Dark Fantasy RPG Gets New Rulebook with Innovative New Game Mechanics and Concepts Designed to Put Players Face To Face With Their Inner Demons

  PARIS, FRANCE (October 27, 2016) – Agate RPG, publisher of the award-winning Shadows of Esteren, announces today plans for Shadows of Esteren: Dearg, the third rulebook for the fan-favorite medieval horror roleplaying game and the launch of the Kickstarter to fund the publishing of this new must-have tome. The Dearg Kickstarter is now live and runs through November 17th, 2016.

Shadows of Esteren: Dearg puts players at the heart of the game’s narrative in a 500-page, hardcover essential rulebook to be published in two volumes and introduces three new innovative concepts to the world of Shadows of Esteren; Narrative Arcs, Focuses and Modular Scenarios.

Players will define a narrative arc for their character centered on the main themes of Love, Ethics, Guilt and Adoption. Through 21 scenarios, Player Characters are at the heart of the narrative, their own personal stories becoming critical components of the game’s dramatic tension. While the PCs are involved in the same quest, each member of the party has their own history and motivations. Among the campaign’s 21 scenarios, six are Focuses that will explore each PC’s intimate story, ultimately affecting the direction of the game. Modular Scenarios are comprised of several modules exploring various facets of a theme or character and offer the Game Leader several ways the scenario can evolve. Each module is symbolized by a tarot card drawn from Dearg’s tarot and by connecting the modules the Game Leader can create a story of their own.

“Dearg is the result of nearly 10 years of development,” says Agate RPG Creative Director Nelyhann. “Shadows of Esteren players will experience a story that will change their vision of the world of Esteren and bring them ever-closer to its dark secrets and to their own inner demons.”

The Shadows of Esteren: Dearg Kickstarter campaign offers several pledge levels, including one designed specifically for newcomers to Shadows of Esteren and one for veteran players of the game, as well as a slew of limited edition bonuses, stretch goals and add-ons. Dearg accessories include a complete soundtrack recorded by the Budapest Symphonic Orchestra, the Shadows Tarot Deck and game aids such as art prints, maps and scenario synopses.

Since first launching on Kickstarter in 2012, Shadows of Esteren has received more than a dozen awards for its art, production value and cartography, earned a silver ENnie Award for Product of the Year and has thousands of devoted players worldwide.

Shadows of Esteren is a medieval roleplaying game with horrific and gothic overtones in a dark, low fantasy setting. Drawing inspiration from Celtic myths, this universe has a subtle fantastic side hidden under a bleak, realistic surface. The Shadows of Esteren world is populated by men and women trudging through daily lives whiles also struggling with supernatural threats lurking in the dark. With the focus of its adventures being investigation and survival, Shadows of Esteren favors immersion and interaction among the players.

Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel will be a massive boxed miniatures board game featuring 40 new sculpts, new double-sided tiles, new rules and new creatures.

Further, today’s release also marks the launch of an open global library where users of the SoundSet Creator can share their creations with the Syrinscape community worldwide.

“By offering this powerful but easy to use sound design tool to the public, we hope not only gamers will give it a try, but also teachers, musicians, filmmakers, sound engineers, anyone with a passion for creativity and sound,” says Benjamin Loomes, creator of Syrinscape. “After more than a year in Beta testing, we’re thrilled to finally release the SoundSet Creator and we can’t wait to hear what sounds the community makes on their own!”

  CTHULHU MYTHOS COMES TO PATHFINDER’S WORLD OF GOLARION

  New Strange Aeons Six-Month Adventure Path Pits the Heroes of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Against Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors

  REDMOND, WA (August 31, 2016): Paizo Inc. announces today the release of “In Search of Sanity,” volume one in the new Strange Aeons Adventure Path for the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, in which new monsters, mind-shattering terrors, and explorations far beyond the known lands of Golarion await Pathfinder players. “In Search of Sanity” is available now in hobby game and bookstores worldwide, and on paizo.com (MSRP $24.99).

In a distant land polluted by an alien menace from beyond the stars, a great cancer grows within the earth. As its tendrils reach out through the dreams of those who learn and study its existence, a sinister cult grows more active in preparing the way for devastation that will destroy more than the minds of would-be heroes. The Strange Aeons Adventure Path begins with "In Search of Sanity," a mind-shattering foray into horror where the heroes awaken within the walls of the eerie Briarstone Asylum, their minds wracked and memories missing. Working together to recover their missing time, they soon learn that their amnesia is but a symptom of a much greater cosmic menace. As they struggle to retain their sanity, the heroes must ally with other asylum residents and fight against the monstrosities that have taken over the building and plunged it into nightmare.

“I’m a big fan of weird horror, and Strange Aeons is a fully Lovecraftian cosmic horror campaign,” says Adam Daigle, Pathfinder RPG developer. “Getting to play with those particular toys, to saturate an entire Adventure Path with horrific monsters, peculiar storylines, and with the strangest start to a Pathfinder Adventure Path to date, Strange Aeons is an exciting addition to the world of Pathfinder.”

The Strange Aeons Adventure Path includes six monthly, 96-page, full-color softcover books. Each volume contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Volume one,“In Search of Sanity” includes:

• "In Search of Sanity," a Pathfinder adventure for 1st-level characters by F. Wesley Schneider.
• A double-sized article that peers into the dangerous realm of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods who make up the Elder Mythos by James Jacobs.
• A dollmaker's macabre secret in the Pathfinder's Journal by Jason Keeley.
• A collection of weird and frightful new monsters by Eric Hindley, James Jacobs, Jenny Jarzabski, and F. Wesley Schneider.
