This crowdfunding campaign strives to release the <strong><em>ADOM</em></strong> pen & paper roleplaying game in two manuals (<strong>Player's Handbook</strong> and <strong>Gamemaster's Guide</strong>), as <strong>digital </strong>and/or <strong>print-at-cost </strong>rewards. Welcome to the wondrous Ancient Domains Of Mystery. <strong><em>The ADOM RPG</em></strong> is based on the computer game <strong><em><a href="https://www.adom.de/" target="_blank">ADOM</a></em></strong>, one of the biggest five ancient rogue-likes and the only one <a href="https://www.adom.de/steam" target="_blank">still in active development</a> by the original creator. <strong><em>ADOM</em></strong> caused hundreds of thousands of players over the course of over 25 years to lose countless heroes to the many dangers in the dark, cavernous dungeons littering Ancardia. A few brave and lucky souls managed to secure a victory either by defeating the Lord of Chaos and bringing peace and prosperity back to the world, or even usurping his position and declaring themselves a God. The <strong>Player's Handbook</strong> will feature all 12 races (dark elves, drakelings, dwarves, gnomes, gray elves, high elves, humans, hurthlings, mist elves, orcs, ratlings, trolls) and the 22 classes (among them chaos knights, mindcrafters, duelists, wizards, elementalists, necromancers, assassins, priests and many more) available, as well as how to play and progress them as their characters grow in power and unlock more abilities unique to their class and race. The book will have over 300 beautifully colored pages filled with amazing artwork. The <strong>Gamemaster's Guide</strong> contains extensive background information on the world of Ancardia, its monsters and minions of both Chaos and Order. Here you will find everything you need to run your adventures - no matter if your party is delving a dungeon in search for treasure, traversing the wilderness or even the high seas. The book will also have over 300 pages featuring gorgeous artwork.”[/HQ]</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]104424[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1059671560/vulcania-role-playing-game" target="_blank">Vulcania Role-playing Game</a></strong><strong> by GearGames</strong></p><p></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Wed, February 13 2019 4:33 PM EST. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: An original d12 RPG system </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Core rulebook </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: €48 plus shipping & handling for PDF and hardcover versions of the <strong><em>Vulcania Rulebook</em></strong> plus all PDF stretch goals </li> </ul> <p style="margin-left: 20px">[HQ]“<strong><em>Vulcania</em></strong> is a tabletop roleplaying game full of action, conspiracies and investigation based on a new d12 System! <strong><em>Vulcania</em></strong> is a tabletop roleplaying game full of action, conspiracies and investigation, set in the smoky atmospheres of the industrial revolution of a Fantasy - Steampunk world.
