Obsidian: The Age of Judgement
 |
A mystic post-daemonic-apocalypse science-fantasy RPG¸ set in the year 2299¸ after the manifestation of Hell upon the Earth Plane in 2029. It is set within the ""Zone""¸ a massive monolithic structure housing the remains of Humanity. They are threatened by ""Daemons"" from outside which feed on sin¸ and sympathetic ""Kultist"" within. Characters have the option to play heavenly characters imbued by the Divinity¸ daemonic characters who serve the daemon hordes¸ or neutral characters that serve only themselves or the megacorporations within the Zone. It uses a skill-based dice-pool system: total (attribute + skill) d6's vs. difficulty. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
The corebook to the Obsidian universe¸ this book has all the rules¸ mechanics¸ history¸ setting¸ and players that are used in the game. Obsidian is set in the 2299¸ as a desperate humanity wages war against the manifested legions of Hell itself. In the final battle¸ the last vestiges of mankind construct a fortified city to hold the Daemonic hordes at bay. Within this city¸ massive corporations vie for power¸ Daemonic Kults carve a bloody swath through its citizenry¸ and technology has surpassed the limits of the flesh. Take care when choosing your allies¸ even more when choosing your enemies. This is the Zone.
