Message: <blockquote data-quote="UniversalMonster" data-source="post: 313766" data-attributes="member: 1034">Oathbound rules!I was walking around on like.. Friday when I first saw it. I didn't buy it. I was walking around again on Saturday between running games and had another (longer) look at it. It just freaked me out. That night I finally decided that was the main thing I needed from Gen Con (besdeis the Everquest RPG, which I bought almost completely out of curiousity). On Sunday, just before we left, I made a beeline for it and bought it right off- the art is  *weird*, yes. It has this kind of high-schooly First Edition AD&D feel, like it was done by Sutherland or a pre-teen Dave Trampier or something, and colored in with crayolas. But it's really, really interesting to look at. And I end up liking the art the more I look at it.The setting is like.. d20 Planescape crossed with Tekumel or something. It's kind of a setting.. and kind of like a whole cap-system with it's own weird races and spells and stuff. Like there's a jellyfish race available to PCs. And they have "prestige races"; You can buy mutations for your character after a certain point. One of the Prestige Race paths is "way of the Shadow" where your shadow seperates from your body and actually acts as armor. Supposedly it's like a demi-plane or a prison-plane or something, so you could use it with an existing campaign (as long as you had access to some form of planar travel). Comes with a big adventure and bunch of other stuff. Arms and Armor is built for it, so they go hand in hand.  There's a 14 page preview at the Bastion Press site (<a href="http://bastionpress.com" target="_blank">http://bastionpress.com</a>). Take a look at the art and you'll see what I mean.</blockquote>
