[EL] The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav

Nuevo juego ambientado en el universo de The Dark Eye, desarrollado por Daedalic Studios y ya disponible para PC, a través de la plataforma Steam.

Esta vez, los jugadores se ponen en la piel de Geron, que queda atrapado en una extraña intriga. Los supersticiosos habitantes del Reino de Andergast estan enemistados con sus vecinos de Nostria. Han dado los primeros pasos para establecer una paz duradera, pero una misteriosa plaga de cuervos amenaza con frustrar sus esperanzas. Las aves muestran una actitud cada vez mas agresiva e incluso han empezado a atacar a las personas.

Para librarse de esta plaga, el rey necesita a un habil cazador de aves; una oportunidad para que el joven Geron demuestre que esa funesta reputacion que lo ha acompañado desde la niñez es inmerecida -y es que el pobre tiene una increible mala suerte. Tras una audiencia con el rey, se le asigna la prestigiosa tarea. Sin embargo, su mision no solo resulta ser inesperadamente dificil, sino que no sera mas que el primer paso en la mayor aventura de su vida: una aventura que lo llevara hasta las tierras inexploradas de Aventuria y mas alla.

The Dark Eye Chains of Satinav For centuries the kingdom of Andergast has been at odds with neighboring Nostria, but now first steps are being undertaken toward a lasting peace. But a plague of crows troubles the king, for the birds are acting with unusual aggressiveness, even attacking humans. As the belligerent creatures infiltrate even the castle itself, the king seeks a skilled bird catcher - an opportunity for young Geron to prove that the reputation for ill luck that has followed him since childhood is undeserved. However, the task will prove much more difficult than he expects, leading him on an adventure that will take him to the borders of the charted lands of Aventuria and beyond.

MRQII Clockwork & Chivalry Kingdom & Commonwealth #1: The Alchemist's Wife January 1646, and the land is in the grip of an icy winter. From Prince Rupert’s capital of Oxford, the Adventurers set out on a quest for the missing wife of a high-ranking Alchemist. Ahead of them, a ruthless Parliamentarian agent leaves a trail of destruction; behind them, a mysterious figure dogs their footsteps. They are bound for the tainted lands around Naseby, where the magickal aftermath of alchemical warfare blights the countryside. Beyond lie the Clockwork weapon-shops of Cambridge and a deadly climax which could re-ignite the smouldering embers of Civil War. The Alchemist’s Wife is an adventure campaign for Clockwork & Chivalry, which follows on directly from the adventure in the worldbook. It takes the Adventurers through a landscape of divided Factions, of powerful magick and clockwork machinery, of ghostly hauntings and twisted nature, as they struggle to survive and learn the truth about the Alchemist’s Wife. The Alchemist’s Wife requires the Clockwork & Chivalry worldbook available from Cubicle 7 and the RuneQuest II Core Rulebook available from Mongoose Publishing.

MRQII Clockwork & Chivalry Kingdom & Commonwealth #2: Thou Shalt Not Suffer There are those who claim that witches don’t exist! They also claim that tales of curses and crop blights, of midnight sabbats and dark conspiracies, are the fevered imaginings of fanatical Witch Finders. Those people have never been to Cornwall. In that wild and sea-girt land, the Witch Queen rules through sorcery and fear, and the Royalist majority seem to be in thrall to her evil will. The Adventurers are sent on a mission to this bleak, remote and sinister place, where they must struggle through a maze of witches, wreckers and pirates, miners, fanatics and superstitious peasants, to find the truth behind a growing evil which could swallow up the whole of England. Thou Shalt Not Suffer can be played as a stand-alone adventure, but also forms the second episode of the epic Kingdom & Commonwealth Campaign for Clockwork & Chivalry. Alongside a complete adventure are new rules for Witchcraft and information on those who practice it. Requires the RuneQuest II Core Rulebook from Mongoose Publishing and the Clockwork & Chivalry Core Worldbook from Cakebread & Walton and Cubicle 7.

MRQII Clockwork & Chivalry Kingdom & Commonwealth #3: No Man's Land In most of England, an uneasy peace still holds, following the horrific events at Naseby. But in the Debatable Lands, on the outskirts of Birmingham, the conflict continues. Cavaliers and Roundheads are bogged down in muddy trenches, fighting over every inch of blasted ground. Clockwork death machines grind across the landscape; magickally-created disease miasmas drift on the breeze and settle in the craters left by the incessant cannon barrages. And in the despoiled wastelands round about, rival gangs on stolen Iron Horses fight over scarce resources, obscure points of theology, and access to the Winding Stations that they need to keep their vehicles running. Somewhere in this bloody chaos, the renegade Clockwork Alchemist, Lady Arabella Blackwood, is up to no good. Can the Adventurers find her before she achieves her nefarious aims? No Man's Land can be played as a stand-alone adventure, but also forms the third episode of the epic Kingdom & Commonwealth Campaign for Clockwork & Chivalry. Requires the RuneQuest II Core Rulebook from Mongoose Publishing and the Clockwork & Chivalry Core Worldbook from Cakebread & Walton and Cubicle 7.

MRQII Clockwork & Chivalry Kingdom & Commonwealth #4: Quintessence ...to boldly venture where no gentleman has previously ventured It’s the talk of the town in the London coffee houses - how everyone’s buying shares in the Company of Gentleman Adventurers Trading into the Moon! In the London docks a ship is being built, designed by Clockwork genius John Wilkins, a ship that can fly. It will be the first vessel ever to leave the shores of Earth and venture to another world - whatever it brings back, the profits are sure to be enormous. When the Enterprise flaps its mighty wings and ascends into the empyrean, it seems like a perfect example of the superiority of Parliamentarian Clockwork over their Royalist rivals’ Alchemy. Only the Adventurers, their mission aboard the moon-ship a secret at the highest levels, know that they will not be the first to visit the Moon - their nemesis is ahead of them, and up to no good as usual. As the party face ship-board skullduggery, meet wonders between the worlds and face first contact with an ancient civilisation, the race is on to find the secret of the fifth element - Quintessence. Quintessence can be played as a stand-alone adventure, but is also the fourth episode in the epic Kingdom & Commonwealth Campaign. Requires the RuneQuest II Core Rulebook from Mongoose Publishing and the Clockwork & Chivalry Core Worldbook from Cubicle 7.

[NL] MRQII Wraith Recon

Y otra nueva ambientacion para MRQII, aunque no tan nueva para Mongoose que ya la habia publicado, compatible con D&D 4th, anteriormente...

Bienvenidos al Reino de Dardarrick, un reino en constante peligro, atacado por todas sus fronteras por otros reinos o por hordas de seres malignos y caoticos. Un reino que ya habria desaparecido hace mucho tiempo si no fuese por los soldados que forman sus unidades de elite Wraith Recon, verdaderas fuerzas especiales en una era de alta fantasia y magia, de las que el personaje del jugador formara parte.

MRQII Wraith Recon Core Book An original new setting for RuneQuest II, Wraith Recon transports the players into new roles and terrible responsibilities. The Kingdom of Dardarrick is beset on all fronts. To the east, open warfare with the Republic of Lorn has claimed tens of thousands of lives over the past decade and trenches now run parallel to the border, uprooting towns and villages in their wake. To the south, Lorn’s ally, the Kingdom of Torres constantly threatens overt military action, and has been implicated in many raids on nearby towns as the nation reaches a fever pitch of religious hatred. The wildlands to the west and north are home to goblinoids, ogres and giants, who must be constantly beaten back as they encroach on Dardarrick territory. And even within Dardarrick itself, evil lurks as the followers of the deposed theocrat Tomarsson plot their fanatical return to power. Players take the role of the legendary Wraith Recon units, dedicated special forces trained and equipped to operate far from the rest of the army. Entrusted with the most dire missions, the Wraiths are capable of overcoming almost any obstacle. Armed with the latest in Dardarrick magicks, and kept informed by the mysterious Spellcom system, Wraith Recon units are tasked with assassinations, raids, reconnaissance, and hostage rescue missions, in the name of truth, liberty and justice.

MRQII Wraith Recon Spellcom Wraith Recon is a fantasy setting where players take the role of a Wraith Recon team member – the elite and magically augmented Special Forces in the Kingdom of Dardarrick, the most powerful kingdom known to the world.

[NL] MRQII Deus Vult

Pero no todo van a ser ambientaciones ya vistas... en este nuevo MRQII aparecieron algunas ambientaciones interesantes, algunas nuevas, y otras que vienen de otros sistemas, como el D20.

Deus vult -en latin, Dios lo quiere- fue el grito de batalla de la gente en el momento de la declaración de la Primera Cruzada por el papa Urbano II en el Concilio de Clermont de 1095.

En esta ambientacion, nos encontramos en los ultimos años del siglo XII. Saladino ha reconquistado el Reino de Jerusalen, y la Ciudad Santa esta una vez mas en manos de los sarracenos. La Europa corrupta esta llena de herejias y hechiceria, mientras sus nobles discuten y se querellan. Incluso la Sagrada Iglesia esta cayendo presa de esta corrupcion... El mundo debe de ser salvado, a cualquier precio, por cualquier medio...

Los personajes de los jugadores forman parte de una Orden secreta de la Iglesia, dedicada a proteger a la Humanidad y el plan del Señor de los horrores sobrenaturales que se esconden tanto dentro como fuera del mundo civilizado. De los paganos de Oriente a los brujos de Europa, desde los cultos paganos, sedientos de sangre, de Inglaterra a la corrupcion dentro de las familias mas nobles... los monjes de esta Orden deben luchar contra los mas oscuros enemigos, al mismo tiempo que evita que la gente comun descubra las verdaderas raices de todos los males. Nada va a impedir que los monjes de la Orden lleven a cabo la Voluntad de Dios. ¡Deus Vult!

MRQII Deus Vult Core Book In 1095, Pope Urban II called on the kings and knights of Europe to liberate the Holy Land in a great crusade. As one they lifted their voices to Heaven, crying deus vult - God wills it! This cry was taken up by thousands of knights and peasants, martyrs and madmen, as a great tide of righteous fury flooded across the world. This cry was heard in the shadows, too. Since the days of the apostles, a secret order of warrior monks guarded the church and protected Christendom from all enemies, both natural and supernatural. Trained from birth and equipped with lost secrets of ancient civilisations, this secret order also hears the call to crusade. Deus vult - God will it, and they are the instruments of His divine Will. It is the closing years of the twelfth century. Saladin has reconquered the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the holy city is once more in the hands of the Saracen. Heresies and sorcery rot Europe from within, while the nobles quarrel and bicker. Even the church is falling prey to this corruption. The world must be saved, through any means necessary. No enemy, no sorcery, no doubt and no fear will prevent the monks of the Order from carrying out the Will of God. Deus Vult!

MRQII Deus Vult Ex Cathedra A cathedral is a prayer in stone, a vaulted hymn of masonry and devoted labour. The great cathedrals are symbols of the great faith of the people and the power of the Church. Soon, they will burn. Madness and misrule are loose upon the world, and only the assassin-monks of the secret Order can set things right again. From the Champagne Fair at Troyes to the uttermost depths of the Earth, the hunt is on - but who is the hunted, and who is the hunter, in a time when all law and even sanity itself is overturned. Ex Cathedra is a series of three linked adventures for Deus Vult.
