Heirs to Heresy: The Fall of the Knights Templar
 |
Designed by bestselling and award-winning roleplaying game designer Alan Bahr¸ Heirs to Heresy is a roleplaying game of powerful Knights Templar escaping from a cruel world that has branded them heretics.
You are one of the thirty Knights Templar who awoke on Friday¸ 13 October 1307¸ only to find themselves wanted criminals and branded heretics by the King of France. Abandoned by the Vatican and sent away early in the morning¸ you must leave Paris on a day of reckoning and try to find your way across a dark¸ mythic Europe to a mystical utopia where you can rebuild!
Heirs to Heresy starts as a historical-fantasy roleplaying game¸ but is heavily influenced by Gnosticism¸ European Folklore¸ esotericism¸ and the myths and legends that surround the Templars. The game will ask you to craft the secrets of the Templar treasure¸ the enemies¸ and mysteries they will face¸ as your Knights undertake a mystical journey to the center of themselves along the road to Avallonis.
The mechanics are a blend of narrative¸ storytelling rules¸ and classic adventure-gaming inspired roleplaying rules that work to create rich aspect-driven characters. As Templar Knights¸ your skill at arms is unquestionable¸ but it is the potential access to gnostic spells¸ unique powers¸ or intensely powerful faith sets you apart from your compatriots.
Can you tap into your potential¸ guarding the mysterious Templar treasure on this last quest you will take for the order and find the answer to the burning question: are the Templars Heirs to Heresy?
