d-Infinity Playtest Monday #32: Hekaton RPG

Join gamemaster Brendan Cass and Half-Orc zealot Kainara (Chris Leong), Human psychoturge Sophos (Jesse Roy), Antaean monster hunter Azdrubaal (Clint Staples), Cynocephalian entertainer/illusionist Anpo (Michael O. Varhola), and Human peltast Gideon (Nils Wiklund) for an exciting Hekaton RPG adventure set in the Aegean island city of Kos! 

In this session, our party of low-level vagabonds are recruited by the local Guild of Beggars, Locksmiths, Exterminators, and Guides to provide security for an important shipment as it is transported from the port to the Turanan Industries warehouse complex. Things, naturally, do not go as planned, and highlights in the events that follow include savage Kainara and giant Azdrubaal confirming why no one wants to get hit by them; Sophos engaging in some mind control; Anpo demonstrating his mastery over light and shadow; and Gideon breaking a chain with a heroically-cast javelin. 

 

Hekaton is a self-standing independent role-playing game created by Brendan Cass and currently being playtested and refined by the Skirmisher Game Development Group. It is set in the world of Skirmisher Publishing’s Swords of Kos Fantasy Campaign Setting, a swords-and-sorcery milieu set in a Dark Ages fantasy version of the Mediterranean a century after a Great Cataclysm destroyed the old world, plunged it into chaos, and reawakened magic and all form of ancient races and monsters.
