Mechanical Dream RPG - An Industrial Fantasy
Mechanical Dream RPG ist ein neuer Titel von Steam Logic Editions Inc. In diesem 'Industrial Fantasy'-Spiel. MD bietet 10 Rassen die Chance in einer magisch verfinsterten Welt zu überleben.
An ""industrial fantasy"" RPG¸ set on Kainaas¸ a circle of light nearly 30¸000 miles in diameter surrounded by a mysterious black wall. There is a mix of modern technology for the elite¸ while in slums and far-flung villages life is still in the medieval stage. It uses a dice pool system where attribute determines the type of die rolled (d4¸d6¸...) and skill determines the number of dice. The highest roll is the result. Character creation is open point-based. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim You're in a huge world enclosed in a circular¸ impenetrable wall of strange darkness¸ the Sofe. The unique source of light¸ the Pendulum¸ oscillates over your world¸ keeping reality present but when it's gone¸ the Dream takes over... with its own rules! Kaïnas is the territory contained within the disk of light that stems from the Pendulum¸ and it lies on Naakinis¸ something way bigger... Ten races struggle for survival¸ facing the natural dangers¸ the Dream and most of all 'orpee'¸ the earthen fruit which everybody¸ twice per week¸ must eat or else they die. Somehow¸ these disparate races erected a society¸ merging yet remaining different¸ aligning their respective skills toward survival.
The levels of civilization are mixed: below¸ in the slums¸ a gloomy industrial frenzy rules. Up above¸ on the plates built on the trunks of kioux¸ the miles-high Naakinis ecosystem trees¸ society¸ science and such are much more advanced. In the far-flung villages¸ life is still at the medieval stage: towns are surrounded with barricades¸ warriors fight with swords and spears. This makes up for ninety percent of the technology available to the people. The few who can afford guns¸ airplanes and such are scarce yet powerful¸ often big company bosses or Fated... The Fateds¸ beings born from Kaïnas¸ come from any race¸ any social class¸ any age. They are blessed - or possessed - with a particular Vocation induced by an inner Voice who confers them powers that¸ over time¸ brings them to the vastness of Naakinis... But why ?
Come find out by yourself¸ along the bold ones who dare asking the question. The Core's already in motion.
