG that inspires creativity and joy. If you're looking for a game that outshines larger game systems and brands and brings something fresh and exciting to your table, look no further than Troika!'
