Player Characters


The core setting comes with eight playable races. These are the Witchbreeds, those who bear a Witchmark and are known as the Accursed. Each of the first six received its own blog post:

Dhampir - These are our half-vampires.
Vargr - These are our werewolves, who have some fun cultural depth, in addition to their inherent abilities.
Mummies - Their sarcophagus is not a prison, but rather it is a weapon and armor that they can wear and wield.
Golems - Are animated humanoid forms, which can be created from almost any substance, incorporating its properties.
Mongrels - The results of twisted experimentation to combine components of animals with humans.
Revenants - Undead who have emerged from the Black Cauldron of the Morrigan, but held on to their free will due to a particular drive.
Ophidians - Humanoid snakes, created by the Gorgon, who specialize in stealth and infiltration.
Shades - Living ghosts, servants of the Dark Queen, capable of traveling anywhere, but also subject to imprisonment by wards.

Campaign


The campaign is designed for the characters to battle those who do evil. This can include the Witches that conquered the continent of Morden, but it also includes their agents, known as banes. In many cases, seeming acts of evil could also be triggered by mortal humans who remain loyal to Witches for any number of reasons.The key story element, from the perspective of the Accursed is the decision to embrace or confront their Witchmark. Many wish to break the curse, so that they can return to a mundane life. However, those who choose to embrace it can instead become more powerful, unlocking particular elements of their Witchbreed. Of course, some argue that those who do so are just reinforcing their damnation. The setting book includes a Plot Point Campaign, which can transform the setting.

Artwork


We've previewed two pieces of the maps, a Witchmark, and the pencils for one of the pieces of interior artwork on our facebook page. We've also released additional preview images on Kickstarter, facebook, and in the descriptions for the book on DriveThruRPG.

  • More than half of the plastic parts of a car are produced from considered one of these supplies, including the bumpers, the inside physique parts and the dashboards. What's fascinating with mannequin airplane kits is that they arrive with the runner system still attached. So, you'll be able to|you possibly can} see the trail the melted plastic followed to fill the empty mould. In comparison, parts made in a desktop 3D printer may be ready for delivery in a single day, while industrial 3D printing methods have a typical lead time of 3-5 days. CNC machined parts are typically delivered inside 10 days or as fast as Duvet Inserts 5 days. The sprue is the main channel by which all of the melted plastic initially flows via because it enters the mould.
