Raiders of Arismyth¸ Ashcan Edition
 |
Raiders of Arismyth is a modern dungeoncrawl roleplaying game about heroes braving a dungeon and getting away with treasure¸ saving the world in the process.
Arismyth is the dark and dread goddess that was apparently killed by the armies of the Kari Empire¸ a thousand years ago. In her death throes¸ she made everything south of the Tarkher Mountain Range unreachable¸ blocked off by a giant and unsurpassable glacier.
Now¸ a thousand years later¸ the glacier is retreating¸ and we learn that the ancient evil is not as dead as we had hoped. The shards of Arismyth are scattered in hidden places all over the southern lands¸ and their influence is growing. Will you do something about it¸ or are you just in it for the riches?
This is a game about the fun of everyone getting excited to explore a dungeon mapped out in front of them on the table. This could be a simple paper map with impromptu tokens for the heroes and monsters¸ or intricate 3D modelled terrain with beautiful and custom miniatures for everyone and everything.
It is about the joy of moving things with your hands¸ and being able to look at how the opponents relate to each other in space¸ having tactical combat where positioning is important.
And it is about the joy of making these things. This game wants to inspire you to do that¸ regardless of budget and skill.
Last¸ but not least¸ it is also about the joy of planning out your characters progression¸ thinking about which things to learn next¸ and looking forward to the moment when your sorcerer can dispatch a Goblin with the blink of an eye only!
