Jag har tänkt skaffa Mistborn från Crafty Games. Det släpps i mitten av december. Mistborn baseras på Brandon Sandersons bokserie. Han är själv en aktiv rollspelare och har haft en hel del input.
Det är ett helt nytt rergelsystem så vitt jag vet. Det är ganska rules light. Man ska kunna attackera tre olika sidor hos en motståndare 1. Fysiskt. 2. Ryktet 3. Mentalt.
Det är en fantasyvärld som utspelar sig hundratals år efter att en hjälte försökte besegra den stora ondskan. Hjälten förlorade och nu lever man i en otrevlig värld.
Text från preview version:
Thick black clouds blot out the
sun, belched by titanic volanoes that dot the horizon. Rather than rain, ash falls from the
sky, always, every day... It stains the buildings, chokes the rivers, and blankets the land like
a sea of stained snow. Imagine there are no flowers, no green grass or leafy trees — only
stunted brown undergrowth struggling to reach the meager light of a dim red sky.
Imagine that at night, roiling clouds of impenetrable mist materialize to swirl and
dance in the streets, shrouding the stars and shrouding mortal danger for those foolish
enough to venture out into the dark. Mindless mistwraiths — horrific beings that devour the
dead to make of them a mockery of life — hunt intrepid wanderers, while savage gangs of
bandits and rebels plunder baggage trains and passersby for what little they carry.
Imagine a society so repressive that police and priest, state and church are one, and
that your ruler is not just a man but a god who sees, knows, and controls all. Imagine his
grip on the land’s culture is so strong that he can stifle the march of technology, halt integration
of the classes, and rule unopposed for a thousand years. Imagine that innovation,
evolution, and ingenuity are replaced by duty, devotion, and above all, fealty.
Imagine a world where wealth is not measured in gold, or connections, or status,
but in secrets — where everyone and everything conceals something else. Imagine those
secrets are valuable not for the information they offer, but the power they wield — that
they can become weapons to destroy, shields to protect, and treasure so coveted that others
would kill to see them buried forever.
Imagine a power hidden in a select few can use metal to perform wondrous magic,
letting them soar through the air, perform superhuman feats of strength and speed, and
manipulate emotions. Then imagine being hunted for those powers, by creatures so brutal,
so relentless that they’ll stop at nothing to tear your very soul from your body.
Imagine living in such a world — and choosing to fight against it. You fight to shrug
off the bonds of oppression, fear, and entropy that poison the land and divide the people.
You fight opposition with all the power, all the money, and God himself on their side, and
still you don’t surrender. You fight to change the world, because if you can’t change it,
it’s not worth saving.
This is the world of Mistborn.
Det blev ganska långt men jag tyckte det kunde vara intressant att få med känslan av världen.
