Top Rope Games is pleased to announce their flagship role playing game The Locus. Due out 2Q 2011.
In The Locus players explore Illume, a fantastic world in a parallel universe to our own, where magic derived from emotion is woven by powerful mages and sword wielding warriors defend truth and justice. Lost on Illume are people from Earth sent there by an unknown force looking to unbalance the power which connects the two worlds. Armed with the knowledge of the Lost's true source the players must find them and help them return home before their very presence empowers evil sorcerous tyrants who wish to enslave both worlds. Explore ruins of bygone civilizations, discover powerful mystical creatures, and gain insight into their own personalities.
