"Asundering" a New Year!
/With Solstice over, light is returning back to our word! Hark and rejoice! What a better way to usher in a new year than exploring Asunder, a brand new Dark Fantasy RPG system by our good friend Adam Lawson.
Asunder is a dark tabletop RPG set in a world without metal where plants and insects have been transformed into living weapons and machines. Created by Adam Lawson, director of Wil Wheaton's TableTop, Spellslingers, Sagas of Sundry and Escape the Night. It uses the Shadow of the Demon Lord game system created by Rob Schwalb.
In Asunder, the divine Essence inside humans bonded with elements of their world, allowing them to reshape plants and insects into living weapons, command beasts, grow multiple limbs, defy gravity and wield Chaos.
Asunder was once a large landmass, but was shattered when the gods ripped the iron from its core. Humans were then placed on the many islands, and their divine Essence spilled out and bonded with their environment.
On the island of Pacari, the people's Essence bonded with beasts allowing them to take on their shape and attributes or even command great herds. They are tribal people reflective of the beast they choose at a young age—the tribes who bond with bog wolves and very different from those who bond with four-winged ravens.
But don't take our word for it, If you want to see Asunder in action you can watch our very own Satine Phoenix play a Beastmaster named Sonya in Gaia's Judgement - "Blister Socket" Ep #1 | of Asunder's Liveplay!
We are very excited to share Asunder with you all and truly hope you enjoy it! Happy New Year!
