Other Borders - Magical Realism in the American Southwest

First Post
Other Borders - a game of drugs, money and magic in the modern American southwest.

There are borders everyone sees: the looming fence with its sporadic observation platforms, the tags claiming this block or that in the name of a local gang or drug cartel, and the wrought-iron fences surrounding gated communities.

There are borders that are real only in our minds, like the imaginary lines that divide country from country, or one race from another.

But in this little southwestern town, another border reveals itself to those gifted with the power to see it: the veil between the worlds. Even today, the old ways of magic are still taught; spells, curses, visions and transformations are still practiced, and opposing clans are locked in a daily battle that no policia would ever understand.

Other Borders is based on DramaSystem by Robin D. Laws, and influenced by D. Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World engine. This Standalone Edition contains all you need to play (except 2 standard dice). Available now in PDF format at DrivethruRPG.com, RPGnow.com and the OpenGaming Store.

DESIGNER'S NOTE: Other Borders is based on the Malandros branch of DramaSystem, developed by Tom McGrenery. Mechanically, it is a stripped-down version of DramaSystem for quick learning and collaborative play, combined with character classes and moves inspired by Apocalypse World's "Powered by the Apocalypse" system.
