Praxis-The Black Monk - Ignorant Sun
 |
In The Black Monk¸ Ignorant Sun the characters live in a desolate¸ but vibrant world where time seems to have lost meaning. Living for decades¸ perhaps longer¸ in isolation from others¸ the people of Thornwood work and live their lives in blissful ignorance of any danger. Or aging. Or death. People can come and go as they please¸ but why would they want to. Thornwood is paradise. Granted¸ the Thornwood Beast haunts the forest just outside the village. But if you avoid the forest¸ you're fine. No harm can come to those who just do their work and enjoy the fruits of eternity. But stories spread of a mysterious figure known as the Black Monk traveling the countryside. Sometimes his visits bring sickness. Other times redemption. No one has ever heard of him before¸ so these are obviously rumors. Who would dare interrupt paradise? Why is the sun fading? Praxis is a series of story roleplaying games that thrusts characters into dramatic situations and is based on the principles of the Protocol game system. Each game uses the same set of rules¸ with vastly different parameters¸ start-points¸ roles¸ plot twists¸ and finales. Praxis does not play like a traditional roleplaying game. It does not require a gamemaster. There is no script. No endpoint. No cumbersome or extraneous mechanics detracting from the story. An entire epic can be played in under four hours. All Protocol Games are 100% GMless¸ require almost no preperation time¸ and use the same game system. There are over 50 games in the series¸ which means there HAS to be something here for you.
