Epic 500-Point GURPS Fantasy! 'Slowly, but surely, our heroes have met their ends. Many are enshrined in abbeys across the continent, the new saints as they call them, others... well, their portraits are plastered across the walls of every tavern from here to the Poulanti Coast. But the fact remains, they're gone, and there are few who'd even bother picking up the sword or staff to take their place; that was until these folks turned up. I'm telling you now, Perci, those heroes... they're sum'fin different, sum'fin spectacular. The monsters thought they would soon have a run of this fair land, but not anymore. My coin is on that group!' Barley Farsune, Chronicler of the Wayward Words. You are the last of your kind. In an age of pikes, gunpowder, and growing reason, the world has forgotten the weight of a hero's sword. Most people never stray more than a few days' ride from their home, terrified of the wilds. You, however, possess a spark of the Four Magics, power born of Divinity, Nature, Spirit, or Chi, that marks you as something more than a common adventurer. While you may operate as mercenaries, you are not driven by coin alone. You are driven by the ghost of a golden age and the knowledge that the monsters are returning. As society crawls toward a new era, you are the final line of defence between the innocent and the things that howl in the dark. Your journey begins as you forge your "Hero Mantle," combining your source of power with a focus, be it storms, secrets, or death, to carve your name into the annals of history. No homework is needed to join; everything you need to know about this original world will be shared during our Session Zero. What you'll do: - Hunt mythic beasts and supernatural horrors across a vast continent. - Outwit tyrants and navigate the politics of a world transitioning to gunpowder. - Traverse untamed wilds that the common folk fear to enter. - Master and evolve your unique mythic power to protect a world that has forgotten how to save itself. What to expect: This is a roleplay and exploration-heavy campaign with high-stakes, cinematic combat. We use a curated version of GURPS to keep the game fast and focused. This is a mythic, heroic, yet gritty experience where your choices shape the legacy of the last heroes. Inspirations: Lord of the Rings, Demon Slayer, Kingdom Come Deliverance, The Witcher, Final Fantasy IX, Bezerk. *I am not the GM, but a player in this table looking for more players. Session 0 is hoping to begin 15 November, 1:00pm EST, with further games taking place weekly at 1pm. https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmvy66zfu010vlc08on7pi8p3
