MAKE. GOD. BLEED.
Karanduun is a high-flying, Filipino heroic fantasy Tabletop RPG in a setting inspired by Filipino Myth, Folklore, and Folk Catholicism. You play as young heroes who must make their legend known and become a legendary Karanduun by making God (whichever oppressive system and tyrant that is) bleed.This game requires 4 - 6 players, with one player as the Alamat Chanter, the term for Game Master. This game only uses six-sided dice for everything. You're going to need around 6 in the beginning. By the end, you'll need around 20.
"BATALA IS DEAD, AND THE HOLY TRINITY HAS KILLED THEM. IN THE END OF THE UNIVERSE, WILL THEY SING OF YOU?"
Karanduun are those that are as fast as lightning, and as strong as the hurricane. Karanduun are those that, with a single command, fell entire armies and break the hearts of gods. But God is dead, and the Holy Trinity has killed Them. The Multiverse spirals into Kawalan, oblivion and entropy, due to the Hatred brought about by the forces of the Holy Trinity. Yes, there is no hope for this doomed world, but in its dying breath, the wake of the Karanduun, it might have been glorious.
Will you be remembered? Climb the Angel's Ladder and Make God Bleed.
What is Alamatpunk? Alamatpunk is the plight and struggle of eroes rising in power, ascending the Angel's Ladder, overthrowing oppressors, and achieving their destinies. They are Alamat, meaning legend or folklore in Filipino, for the heroes and the settings are inspired by Filipino legends, traditions, folklore, and mythology. They are Punk because they are stories focusing on fighting back against an oppressive regime and an overwhelmingly powerful outside force with nothing but you, your friends, and your ideals and beliefs to power you.
Other inspirations for Karanduun are Book of the New Sun, Shin Megami Tensei, and Kill Six Billion Demons.
IN THIS PDF YOU WILL FIND
- An Easy to Learn Heroic System. The system only uses six-sided dice, and is meant to be easy to play, inspired by the Exalted 1e Quickstart and PbtA-esque design principles. One player takes on the roll of the Alamat Chanter, the one who describes and facilitates the game, while the players play as Attainers who will build their Alamat. In this way, the Alamat Chanter sings the legends that the Attainers build for themselves.
- The system is dominated by Acts, narrative systems that trigger when a Player narrates their Attainer in a specific way similar to moves, and Responses, moves that the Alamat Chanter can use to make the PC's lives weirder, stranger, and harder to help facilitate a savage narrative that all the players create.
- The Center of Reality, Shattered. Kalagitnaan is the center of the universe, the greatest creation of BATALA. When BATALA was killed, the dregs of the multiverse seeped in from past the Endless Sea, where all universes can be found. Here the dregs of the multiverse festers, toiling under the horrible violence that is the Holy Trinity.
- Random Generator Tables. So you can create an adventure easily, right off the bat! Each table is wrapped in fluff that is unique to Karanduun.
- QUICKSTART SCENARIO: The Temple-Body of Aring Sinukuan. The Temple-Body of a War and Mountain Spirit has been defiled, turned into a devils pit for engkanto and Fallen druggies. Raid it and cleanse it of its head... and then fight your way out.
