Apokryph: le dernier Cantique
A French-language modern day occult horror RPG¸ set in the Vatican. The PCs are generally members of the Vatican¸ from five key orders: Augustine¸ Dominican¸ Franciscan¸ Jesuit¸ and Carmelite. They are facing a possible end of the world coming¸ and various conspiracies and cults are working towards that -- both within the church and outside it. It uses a percentile skill-based system. Character creation is limited point-buy attributes and skills¸ with the chosen order giving advantages and obligations to the character¸ as well as a privileged attribute. There are 53 points to split among nine attributes rated 1 to 10 (Intelligence¸ Will¸ Education¸ Force¸ Memory¸ Charisma¸ Dexterity¸ Constitution and Perception). Then there are 450 points to distribute among the percentile skills. There are also three gauges: Mystique (perception of the world)¸ Faith¸ and Vitality. The core rulebook includes background on the Vatican¸ opponents¸ and an introductory adventure (The Conscience of Saint Pierre). - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
