Based on the groundbreaking genre defining roguelike computer game, ADOM the Roleplaying game will allow you to adventure with your friends in the Ancient Domains of Mystery. Ancardia was a peaceful world, but a mysterious Gate has opened in a deep and long forgotten cave and now the forces of Chaos spread their corrupting taint, twisting and changing the very essence of beings.
Through dark rituals, we have managed to attract some guest authors like the legendary Ed Greenwood, the sage Skip Williams, the wonderful James M. Ward and many more, who will contribute short stories which will be made available to all backers after the campaign.
It is for the heroes to decide which side to choose, if any, for Chaos offers tempting powers far beyond mortal capabilities.
Twelve races and twenty-two classes allow for a wide variety of unique playstyles where both class and race decisions will continue to matter as the characters grow in power. Fans of the roguelike computer game will find themselves right at home, as Fighters, Farmers, Necromancers, Mindcrafters and all other classes and races are available from the start.
ADOM the Roleplaying game is part of the Old School Revival movement and fully compatible with other OSR titles, featuring the “Danger System” – a smart take on advantage/disadvantage mechanics designed to simulate complex situations with very few rolls.
Featuring over 600 full colored pages with gorgeous, handpicked artwork over two books, ADOM the Roleplaying game seeks to set new standards in indie RPG design.
Funded in less than 24 hours, backers have until the 13th of February to pledge. Currently sitting at over 300% funding, the ADOM Roleplaying Game campaign has unlocked several stretch goals, mostly additional art and content for the Gamemaster’s Guide and the Player’s Handbook, bringing each book to over 300 pages. www.kickstarter.com
