Ecryme: Player's Guide
 |
The world has long been submerged by an ocean of ecryme¸ a strange acidic substance that corrodes everything. Humanity managed to survive on the small outcroppings and islands left in its wake. They built a civilization based on steelwork and stonework¸ where wood is almost nonexistent. Large cities¸ built vertically to make the most of what little space exists¸ sprang up from the horizon. After a few hundred years of development¸ driven by impulse¸ humanity built the traverses¸ endless gigantic bridges to cross the ecryme sea and connect to one another - coming together through chance or perhaps something greater. For in the strange world of Ecryme¸ the emotions of humankind seem to hold a power of their own...
Ecryme is a dystopian steampunk TTRPG set in a time parallel to our Gilded Age¸ but in a world forever changed by an apocalyptic event in the distant past. It uses a simple 2d6 system that favors skill investment over luck to drive moody¸ investigative roleplay driven by characters' ambitions.
The Ecryme Player's Guide contains everything needed to know about the world of Ecryme¸ its nations¸ beliefs¸ limits¸ and technologies. It contains all the rules required to play the game and a section dedicated to creating characters.
