MYRIAD SONG - Role-Play Adventure of Ten Thousand Worlds
 |
MYRIAD SONG is a tribute to the New Wave of Science Fiction... to progressive rock and sci-fi comic books... to Rush¸ King Crimson¸ and Hawkwind ... to Incal¸ Valerian¸ and Rourke... to Heavy Metal¸ Dune and Fifth Element. Journey to unknown spheres both real and imagined¸ because matter is merely atoms vibrating with frequency¸ and the difference between harmony and discord can be either an eyelash's breadth or a distant star. Converse with strange aliens¸ fall in with dangerous cults¸ stand on impossible skyscrapers that preside over undiscovered landscapes. The dangers are great¸ but the rewards are even greater.
In the darkness of ages past¸ our universe was visited by aliens strange and unknowable. They enslaved hundreds of people and they conquered thousands of worlds. For untold generations¸ the Myriad people served them¸ and worlds were stripped of all resources¸ and left barren and dead. And then¸ a century ago¸ the Syndics were gone. Did they retreat to another universe? Are they hiding on undiscovered worlds¸ in radio silence? Interplanetary factions spread their philosophy from place to place. The Solar Creed offers the people free energy . . . at the price of their freedom and liberty. The technologists of the Concord push forward with their new science¸ for better or for ill. What mysterious dangers lurk in the unknown voids of space?
A complete game in one volume¸ MYRIAD SONG is a science-fiction adventure where you will travel in the strange legacy of an alien empire. Discover primitive worlds with savage monsters . . . high-tech stations of amazing technology . . . derelict planets where people scrounge out a living among the ruins . . . and places far stranger. You will find lost treasures . . . and you will find horrors best forgotten. The risks are great¸ but the rewards are greater.
Built using the Cardinal rules engine (as seen in IRONCLAW¸ NOGGLE STONES¸ and USAGI YOJIMBO RPG)¸ our game lets you build your character to be as straightforward or as complex as you like. Play a no-nonsense adventurer ready for anything¸ or play a master specialist who has no equal in their field. Play an ordinary human thrust into extra-ordinary circumstances¸ or play a fantastic alien or machine¸ made from unknown science and with powers and abilities far beyond our normal space. Work with exotic alien materials to build savage and strange weapons¸ or use advanced technology to make cybernetic enhancements to make what you need¸ when you need it. Bluff your way past the secret police¸ or rob some petty lord of their ill-gotten riches¸ or fly a spaceship to vistas beyond any known horizon.
Lavishly illustrated in full color from some of the top talents working in science fiction¸ our game brings the worlds of your vivid imagination to you¸ and lets you make your story. Are you ready to heed the clarion call of the alien spheres¸ the music that is the MYRIAD SONG?
