Because
the world is ruined, it can be rebuilt.
Because
we can die, we can change.
Because
the past is dead, we may finally have a future.
What if D&D's approach to history and divinity was the exact opposite of reverential?
GODEATER
is a serious attempt to build a game that can do everything D&D
does, but is nevertheless resolutely not D&D in a funny hat. It
is a game about problem-solving and tough choices, in a world
littered with the cavernous bodies of dead deities. It combines some
of the sensibilities of the OSR school of gaming with more up-to-date
mechanics and a focus on characterisation. It also includes an
intuitive magic system based around control and communication of
elemental spirits, and an attempt to build a world a little beyond
generic fantasy and all of its unfortunate implications.
The
Core Rules are simple enough to fit onto three pages, but the
included document packs in fifteen pages worth of additional content:
Details about the world, a guide to GMing, six fully-detailed Gods to explore and devour, and a selection of items,
threats and general weirdness for you to include in your campaigns.
Hack it, mess with it, do whatever you want. I’m not your dad.
More
stuff may be forthcoming for this system – adventure modules, more
items and character cards, and so on – if there's any demand for
it!
